A new innovation on Somebody Loves Me is that the Ray Conniff Singers actually sing the lyrics rather than provide a wordless backing to the orchestration. (US:14)
“Somebody Loves Me offers a program of pop standards and love songs that receive the full vocal group treatment rather than the wordless vocalizing for which Ray Conniff is known. The voices are out in front and gorgeously arranged, with the male and female singers on opposite sides of the stereo spectrum. More suave than Mitch Miller's singalong albums but just as infectious, Somebody Loves Me has moments of real drama, like the crescendo at the end of Golden Earrings."
“If I had to pick one artist that I could listen to forever it would be Ray Conniff. No one else has done so many great songs and in such a terrific manner. Ray arranged most of the songs like they should have been written in the first place. This album is one of the best, but they are all excellent. Younger people are in for a real treat when they discover Ray Conniff.”
“I am a new fan of this talented musician. The versions of You're The Cream In My Coffee and Don't Fence Me In are first rate. Great music is alive and well.”
“This is among the very best. Here you have some of the most beautiful, lively and high-quality stereo of the time.”
“The album where the Ray Conniff Singers start to sing the lyrics, plus the introduction of a new instrument, the clavietta. These songs are wonderful ballads and typically romantic. This is a fantastic work.”
