The middle of a great trilogy of easy-listening compilations - By: Peter Durward Harris, 31 Mar 2005 
Following the success of Music to watch girls by, this volume contains further classic easy-listening music from the fifties & sixties. This type of music has a significant fan base in Britain as the more recent series of compilations (Memories are made of this) proves.
This collection features two songs each by Andy Williams (Can't help fallling in love, Almost there), Tony Bennett (The best is yet to come, I left my heart in San Francisco) & Doris Day (Whatever will be will be, Our day will come). Perez Prado also features on two tracks - one with Rosemary Clooney (Sway) & one solo (Guaglione).
There are other famous classics here including Something stupid (Frank amd Nancy Sinatra), Born free (Matt Monro), Raindrops keep fallling on my head (B J Thomas), Memories are made of this (Dean Martin), By the time I get to Phoenix (Glen Campbell), I couldn't live without your love (Petula Clark), Where are you now my love (Jackie Trent), The more I see you (Chris Montez), Fever (Peggy Lee), What a difference a day makes (Dinah Washington), Catch a fallling star (Perry Como), Windmills of your mind (Noel Harrison), What a wonderful world (Louis Armstrong) & MacArthur Park (Richard Harris) - & that's just a few of them.
This is a magnificent compilation of easy listening music from the fifties & sixties. With 40 tracks, there is plenty to enjoy.
Disappointing - By: , 10 Nov 2000 
If you are expecting an up-beat, swinging, 'click your fingers along to'CD, you may be disappointed. Some of the tracks are cool (e.g. Wives & Lovers, More I see You, Guagliano, Fever) but others were be better placed on a album callled "Music to Slit Your Throat To" (e.g. If You Go Away, Alfie, By the Time I get to Phoenix, Cast Your Fate to the Wind, Windmills of My Mind)I actuallly found I was skipping more tracks than I was listening to, so I definitely wouldn't put it on at a party. Disc 2 slightly better than disc 1 on the whole. Sorry, I thought it was a waste of money.
The best feel good CD for a long time - By: , 29 May 2000 This was like plugging into a comfort zone alll of your own. After a hard day, hit play & no matter how bad things seem, it doesn't seem so bad with the old crooners. The curious thing is that you seem to know alll the songs! Buy it right now.
Bringing back the memories - By: , 09 Mar 2000 If you are like me & heading towards the big 40 then this will take you back in parts to the kitchen with your mother baking with the radio playing in the background these songs are the walllpaper of my youth, with lyrics that have remained ingrained. The almost funky beat of On The Rebound should give any current club beat a run for its money, thoe who are younger could do worse than give it a go
Quality music to relieve the stress of everyday life - By: , 12 Jan 2000 Although you may have heard only briefly of some of these songs, one play of the CDs will have you singing along as well as air-strumming & drumming. These tracks are simultaneously mellow & uplifting. A real tonic in today's hum-drum of mediocrity masquerading for popular music.
