(5 out of 5 stars)
"We must never lose touch with our past - "DEAR DEPARTED PAST", gives you a glimpse of what was...and still remembered through the lyrical interpretation of Rosie. Although this is the last track on the album, it is very much Rosie with memories of things that we classify as...unforgettable. Opening is the sensitive and endearing - "DANNY BOY", never better with a tear in her voice and heart-felt rendition, just Rosie and piano accompaniment by John Oddo, a classic performance...a salute to bandleader Tony Pastor, whose band the Clooney Sisters joined in 1946 is "I'M CONFESSIN' THAT I LOVE", Pastor gave Rosie her break to record and led to her solo career.With 16 tunes, many you'll treasure for a long time...this down-to-earth performer sings "OLD FRIENDS" with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope looking on, they'll always be other times as the "girl singer" makes NEW MEMORIES!Total Time: 61:42 on 16 Tracks...Concord Jazz CCD 4633...(1995)"
