It's Time For Regis!

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
That this 1968 release is Regis's only pop-vocal album says something about its overall quality and lack of commercial acceptance. One CD that you won't mind seeing end after 26 minutes, It's Time for Regis! captures none of the guy's unique meld of the exuberant and the wiseacre. Instead, it finds him tonelessly negotiating the likes of "Mame," "Swanee," and a combo of "Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goodbye)" and "Baby Face" that comes off not so much like a medley as the musings of a man who can't remember which song he's supposed to be singing. As for the absurdly schizoid production, a meld of rinky-tink tempos and half-hearted pop-country moves, let's just say that it represented a boldly over-the-top aesthetic stance in the year of the "White Album" and Beggars Banquet. --Rickey Wright

1 out of 5 stars At least he doesn't bark like a dog.......2006-11-02

Regis Philbin CANNOT sing...Let's be honest here...Sure,he's a star of teevee and all,but so are Lettermen,Leno,Oprah,Maury and Jerry Springer,but you do not see any of these people trying to match tonsils with Tony Bennett...And,sure,this album was made 40 years ago,when Regis was a nobody,but that is STILL no excuse for this disaster..I sing in the shower,and am a nobody as well,but you do not see me inflicting my bad voice on the listening public...Now this album might stand as a curiousity item,sort of a monument to the man BEFORE he became a teevee talk show icon,but Philbin has recently released another album of bad vocals,this time with a bigger budget,strictly as an effort to make a fast buck on his teevee status...Given that his new album is NOT any better than his old album (and,in many respects it is worse!),it is obvious that Philbin is a vainglorious doof,who has no regard whatsoever for the listening public...So buy this album only if the money would otherwise be spent on crack,or if you are moments away from death and really do not care where the money goes as long as it isn't left behind for your relatives to squander,but if you are healthy,and not mentally deranged,avoid this album as if it were the plague.

2 out of 5 stars For a man his age, he sings great........2004-08-26

This album was originally released in 1968, when Regis was Joey Bishop's sidekick. It was Regis's only commercially released album, although he later recorded some albums that he released on his own. Regis had an okay singing voice, but it was certainly nothing special. Also, his style was hopelessly outdated by 1968. The arrangements of these standards are incredibly corny, too. But a few of these songs are good for a laugh. The highlight of the album is the end of "Toot, Toot, Tootsie/Baby Face", where Regis yells out "Sock it to, 'em, Tootsie!". Now, that's (unintentional) comedy!

4 out of 5 stars Regee!.......2004-01-20

I ordered the CD because i am such a huge Regis fan, i love him, and after hearing him sing in person i really enjoyed ordering the CD. A great buy, suprisingly!

5 out of 5 stars Great album.......2002-09-03

It's pretty hard to believe that in 1968 that Regis Philbin could actually sing. This cd goes everywhere I travel as a Regis and Millionaire addict this cd got me hooked. Great songs that you never tire of. I also suggest you get Kathie Lee's album heart of a woman to also hear Regis's former sidekick sing too.
A MILLIONAIRE AND REGIS ADDICT

1 out of 5 stars A duet with Kathie Lee would be the topper.......2001-12-08

At least this album is better than Kathie Lee's.Then again the white noise of a static channel is better than her ill fated forays into music.Get it as a Christmas gag gift for someone with a sense of humor.
