CD Reviews

Velvet throat continues at his best

Ronald Ingersoll | 03/14/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

The Velvet Fog...

Daniel Roman | Colorado, USA | 06/04/2010

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This songbook of a variety of writers were carried off quite well in this early Torme release. Not the best of Mel Torme, really, but rather representative of how his larger than life talents carries any challenging melody. Torme remains an American treasure, ranking with the finest generation of vocalists of the 1940s, 50's and through the rest of his career and life.

Excellent collection

"If you are a mel fan like me then you will appreciate this collection. I wish that they had come out with this collection before we had to pay for all the singles over time. Mel had several version of his hits and this collection has many of my favorites."
