"The decade of Perry Como recordings that is covered in this album is the heart of one of the most fabulous careers in show business annals. These performances run from the rising Como of May 1945 ( If I Loved You ) to the settled, assured star heard in "Chincherinchee", recorded in September 1956. The others, spread across the years between these two dates, include some of the most enduring tunes in the repertory of popular songs sung by the man who has made a career of relaxation."
