Продолжение текста / More textWithout doubt, vocalist Rosemary Clooney was one of the best interpreters of the Great American Songbook. On this 1960 meeting with legendary bandleader and arranger Nelson Riddle, Clooney is heard in fine form. Recorded during a period when she and Riddle were entangled in a steamy extramarital affair, this album is predictably quite romantic and carefree. Clooney later confessed that this was one of the most inspired periods of her life, due to her personal relationship with Riddle. Many standards are heard on this release, including an assertive "I Get Along Without You Very Well," an upbeat "April in Paris," and a swinging "Some of These Days." The little-known songs "Shine on Harvest Moon" and "Angry" round out this set of otherwise familiar Broadway tunes quite well. Riddle's orchestra swings hard on all 14 tracks, and a real simpatico is created between Clooney and the accompanying musicians.

Review John Bush, AMG:
Although Rosemary Clooney worked with Nelson Riddle nearly every week for her '50s radio show, they were together for full LPs much less often -- only this record from 1961 and a 1963 follow-up titled Love. The pair made the most of their first collaboration, devising a program of 12 standards that combined Riddle's pugnacious yet intricate arrangements with Clooney's warm, grand vocals to create a swing record with feeling. Riddle's orchestra roars through his breakneck arrangements for "April in Paris" and "Cabin in the Sky," but Clooney weathers the storm with an elegance that borders on the untroubled. Vocalist fits together with orchestra like hand in glove, since nearly all of the musicians were veterans of her show. [A Bluebird reissue from 2004 added two bonus tracks, "Without Love" and "The Wonderful Season of Love" (the latter was the theme from Return to Peyton Place, directed by her husband, José Ferrer).
