Two Of Us became the first top twenty album from the Massachusetts easy listening vocalist Robert Goulet who achieved recognition through his performance in the musical Camelot. (US:20)
“Two Of Us, arranged and conducted by Glenn Osser, found Goulet fresh from his star making turn in Broadway's Camelot, negotiating some lovely ballad material originated by the likes of Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Osser deliberately toned down Goulet's powerful voice in favour of a more intimate approach, resulting in some affecting performances. All of that was appropriate in establishing a talented new easy listening singer. In 1962 Goulet went on to win the Grammy for best new artist.”
“Two Of Us is a nice surprise, as this was Mr Goulet's second album. He really interpreted the lyrics well and it is obvious that the arranger, Glenn Osser, worked the same kind of magic with Robert that he did with Johnny Mathis. Robert was working himself into the ground on this album and the recognition came when he won the Grammy for best new recording artist. Two Of Us proves the award was justified.”
“Robert Goulet's voice is timeless. This is one of his best albums, featuring great versions of Goodbye, Little White Lies and I Wish You Love all beautifully sung and arranged.”
“What is there to say but simply the best baritone. I have played and played this LP over and over again. This is how beautiful his voice is."
“Robert Goulet will always be my favourite singer. No one can replace him in my book. He puts so much feeling into his songs.”
