Synopsis

Amazon.com

Like many a pop singer in the post-war era, Rosemary Clooney found herself trapped between her record label's commercial expectations (fostered in large part by A&R exec Mitch Miller) and her own intense love of the jazz idiom. But, as this rewarding collection of romantic standards and ballads (most from mid-50's Broadway shows and film soundtracks) ably proves, Clooney could heat up even familiar chestnuts like "I'm In the Mood For Love," "Young at Heart" and a sprightly "You Make Me Feel So Young" with her marvelously personal phrasing. "You'll Never Know" gets seasoned with some slinky horn work courtesy of Harry James while Columbia label mate Guy Mitchell croons a duet with her on "Marrying For Love" from Irving Berlin's *Call Me Madam.* Elsewhere, sympathetic orchestral backdrops by Nelson Riddle (a downright sassy "That's How It Is"), Percy Faith and Paul Weston frame Clooney's distinctive voice with sympathy and grace. While focused on romance, the 16 tracks here are also a welcome introduction to less familiar facets of Clooney's stage and screen work during a decade when her fierce loyalty to jazz wasn't always reflected in her pop releases. -- Jerry McCulley

CD Reviews

Fifties' stylings of mostly quiet romantic pop...

William E. Adams | Midland, Texas USA | 06/19/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Because it is Clooney singing, and she was a world class artist, this is worth at least the four stars. Because these tracks are from the '50's, several from forgettable films, it does not quite rate the fifth star. More fun is the re-release of her RCA LP with Bing Crosby, "Fancy Meeting You Here" (even though its bonus tracks are worthless, the original record is a superb 35 minutes.) More sophisticated is the Legacy compilation "Jazz Singer." If you are new to Rosemary, try those other two items first. Still, "Love Songs" has its good points, for sure. There are some classic songs on here, although most are more popular in versions by other great singers. A few of the lesser-known lyrics are captivating, too. The CD lacks an informative booklet, unfortunately, and could have been improved if a few of the tunes promoted "lively love" rather than wistful romance. That's a common failing among all these compilation CD's generically titled "So and So Sings Love Songs" or "So and So...for Lovers." I've been in love a few times myself, and it ain't all sad or slow. Sometimes "Love" zaps one with high energy and a zest for life itself, but these reconstituted compact discs seldom reflect that side of the emotion."
