Album Notes Personnel: Perry Como (vocals); Dennis Budimir (guitar); Jerry Vinci (violin); Chauncey Welsh (trombone). Recorded at Evergreen Studios, Burbank, California on February 2-3, 1987. With a style that changed little throughout the decades, Perry Como brought a simple beauty to contemporary music that's remarkable whether or not we know of his earlier works. Even in his youth, Como tackled a variety of material. From the start, he had a gift for turning "blah" songs into "ooh la la" songs. On this CD, the good and the bad stand side by side, but his virtually ageless baritone acts as a tonic on even the most unruly melodies. The electronic ebullience of "Butterfly" is effective as Como's naturally relaxed baritone tempers it, and he celebrates the past in a magnificently mellow rendition of Rogers and Hart's timeless standard, "My Heart Stood Still."
