Listen everyone don't jump me at once but my favorite two Conniff albums are "Young at Heart" and "Somebody Loves Me" from 1960 and 1961. In the past when I...
“Young At Heart” and “Somebody Loves Me” is not my favorite Ray Conniff albums, but I like them as a many other his albums. My favorite tracks from the...
WELLCOME ABOARD, IGOR!! (FSIO KARASHO) CLAUDIO RIO, BRAZIL ... From: Igor Karpov To: ray_conniff@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 6:48 AM ...
Thanks IGOR. It's just that those albums are totally ignored on recent compilations and even on the so called "16 most requested" album. I was starting to...
Dear Brian I do like the Young at Heart and Somebody Loves Me albums, although I wouldn't class them as my 2 favourites. The vocals for me are very special, ...
Robert, Robert, Robert I am so happy that someone else hears the infinite beauty contained in "These Foolish Things". When I hear that song it's like listening...
Does anyone know if any of Ray's early recordings were recorded at Columbia's world famous 30th Street "Church" studios in New York City? Mike Bosko...
Ray recorded there often in his early days at Columbia. Many of the backings were recorded there and I recall him mentioning that studio when talking about his...
Hi people, Just a few comments on the most recent messages so that you know they ARE read, even though there are no daily responses sometimes: If you would...
thanks for your expertise inputs, Manfred - much appreciated Claudio ... From: Manfred Thoenicke To: ray_conniff@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 08,...
-Thanks for the info on 30th St. I had heard that Tony Bennett always preferred working there. Also Les Elgart and Andre Kostelanetz loved 30th St. You could...
Hi Manfred, I agree that "Somebody Loves Me" is a stronger album than "Young at Heart". Seven of the 12 tracks are amoung my top favorite Conniff songs. But...
"Young at Heart" and "Somebody Loves Me" are good albums, but i don't think they are as good as Ray's later work. They lack something to be considered amond...
Dear Briann The Ray Conniff Show is absolutely wonderful, as is the earlier Concert In Stereo. Highlights for me of The Ray Conniff Show are the unique...
Dear Jorge I would agree with you there regarding "En Espanol". I can't think of another bad album. Even though there are a number of songs on certain albums...
Hi Robert, It also happenned to me a short time ago with the "Bee Ges" album. I always hated it, because I always thought that it didn't sound like Ray at all....
Hi all: Jorge, I make your words mine, about enjoying and valorizing Ray's work. We have mentioned this before. Along the 70s Ray recorded many covers because...
You're absolutely right, Igor! The sound of the voices in the "My Way" album is thin. When this album came out and still now I could only listen to the...
Hi Juan! When I mentioned "Olvidame y pega la vuelta", I was thinking about how perhaps one the worst songs of all time (and I think it is) could become...
Yes, Jorge and Igor : these albums (MY WAY & 'S XMAS) need a remixing in order for them to sound at least like I LOVE MOVIES, which sounds great. Claudio ... ...
Perhaps Perry LaMarca could arrange for a re-make of MY WAY and S XMAS, gathering a new group of energetic singers, and using Ray's "playback". Well just a...
Hi all: I totally agree with you, Igor and Jorge, about the female voices used in Ray's last recordings. What happens is that Ray always used very credited...
You good people are so critical!!!! Just kidding; you are right on the money with "My Way," and it is one of the rare "Ray" albums I was disappointed with....
Yes Igor, right again. The female voices on this one comapared (to me) with those on some of the Percy Faith albums. I love Percy Faith, but I never got used...
Juan, since we are suddenly talking about "female voices," how about those on the Bebu Silvetti album? I think they are wonderful; beautifully blended and...
Jorge, I think you and I - and lots of others in this Group - are real "Conniff Traditionalists," as we did not necessarily welcome departures from from the...
GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK, DR. GLENN!!!! I have to agree with you about being uncomfortable with the albums that weren't up to Ray's standards. I guess that's the...
Robert, "Golden Earrings" definitely has a haunting quality about it, and was a very special addition to "Somebody Loves Me." It went from some very upbeat...
