Our Take

Ah, Perry Como, the crooner with the velvet voice and the wholesome charm of a 1950s sitcom dad. His greatest hits album, aptly titled "The Best Of", is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who long for the simpler times of big band music and swoon-worthy ballads.

The album opens with Como's signature tune "Magic Moments", a song that encapsulates the romance and innocence of yesteryear. His smooth vocals glide effortlessly over the lush orchestration, making you feel like you're slow dancing in a vintage soda shop.

Tracks like "Catch a Falling Star" and "Papa Loves Mambo" showcase Como's versatility as an entertainer, with his impeccable phrasing and charming delivery. It's easy to see why he was such a beloved figure in the music industry, with his timeless appeal and undeniable talent.

However, there are moments on the album that border on schmaltzy, like his rendition of "It's Impossible", which veers dangerously close to elevator music territory. But even in these cheesy moments, Como's sincerity shines through, reminding us that sometimes a little cheese can be comforting.

Overall, "The Best Of" is a delightful collection of Perry Como's greatest hits, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a romantic evening in. So grab a glass of wine, put on your finest vintage threads, and let Perry Como serenade you into a state of pure bliss.

Perry Como

Perry Como, the legendary crooner with a voice as smooth as butter and charm that could melt even the coldest heart, has left an indelible mark on the world of music. Born in Pennsylvania in 1912, Como began his career as a barber before making a name for himself in the music industry in the 1940s. With timeless hits like "Magic Moments" and "Catch a Falling Star," Como's velvety tones have serenaded listeners for decades, earning him a legion of devoted fans. His effortless style and unmatched vocal talent have cemented his status as one of the all-time greats. But don't let his easygoing demeanor fool you - Como was a perfectionist in the recording studio, known for his meticulous attention to detail and dedication to his craft. He may have made it all look easy, but behind the scenes, he was a consummate professional. In a world filled with flashy pop stars and gimmicky acts, Perry Como was a breath of fresh air, a true original whose music transcends time and trends. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the enduring appeal of this musical icon. So pour yourself a glass of milk, sit back, and let Perry Como's soothing melodies wash over you. Trust us, you won't regret it.
