I have been looking for the song "Dream" for several years, and then to get the bonus tracks with it is fabulous. I especially appreciate that it didn't cost an arm and a leg. Thanks to the seller for his generosity. Even the shipping was reasonable and Im telling you most vendors sock it to you there.

4.0 out of 5 stars Film noir nostalgia, March 14, 2011

(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: The best of The Pied Pipers (Audio CD)

1940s Vocal group that harmonized like a dream and had incomparable Jo Stafford as main vocal - she possessed one of the best voices in the business and honestly was in the same league with Ella Fitzgerald. Because Pipers recorded with young Frank Sinatra in his Tommy Dorsey days,he is also represented here ("Dolores").

Twangy country parody "Friendship" precedes Stafford's later recording "Temptation" (Tim-Tayshun) (hilarious) and points that behind that serious voice there was a funny person with a big heart. Besides that one exception,the rest of compilation is full of hard swing and misty ballads - very effective in both,The Pied Pipers were absolutely at the top of their game at this time and recorded legacy they left behind is pure magic. Sure,it's old fashioned now,but it's a beautiful film noir nostalgia.
