| This record is actually the third album session and fourth release ( recorded prior but released following "The Perry Como Christmas Album" ) for Perry's new RCA Producer Andy Wiswell and Conductor/Arranger Nick Perito. If there were ever any concern about their influence on Perry's recordings, both this recording and the Christmas Album, released almost simultaneously, removed all doubt. This album also contains the best liner notes ever written about Perry, by Canadian born Gene Lees, and he addresses very ably the quality of Perry's singing. Following in the footsteps of Hugo & Luigi ( for Andy Wiswell ) and Mitchell Ayres ( for Nick Perito ) the quality of these recordings and the high degree of excellence from everyone involved proved second to none. As with his albums of the 1950s, produced by the likes of Joe Reisman and Charles Grean, Perry has a habit of surrounding himself with competent professionals. Two other participants within these recordings, Choral Director Ray Charles and Recording Engineer Bob Simpson, have spanned virtually every New York recording session which Perry has ever done. |
