Victor Silvester, Tommy Rogers, and Joe Loss lead their respective
orchestras on delightful pop standards meant to be used for
ballroom dancing. The music is organized by dance style: samba,
jive, tango, foxtrot, etc., and with 54 tracks over two discs,
there is plenty of music here to practice to. Fans of orchestral
pop will enjoy the music on its own merits.
It's doubtful that anyone born after the '60s remembers Connie
Francis well, despite the fact that she was a mega pop star during
the late '50s and throughout the '60s. Albums like Sings Italian
Favorites and More Italian Favorites sold faster than hotcakes at
the local fire department fundraiser, making Concetta Rosemarie
Franconero the forerunner to female performers like Madonna (though
Francis' wardrobes tended to be more conservative). The 2004
release of these two albums will most strongly appeal to those who
remember Francis from her heyday, and have been waiting for her
many, many albums to be reissued. The songs, sung in English and
Italian, and backed by a full orchestra, don't hold up in the way
an Ella Fitzgerald recording does, but Francis is a good singer
with a soft, romantic lilt to her voice. And while one wouldn't
call the production masterful, the MGM crew keeps a fairly even
hand on things for Sings Italian Favorites. The second album, More
Italian Favorites, is a bit more bombastic, and more echo -- which
isn't needed -- is added to Francis' voice. For old fans, or anyone
curious about the types of songs that made mom and dad fall in
love, Sings Italian Favorites/More Italian Favorites will be a
blast from pop history's past. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr.
