Album Notes & Community Reviews

A daring departure from his standard big band repertoire, the legendary vocalist collaborated with Bob Gaudio of the Four Seasons to craft a highly poignant, narrative concept album. The deeply melancholic, orchestral pop suite chronicles the despair of a middle-aged man abandoned by his wife, representing one of the most uniquely ambitious and emotionally devastating moments of his later career.
