Melodic pop idol Bobby Vee scored many transatlantic top pop hits in the early '60s, during the sadly underrated period of popular music sandwiched between the birth of rock & roll and the arrival of The Beatles. Recording Session contains three top twenty hits Please Don’t Ask About Barbara, Sharing You and A Forever Kind Of Love. (US:121 UK:10)
"Vee does surprisingly well on classics such as Arthur Alexander's You Better Move On, and even the thoroughly string-drenched Goffin-King number Sharing You offers a powerful vocal in all the right spots."
"He's a first-rate pop crooner across this opulently produced album, representing the soft and uninventive side of rock & roll."
"Is still eminently listenable, some of it is pretty solid rock & roll too, most notably I Can't Say Goodbye and Sharing You."
"He was underrated to a fault and this album represents the high-water mark of his recording career."
“Sharing You is pretty much my favourite of his records. I love the way his voice is double-tracked from the second verse on and he harmonizes with himself with the double-tracking."
“I love this guy, his music is amazing. His voice is so beautiful and so very different."
“Apropos A Forever Kind Of Love I can honestly say as a 29 year old who was brought up on these old classics, that he will be around longer than the rubbish that is out now."
