Biography

Not only was he one of the finest comedians America has ever produced, Jackie Gleason applied his prodigious talents to music as well. With a strong jazz roots background (leaning to mesmerized idolatry when dealing with good trumpet players), Gleason developed a chart-topping series of mood music albums in the '50s, citing his reason for their existence: "Every time I ever watched Clark Gable do… Read more in Amazon's Jackie Gleason Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Great romantic music from "The Great One.", August 27, 2002
By D. R. Schryer (Poquoson, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Jackie Gleason was an incredibly talented entertainer as a comedian and actor. But he also produced the best romantic popular music ever made. His formula was simple but brilliant: a lush string orchestra -- with no percussion to disrupt the romantic mood -- combined with smoth, mellow solos by the great trumpeter/cornetist Bobby Hackett. His first albums -- including Music for Lover's Only and Music, Martinis and Memories -- were smash hits, and deservedly so. Unfortunately, Gleason later altered his winning formula and produced some less successful albums. But the songs on this collection are excerpted from his best albums and are all winners. This is mellow, romantic popular music at its best -- by the master of the genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic example of the unknown side of Jackie Gleason., December 4, 1998
By A Customer
I have been a fan of Jackie Gleason's music for around 25 years. His music has a signature that is as recoginazible as his "And away we go!!!" When he put Bobby Hackett into the equation the formula was absolutely brillent and the result was unparralled perfection. I love this album.

1.0 out of 5 stars Jackie Gleason
I remember Jackie Gleason music from a long time ago. I wanted to see how it sounds today> I was very disappointed in the CD. It was not in sterio and the sound was flat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music
This is a sample of what the man know as "The Greatest" could do besides TV and Movies. The only down side to this CD is there are only 10 songs and I wish there were more.
