By many measures, Jack Jones was the most popular crooner to emerge between the heyday of Elvis Presley and the rise of the Beatles. In the span of two years, he snagged two Grammys for Pop Male Performance “Lollipops and Roses” in 1962 and “Wives and Loves” in 1964 which was enough to lay a foundation for a career that lasted well into the 21st century. Although his charting hits dried up in the early ’70s – prior to that, he was a fixture on the Adult Contemporary charts, racking up the number one hits “The Race Is On,” “The Impossible Dream (The Quest,)” and “Lady” between 1965 and 1967 he continued to perform in Las Vegas and on the road, making the occasional foray into pop culture, like when he sang “The Love Boat Theme” in 1980.

What a collection of songs! All the hallmarks of a Kapp album are here again: gorgeous ballads, reinterpretations of pop standards and current hits, several jazz excursions, powerful stage anthems, plus another surprising, unforgettable obscurity. The brilliant Marty Paich is back to chart this entire album – he and Jones have done so much incredible work together since the young singer was first signed at Kapp. And Doug Talbert is once again at piano – he contributed so much to the Kapp masterpiece, Jack Jones Sings. There’s such a smooth romanticism to this entire album.
