As someone who grew up in the rock and roll era of the 1950's Frankie Avalon could do no wrong. He has looks charm personality and could he sing. I was not aware that he recorded this album for Chancellor Records but wow what a find. Keep in mind Frankie was about 19 when he recorded the LP. A kid doing what we now call The American Song Book. And do it well. Each song on the album is very well done. Well worth the money. I probably would not have bought this LP in 1959-1960, but today it's a super find. Thanks Mr. Avalon.
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, a group of young neo-Sinatra singers filled the gap left open by Elvis Presley's tour of duty in the army. The best of these included Bobby Darin, Paul Anka, James Darren, Bobby Rydell and Frankie Avalon. A & R men tried to push these singers into the teen-pop-rock market, but all of them were more comfortable singing standards with large orchestras. (Later, Anka developed into a fine songwriter and Darin was accomplished at anything he did in his short life.) The record companies, for the most part, had these men record pop pap for singles and allowed their singers to do more "adult" material on their LPs.
This album is the second which features Frankie Avalon with a big band arranged by Marcucci and Faith. Most of the songs are well established standards. Young Avalon handles these American classics like a champ. His intonation is dead on, his diction crisp and clear, and while he's not Mark Murphy or Anita O'Day, his time is steady and he often sings behind with beat, with safe interpretations. Like his "Come Fly with Me", which is near impossible to find, his versions of "Standing on the Corner", "The Music Stopped", "Our Love Is Here to Stay", and "I Wish You Love" can compete with any contemporary versions. The new Russ Faith songs, while not masterpieces, are swinging and pleasant. I highly reccomend this album to all fans of the Bobby Darin-Richard Wess collaborations.
