Editorial Reviews

Two albums of mostly movie themes done Vaughn-style equaled two Top 5 albums in 1960; in fact, A Summer Place went to #1! That album includes, along with the title track, `Tammy'; `Tracy's Theme'; `Climb Every Mountain'; `Que Sera, Sera'; `The Terry Theme from Limelight'; `True Love'; `The Sound of Music'; `The Three Penny Opera (Moritat)'; `Some Enchanted Evening'; `All the Way', and `Sayonara'. The hit title tune from Sundowners highlights album #2, plus `The Church's One Foundation'; `Theme from Dark at the Top of the Stairs'; `Everybody's Somebody's Fool'; `Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing'; `Theme from Mr. Lucky'; `Never on Sunday'; `O Sole Mio'; `Old Cape Cod'; `Remember When'; `Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu)', and `Walk, Don't Run'.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last, my favorite Vaughn albums are available on CD!, August 18, 2006

I can't thank Collector's Choice enough for this great batch of reissues! Six Billy Vaughn albums on three CDs! I know some Vaughn experts prefer the earlier albums which are dominated by the trademark "twin sax" sound. Vaughn tried to appeal to a wider audience in the early 60's by using more strings and diversifying his arrangements. Personally, I prefer this later period. These two albums, for instance, contain a generous collection of movie tunes that sound like magic! (Even if "The Sound of Music" was just a play back then - Billy Vaughn had a good ear for potential hits!) Sit back, relax and let this great, soothing music take you for a ride! Check the "Look For a Star"/"A Swinging Safari" twofer as well!

-"Theme from a Summer Place" forms one of my early boyhood memories. Upon hearing it, I am transported back to my parents living room in the mid 60's, looking through to the front yard and I can even smell lunch in preparation. Macaroni and cheese! I have long coveted my parents original LP, but I have to share it with four brothers who feel the same way. What a delight to find it finally out on CD. (I have surfed in vain for years). Nothing was lost in the remake. My spirits soared with the opening bars. It's a treasure. The double compilation makes it doubly valuable. Get it.

I ordered these CDs because my dad had the LP "Theme from a Summer Place" and played it continually as I was growing up. Listening to the music is very nostalgic for me and I am reminded how much I love instrumental music like this.
