Full of delights and surprises
Alejandra Vernon | Long Beach, California | 01/01/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Thirty-five successful years in the music business is quite an accomplishment, and this album is a great way to celebrate, with the first half a selection of some marvelous songs that are strong lyrically and have a country feel, and the best of them is one co-written by Engelbert's daughter, Louise Dorsey, and tracks 9 -15 are a potpourri that includes some international hits, including "Penny Lane", which was the Beatles song kept off the # 1 chart position by Engelbert's "Release Me" in 1967. It all makes for a pleasing mix, and terrific listening.



Highlights for me are:

"How Slow We Go" (Agee/Dorsey/Collins) is a gorgeous song, and I'm surprised it hasn't been a massive hit and covered extensively by other artists. It's enhanced here by lovely guitar work by Hugh Burns.

The unusual, relaxed take on the Elvis hit "Love Me" (Lieber/Stoller), the beautiful melodic "If" (Gates), that was a hit for Bread, and what must be Engelbert's first rendition of a Charles Aznavour song, "She".



Engelbert sounds in top form, pouring his heart, soul, and artistry into every song, and the musicianship throughout is superb, with first-rate arrangements and production. Completing the celebratory package is a booklet insert with detailed recording credits, loads of photos and liner notes by Engelbert. The sound is excellent and total playing time is 58'30.

The King of Romance "Defines Love"!

"You just can't lose buying any Engelbert CD, and this one is the Best yet! He truly shows the intimate feelings we would all like to be able to express, but only Engelbert has the fabulous voice to arouse our deepest feelings, and Love. He is truly the Definition of Love, and that's why he is the "King of Romance".
Just a NOTE to Amazon: Please correct his name, it is
"Arnold George Dorsey, not Arnold Layne Dorsey.
Thank you,
Marilynn Sacker, Michigan"

"Having heard Engelbert perform "She" in concert a couple of times and eagerly awaiting the release of an album containing the song, we would've gladly purchased the cd just for that one song alone. The entire album is excellent!"
