"Jane Morgan, a wonderful songbird with a voice as clear as a bell, never disappointed her adoring audiences; and just one listen to this album proves she had exceptional talent! She was able to use her voice as an instrument to convey all the subtle nuances of the lyrics to each song she ever sang; and that's grand. This is a great CD for her fans and the quality of the sound is excellent.
"Around the World" charms me with its natural beauty; and I really like Jane's sublime rendition of "It's Not for Me to Say." "An Affair to Remember" features Jane squarely in the spotlight--and that's OK with me! In addition, those violins sound so sweet and easy on the ear; it's terrific and "My Heart Reminds Me (And That Reminds Me)" is a wonderful classic that sparkles and glows in Jane's capable hands.
Other splendid tracks include "April Love;" "Young at Heart" with that accordion; "Melody of Love;" Jane's versions of "Tammy" and "Catch a Falling Star;" and I like "Who's Sorry Now" in all its elegance. As always, the music fits in perfectly with Jane's vocals, although wisely the musicians never even try to steal the show from Jane--she's right there front and center.
"The Day the Rains Came" is yet another fantastic gem that I could never tire of hearing; and Jane does great justice to numbers like "It's All In The Game;" "Volare;" "Come Closer to Me;" "Everybody Loves a Lover;" "Bambino;" "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams" and the ending tune which is actually the French version of "The Day the Rains Came." Magnificent!
Jane Morgan fans will love this album; and if you're new to Jane's artistry you're sure to be thrilled with her ability to sing out a tune without ever letting go of a superfluous note! If you decide you want more of Jane Morgan's music, there are other CDs on this website and there are also two CD sets such as Fascination: The Ultimate Collection and That's All I Want from You."
