Perry Como - Superb Singer, Super Songs and Superb Sound! August 10, 2006

Perry Como is as always in superb singing voice and sounds as wonderful as ever. The songs on this collection have all been sourced from the Release Master Tapes and/or Metal Parts (not original sources like 1st Generation Master Tapes, but the next best thing!)
This CD gets 5 stars straight away because of the guy on the CD - Perry Como!
However, there are several problems with this collection. This IS NOT 'The very Best of Perry Como' - a more appropriate title would have been 'Some of Perry Como's Biggest Sellers'.
'The very best of' CD's should give compilation producers the opportunity to explore the performers legacy more thoroughly. Here, all you have is songs that have been released on 100's of compilations through the years, plus many novelty songs - all of which are superbly performed, but that isn't doing much for Perry's credability! There are at least 6 or 7 'novelty' songs on this set and the rest are all ballads, etc thathave also been released countless amounts of times.
A 'The very Best of' collection should look at the performers entire legacy and pick tracks from various genres, era's, etc and include them chronologically. 'The very Best of' collections should also give you a taster of how diverse the singer was. This collection does not do that!
Once again making people not take Perry seriously!
Perry is currently one of the most underrated singers of his generation. It is probably a lot to do with the fact that Perry did not have the enormous ego that Frank Sinatra had - which is most definitely one of the reasons Perry has so much respect from his fans!
Perry lived the quiet, honest life. He wasn't getting into trouble, his private life was his own and he was a realy nice guy!
Another problem is that he scored so many hits with Novelty songs (which are superbly done by Perry!) but, so many lazy music lovers who don't look further than the big hits are assuming that this was the extent of Perry's legacy! THEY ARE TOTALLY WRONG!
I suggest that those of you who think that Perry's extent of music is mainly novelty songs should check out the following website: www.kokomo.ca - a superb website, cataloging Perry's -'Known to Exist' discography. You WILL be impressed, if you appreciate and enjoy top class performers and music.
There is one very special addition to this collection. It is an alternate take of 'It's impossible' - Which will interest any Como enthusiasts!
Perry Como to me is the greatest singer in the World - ever! That's my own opinion, but anyone else, it is definitely a fact that Perry was one of the finest performers of the 20th century - without a doubt!
This CD is a great addition to any CD collection! But! Please do bare in mind that this IS NOT 'The very best of Perry Como'! To me every song is the very best! Pardon the pun, but 'It's Impossible' to make a 'The very best of' collection Perry Como recordings consisting of one CD! You need at the very least a box set of CD's!
Superb Listening as always!
Matthew Long
An enormous Perry Como fan of a much younger generation!

The old barber Perry Como had the smoothest, most relaxed voice. At times he looked as if he was falling asleep. He exuded a niceness, a sentimentality that none of his compeers could match. He didn't have Sinatra's musical brilliance, but he had a kind of quiet integrity that radiated calm and pleasantness. My own favorites among the songs include one which I believe was his last great hit , "It's Impossible" and 'Some Enchanted Evening' 'If' . I personally do not go very much for the novelty songs, of 'Hot- Diggety -Dog' type.
Just relax and enjoy.
The songs included here are:
1. I'm Gonna Love That Gal (Like She's Never Been Loved Before)
2. Till The End Of Time
3. (A Hubba-Hubba-Hubba) Dig You Later
4. I'm Always Chasing Rainbows
5. Prisoner Of Love
6. Surrender
7. Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba (My Bambino Go To Sleep)
8. Because
9. 'A' - You're Adorable
10. Some Enchanted Evening
11. Hoop-Dee-Doo
12. If
13. Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes
14. No Other Love
15. Wanted 16. Papa Loves Mambo
17. Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom)
18. Round And Round 19. Catch A Falling Star
20. It's Impossible
