Our Take

JULIUS LA ROSA The Singles Collection 1953-1962 Review:

Ah, Julius La Rosa, the crooner with a voice so smooth it could make Frank Sinatra blush. This collection of singles from 1953 to 1962 is like a time machine back to the golden age of lounge music, where martinis flowed freely and the sound of a saxophone could make even the most stoic of hearts swoon.

The album opens with La Rosa's hit single "Anytime, Anywhere," a breezy number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. His velvety vocals glide effortlessly over the lush orchestrations, transporting the listener to a smoky nightclub where love is in the air and the dance floor is always calling.

Tracks like "Torero," with its fiery flamenco guitar and La Rosa's passionate delivery, showcase his range as an artist. And let's not forget the timeless classic "Domani," a bittersweet ballad that will have you reaching for a tissue and a glass of wine.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this album. Some tracks veer dangerously close to cheesy territory, with over-the-top arrangements and cloying lyrics that might make even the most die-hard romantics cringe.

Overall, The Singles Collection 1953-1962 is a must-have for fans of classic crooners and lovers of vintage music. La Rosa's voice is like a warm embrace on a cold night, comforting and familiar. So dim the lights, pour yourself a drink, and let Julius La Rosa serenade you into the night.

About the artist

Julius La Rosa

Julius La Rosa may not be a household name for millennials, but this Italian-American crooner left an indelible mark on the music industry in the 1950s. With his smooth vocals and charming persona, La Rosa rose to fame as a regular performer on popular TV shows like The Ed Sullivan Show and The Arthur Murray Party. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, La Rosa's career took off when he signed with Archie Bleyer's Cadence Records in 1953. Known for hits like "Anywhere I Wander" and "Domani," La Rosa's songs captivated audiences with their heartfelt lyrics and infectious melodies. However, La Rosa's career hit a roadblock in 1953 when he was controversially fired from The Arthur Murray Party for refusing to sing a song chosen by the show's sponsor. Despite this setback, La Rosa continued to record music and perform in various venues, garnering a loyal fan base along the way. With his distinctive voice and natural charisma, La Rosa's music has stood the test of time, appealing to listeners of all ages. Whether you're a fan of classic crooners or simply appreciate timeless music, Julius La Rosa's catalogue is a must-listen for any music enthusiast. So pour yourself a glass of wine, dim the lights, and let La Rosa's dulcet tones serenade you into musical bliss.
