Vic's Best Work.......2004-08-26

If you're a Damone fan--and you should be--you'll find no better example of why Sinatra famously said Vic had "the best pipes in the business."

My favorite of these two recordings is "The Lively Ones." These songs are ones he performed on a hit summer TV series that ran in the 60s. The cover picture of Damone in the middle of a muddle of models sums up the show: songs and beautiful girls, presented on location.

Billy May, coming off his classic work with Sinatra on albums like "Come Fly with Me," is also at the peak of his game here. His crisp arrangements are wonderful.

Damone is also known for his 'tropical' songs, and those are well represented on this double set. Highly recommended!

An excellent pairing.......2002-04-24

The first half of this CD (the "Lively Ones" album) consists of both swing numbers and ballads arranged and conducted by Billy May. The second half presents primarily breezy "tropical" ballads. An excellent coupling. Damone is at his peak in this 1962 recordings and the arrangements and song selection are quite nice; great sound quality, too. The booklet reproduces the original LP covers and liner notes.

vic damone at his best.......1999-12-15

this cd( comprising (2) lp's )is at last available, most songs are definitive versions as far as I am concerned, gems such as, "ruby", "laura", ect, sung with great feeling , while the uptempo numbers,"cherokee" , "charmaine" ect, really move along, terrific arrangements, all sung with great beauty of voice by vic damone,

EXCELLENT.......1999-10-30

This is one of the best recordings Vic Damone has done. Great voice and melody.
