So Much In Love – RAY CONNIFF****

Autumn Leaves-Just Walking In The Rain/I Fall In Love Too Easily-My Heart Stood Still/Dancing On The Ceiling-Dancing In The Dark/I Wish I Didn’t Love You So-Bewitched/Whatever Will Be Will Be-True Love/Chances Are-Its Not For Me To Say

Unusually for a Ray Conniff LP every track on So Much In Love is a medley, pairing songs of love and romance. Easy listening music such as this was very popular with the grown ups of the time. (US:5)

“It is romantic and still is one of my favourites. It reminds me of falling in love. The background music is truly great and each arrangement is exceptionally good. If you like The Ray Conniff Singers like I do, you will love this.”

“I loved this music when I was young and I still think Conniff and his singers did a fabulous job on this album. Romantic, upbeat, creative, gorgeous sound, this just has everything. Perhaps my favourite track is the pairing of Dancing In The Dark and Dancing On The Ceiling. This album was made in the early days of stereo recording when engineers took pains to separate the 'right' content from the 'left' content, and that shows up nicely on some of these recordings, at least if you listen carefully.”

“Now, if you are a 'Classic Conniff' lover, how could you possibly omit this one from your collection? This is without a doubt one of the very best from this genius musician and arranger. Using an extraordinary blending and un-blending of the male and female voices, the entire production is a classic case in stereo effectiveness. This LP includes six 'mini-medleys' of genuine standards. It moves effortlessly from melancholy love songs to those that will make your heart rate increase a bit. Wonderful depth, matchless stereo, and pure Conniff.”

“The Ray Conniff Singers are definitely of the period. This particular album is one of the group's best, with less schmaltzy arrangements and creative group execution.”

“If you are a romantic person who loves somebody, this album was made for you; a precious collection of medleys to make you wish and dream with the person who you want to be with. All are romantic songs in the incredible style of The Ray Conniff Singers.”

“This LP is a treasure. Easy listening, good music, they don't make 'em like this anymore. The music is a love arrow to the heart of people in love, and on the way.”
