Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating from the massively successful motion picture of the same name, this collection captures the crooner at the height of his commercial and cultural dominance. The sweeping, sentimental arrangements perfectly frame his relaxed, conversational baritone phrasing. The release established a powerful synergy between Hollywood film marketing and mainstream vocal pop.
