"I keep collecting and revisiting Engelbert CD's because these days real singing talent is hard to find. So many are maufactured in a studio with technology and unfortunatley great singers are fading away into our past. Engelbert is a master vocalist and a combination of smooth tone nuances and his powerful range makes him one of the best song enterpreters in the world. He is perhaps too romantic for most guys to listen to but i promise you if you give him an honest listen you will be impressed by his vocal abilities and powerful range, as a singer myself i know what he accomplishes vocally is simply amazing. This CD is one of his better ones. He has several cuts from that magical gathering between he and Babe Salvetti Orchestra (the Love Unchanied CD and the Engelebert Live DVD)which is some of his best work, if not his best work ever.
On this CD he leans strongly to big band or standards/classics era songs with a few modern ones thrown in. I really liked No Song like a Slow Song and Love me like we'll Never Love Again. Overall only Engelbert can do these songs jutsice with his special touch and like the songs he sings his talent is also timeless."
