Customer Reviews of Good Life
Some Good Numbers For A Budget Reissue You've got to like a low priced collection that starts off with the singer's signature song.
"I Left My Heart In San Francisco" only reached number 19 in 1962, but it is the one song most closely associated with Tony Bennett. It has stood the test of time very well, featuring a powerful vocal performance of a great song.
"In The Middle Of An Island" went all the way to number 9 in 1957. With its ukulele and steel guitar backing, it verges on being a novelty song. Maybe that's why, despite its high chart showing, it was not included on Tony Bennett's boxed set.
"Just In Time" is a great standard, with a musical arrangement very reminiscent of Nelson Riddle's arrangements for Frank Sinatra.
"Young And Warm And Wonderful" is a slow ballad with a syrupy string backing. Tony's vocals lift this song above mediocrity.
"Come Rain Or Come Shine" is a bluesy tune with a tasty musical backing. Just listen to Tony flawlessly sustaining that last note!
"You'll Never Get Away From Me" features a strong vocal performance effortlessly overpowering a brassy musical backing.
"The Good Life" is a mid-tempo ballad that peaked at number 18 in 1963. It's another moving performance of a great tune.
"Taking A Chance On Love" is performed in an up-tempo style, much faster than the standard versions of this song. If this song doesn't get your fingers snapping and your toes tapping, call your doctor immediately!
"Fly Me To The Moon" starts off with its little known introduction, making the arrival of the familiar melody and lyrics sound all the more dramatic. Ignore the intrusive background singers, and concentrate on the great piano and saxophone backing.
"My Funny Valentine" features one of Tony's most subtle vocal performances. The tasty backing includes a standup bass, piano and drums. This version sounds like the last number at an after hours jazz club, and is the perfect ending for this collection.
Short but brilliant
I didn't know much about Tony Bennett's work until I picked up this CD. It only runs for a little over 27 minutes, but I am stunned by how much I enjoy it every time. For the casual Tony Bennett fan, this CD serves as a good intro to his work. It definitely made me more interested in him and I have bought several CD by him and similar artists since.
Good album - needs more classics
This album has some GREAT timeless moments - The Very Thought of you, Come Rain or Come Shine, Fly me to the Moon just to mention a few.
But then u get a few corny dated 1950s songs which noone except people from that era remember or like. If u can get the good tunes on other CDs, skip this one. But if it's on sale, it's a good deal.
