Our Take

Dick Haymes' "It's A Grand Night For Singing" is a delightfully retro throwback to the golden age of crooners, with Haymes' smooth vocals gliding effortlessly over lush orchestral arrangements. The album opens with the title track, setting the mood for a romantic evening filled with timeless classics.

Tracks like "You'll Never Know" and "I'll Get By" showcase Haymes' impeccable phrasing and emotion, while "For Me And My Gal" brings a touch of old Hollywood glamour to the proceedings. The standout moment, however, comes in the form of the hauntingly beautiful "Danny Boy", where Haymes' voice shines with an ethereal quality that is truly captivating.

While some may find the album's vintage sound a bit dated, there's no denying the sheer talent and craftsmanship on display here. Haymes' ability to connect with the listener on a deep emotional level is truly impressive, making "It's A Grand Night For Singing" a must-listen for fans of classic balladry.

In a world of auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, Dick Haymes reminds us of the power of a well-crafted melody and a truly gifted vocalist. So dim the lights, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let Haymes' timeless tunes whisk you away to a bygone era of elegance and romance. It truly is a grand night for singing.
