Free Music Review: mighty fine tunes showing what we really listened to...
Hit: 5 Stars
Billboard Top Pop Hits: 1962 is another hot installment in this multi CD series with some mighty fine pop music tunes from 1962. I love the songs they chose for this album and the sound quality is as good as ever!
Chris Montez starts things off with his cute and rockin' number "Let's Dance." This number has an awesome beat marked by what sounds like a harpsichord or some kind of keyboard; and Chris sounds strong and full of energy! Awesome! Gene Pitney follows with his huge hit "Only Love Can Break A Heart;" this classic tune resonates well even in our times and it never fails to tug at my heartstrings. Gene sings this with all his heart and soul and it moves me every time. The musical arrangement shines every bit as good as Gene does but it keeps Gene's vocals in the spotlight where they belong.
The 4 Seasons perform "Sherry" with a lot of energy and this tune rocks well for a 1962 rock and roll song. "Sherry" uses percussion, drums and more to make a strong musical arrangement, too. Bobby Vinton's "Roses Are Red (My Love)" is another highlight of this album. Bobby sings this so well it also moves me with its beauty. The key modulations between major and minor work very well and Bobby seamlessly works his way through the lyrics as only a pro like Bobby ever could!
Connie Francis does her usual best on "Don't Break The Heart That Loves You;" and listen for Dion to perform his "Lovers That Wander." "Lovers That Wander" rocks well with a twist of doo wop that was so popular just a scant few years earlier. Dion never misses a bat--and he never sings a superfluous note, either!
The album ends great with David Rose & His Orchestra doing their fine number entitled "The Stripper." "The Stripper" uses brass, drums, strings and more to make this a memorable number that still sounds romantic and $eductive all these years later.
Overall, any fan of pop hits from the early 1960s cannot afford to go without this album. I highly recommend it.
