Album Notes & Community Reviews

Catalyzing the massive 1950s market for instrumental mood music, comedian Jackie Gleason orchestrated this incredibly successful suite designed entirely as romantic background ambiance. 'Music for Lovers Only' bathes familiar standards in an ocean of sweeping strings, punctuated by sensual, melancholic trumpet solos by Bobby Hackett. The record established the blueprint for high-fidelity, sophisticated easy listening.
