"I was 9 years old, a confirmed Buddy Clark fan, at that young age, when he was killed in a tragic plane crash - 1949. He had a radio show called the Carnation Contented Hour. Many of the best music critics and disk jockeys would refer to Buddy as "the late great" Buddy Clark. You can tell in his voice how much he loved to sing for people - what joy he had in it. Everyone will love this CD. With the miracle of the internet - he can be redisovered by new generations."

"I was in Junior High when Buddy Clark was at the height of his fame. Most of the other girls were crazy about Sinatra, but I loved Buddy Clark. He had such a beautiful voice, he could put over a song like nobody else, except maybe Bing Crosby back in his early days. Buddy Clark would sing with Doris Day, Dinah Shore and make them sound even better than they were alone. It was just terrible when he died in that plane crash in 1949, by then I was in High School, and I was just devastated. It was years before I could listen to another male singer, but Tony Bennett came along, and I felt that he was as close as anyone could get to singing as well as Buddy Clark sang, and some songs he sang reminded me of the way Buddy sang, like Because of You. I've been buying Buddy's records lately, and enjoying him all over again in my retirement years! RCinNYC"

"This is the best-sounding Buddy Clark CD available. While all the songs have been previously available, Sony has gone all-out to give us Buddy Clark's best performances in unbelievable sound! The remastering on this CD will lead you to think these selections were recorded in the late '50s or early '60s - certainly not the mid-to-late '40s! I can't imagine it ever getting any better than this. Treat yourself and your ears to this wonderful CD!"
