Music reviews of 16 Biggest Hits
Music Review: sublime---BRAVO, ROSEMARY CLOONEY !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Sixteen (16) Biggest Hits is a very strong Rosemary Clooney CD that showcases Rosemary in excellent form during the 1950s. Each track has excellent sound quality and the artwork is very well done.
"The Ole House" starts the album with Rosemary singing better than ever; and her excellent timing and diction bolsters her performance. The backup vocals help the song along but make no mistake about it--this is Rosemary's number, not anyone else's! The musical accompaniment makes good use of the guitar and percussion. "Tenderly" features Rosemary singing a much slower, romantic tune that she makes timeless with her sublime interpretation of this ballad. The strings enhance the beauty of "Tenderly" and I really like "Tenderly" a lot. It's perfect for slow dancing with your sweetheart in your living room!
"Half As Much" is another charming romantic number that showcases Rosemary's excellent vocal range; she sings this so well it sounds like I'm listening to silk! The strings help to carry the song along very well. Listen also for "Hey There;" Rosemary makes this a masterpiece in her capable hands. This love song shines like gold and I could never tire of hearing Rosemary Clooney singing "Hey There." "In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of The Evening" also gets a fine treatment from Rosemary who delivers this peppy little tune with panache--great brass, too!
"Come On-A My House" has a stunning arrangement; and Rosemary never misses a beat! "Blues In The Night" with Percy Faith & His Orchestra sounds beautiful when Rosemary sings this song, too. "Botch-A-Me (Ba-Ba-Baciami Piccina)" is a playful tune that doesn't take itself too seriously--it's not as bad as some may say. I love that keyboard sound--I think it's a harpsichord.
"Mambo Italiano" never came off better than when Rosemary sang it; she delivers this like the pro she always was! The Mellomen make a great backup group for Rosemary on "Mambo Italiano," too. Sophisticated Lady is yet another huge hit when Rosemary sings it; the musical arrangement uses the brass and strings to great advantage. The album ends with a marvelous version of "From This Moment On;" Rosemary sings this Cole Porter song with grace--not to mention all her heart and soul. It's an excellent ending for this album.
Rosemary Clooney rightly deserves much credit for being one of the greatest entertainers of the twentieth century. This fine CD gives us a great sampling of her vocal talents. Casual fans will be enchanted by this album; and people who enjoy classic pop vocals will also appreciate this CD. Diehard fans may want to consider box sets instead of this album; two suggestions are the box set entitled The Songbook Collection and Songs From The Girl Singer-A Musical Autobiography.
