Canadians Bernie Toorish, lead tenor; Brank Busseri, baritone; Jimmie Arnold, second tenor and Connie Codarini, bass; began singing together as, in fact, ladsâ at St. Michael's Cathedral Choir School in Toronto. They polished their harmonies at night, and obtained a try-out engagement at the Ruban Bleu in New York. It stretched into 30 solid weeks, and the Lads were on their way to being voted America's favorite vocal group. This is 2 LPs (originally released in 1959-60) on one CD, both orchestrally accompanied, all contagiously jazzy and exuberant as the lads demonstrate their versatility with ballads, old-time favorites, racing rhythm numbers and popular standards. This is night club entertainment at its finest!â'Swing Along'swings through 13 songs, fromâ'The Old Oaken Bucket'andâ'Comin' Through the Rye'toâ'Swanee River,'â'Mexicali Rose,''Let Me Call You Sweetheart'andâ'Moonlight Bay.' 'Everything Goes' features Cole Porter'sâ 'All of You,''It's All Right With Me' andâ'Anything Goes' as well as popular hitsâ 'It Had to Be You,'â 'You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You,' and 'I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry (Over You)â'. To pick one signature cover, we'd have to go with â'Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive,'as the Lads' sound is so bright, shining and out there, it's impossible to feel bad listening to this CD. |
