The faux-psychedelic graphics on the cover of this collection said it all-it was the aftermath of the Summer of Love in San Francisco, popular music was changing quickly, and Anita Kerr, having moved to LA after 17 years in Nashville, had this take on it. She had assembled a new group of Singers, the previous group not wanting to leave Nashville, and was rearranging pop hits like the Beatles' title tune, Bert Bacharach's 'The Look of Love,' Aretha's era-defining anthem 'Natural Woman,' The Mamas and the Papas' delightful 'Salt on Her Tail,' Frankie Valli's late-blooming hit 'I Make a Fool of Myself, the BeeGees' 'Holiday,' The Young Rascals' 'How Can I Be Sure' and The Association's 'Never My Love.' There's one fairly rare original by Anita on this orchestrally-accompanied collection, 'Stay.' The best of these 12 songs are interesting because they are romantic, sweet-harmonied, heavy-on-the-violins-and-horns takes on a new wave of popular music that was generally not about romance, sweet harmonies, violins and horns.
