Product Description:
GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART
Here s a musical trip down memory lane that you ll never forget. Why? Because each tune is a memory. More than three hours of nostalgia-filled tunes and timeless melodies from the golden age of popular music, all combined in this marvelous collection called GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART.
The best popular tunes transcend the period of their original popularity. Songs like Begin the Beguine and I Remember You are as much a part of our musical present as they are of our past. Moonlight Serenade is ageless in its appeal, and A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square haunts us every time we here it.
All the songs in our collection will be around as long as people have memories. These are the songs that we ve grown up with and enjoyed all our lives. A song such as Smoke Gets In Your Eyes was actually written more than seventy years ago but still sounds as fresh and vibrant as when it was first heard.
GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART will have you saying, more than once: Listen, dear, they re playing our song an exclamation of delight in recognition, of close identification with a melody and through it a time, a place, an incomparable moment. A sense of poignancy and deep personal meaning, expressed as only a masterful lyric can express it. Our lives, as someone put it long ago, are our songs.
Even Edgar Allen Poe, that dark master of the macabre, once was heard to proclaim that he would much rather have written the best song of a nation than its noblest epic . He knew, as do we all, that the heart s true meaning most often finds its way into that magic blend of melody and text that has sung to the human spirit since time before memory.
It sings most often of love. Is there any force stronger and more pervasive, yet harder to understand or pin down? The more we know about love, the less we know. It summons forth the whole range of human emotion exultation and despair, affection and anger, quiet certainty and agonizing doubt.
For every situation, every conceivable mix of these and countless other emotional conditions, there s a song, some lyric which precisely fits mood and moment; a melody able to evoke strong feelings in the willing listener and the conviction that every note, every word, was expressly written for him or for her.
Time and again, you ll want to return to this tuneful delight...relax with it at the end of the day....create a convivial atmosphere when you re with family and friends... make a long trip seem shorter. The songs, by turn, are beautiful, haunting, cheerful, intimate and refreshing. They ve enriched our lives for so many years and will continue to do so in the years to come.
With your listening pleasure in mind, we have chosen recordings from some of the most popular and much-loved stars who each bring their individual magic to these songs that never grow old .
This is a dream collection that features 60 of our most fondly remembered songs. It is superb entertainment and will provide a lifetime of listening enjoyment.

The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever NeedI was looking for the song Goodnight Sweetheart sung by Al Bowly as it was important for me to locate this as I wish to have that included in my funeral service and not only did I find the one I wanted I found many more on the 3 CD set that I ordered that can also be played whilst a slide show is playing at my funeral.
