CD Reviews

Unashamedly pop but often borders on jazz
Christi Serrao | Toronto, Ontario, Canada | 05/11/2008
(3 out of 5 stars)

"With his greatest hits package always getting us in the mood on a Friday, it is with great excitement to see that the King of Easy Music has a new album out.



Those doubting the quality of Johnny's talent should remember that he wrote and sung in his 50 years and counting career many hits.

On "A Night To Remember" he combines the old and the new. Yes the result is unashamedly pop but often borders on jazz.



"Just The Two Of Us" and the title track , on wich he duets with veteran Gladys Knight, bring out the best in Johnny's voice.



Whilst the track "Walk On By" doesn't fare so well, there's a great version of The Stylistics "You Make Me Feel Brand New", with Yolanda Adams, which some may think is sacrilegious but here it sounds, quite simply pure Johnny.



You may be questioning the presence on this nice allbum of the very epitome of the campy, cheesy sounds of ubiquitous sax muzak icons Dave Koz and Kenny G., brought in by the unfamous money oriented and business producer Walter Afanasieff (of the same greedy family of Phil Ramone, David Foster, Clive Davis,..) - well, this we have to have patience and bear it like the seasonal hurricanes which break the beautiful summer nights in Florida around August/September...



But as a whole, it is not a bad album at all !

Rather I would say, it's an enjoyable one !

Enjoy.

"I have been a Mathis fan since the late '50s,I have enjoyed him since I was in high school in San Francisco. We were both from the same high school. I think this CD is fantastic. Bought it for my wife for mothers day and it was a hit. Great music, great listening."
JM does it again

"JM does it again with. I loved all the songs particularly Walk on by and the Closer I Get. It's amazing at 72 years of age he can still sing ever so beautifully. I am happy he recorded these soulful songs. I hope he does another album like this one real soon."
