Once Upon A Time – THE LETTERMEN****

Time Was/Young & Foolish/Lover’s Beach/Polka Dot’s & Moonbeams/Evening Rain/Once Upon A Time/How Is Julie/My Funny Valentine/Remembering Last Summer/Sixteen Reasons/Summer’s Gone/Turn Around Look At Me

Once Upon A Time was a quick follow up LP from the vocal harmony group The Lettermen that was not nearly as commercially successful as the debut, but followed the same formula. (US:30)

“Great little love songs, fabulous harmonies and terrific memories. These songs and presentations never lose their beauty.”

“The Lettermen at their best and that is something worth hearing. A must have LP.”

Evening Rain has a stunning arrangement for the piano and The Lettermen sing this with all their hearts and souls. It's a very pretty melody and they take this song to new heights. In addition, My Funny Valentine works at many levels at once; and this is another major highlight. Once Upon A Time shines brighter than silver and gold when The Lettermen sing it.”

“This early album from the original line up is fantastic. The Lettermen harmony has never been equalled.”

“A very good nostalgic album. The Lettermen were one of the more harmonious groups with lush sounds. This LP recaptures some of those feelings when young, in college, and all we had to do was study, be with friends, and listen to a variety of music.”

“The outstanding harmony, along with the orchestra, background singers, and great sound make this a 'must' for any fan of The Lettermen.”
