Sincerely Yours – ROBERT GOULET***

I Talk To The Trees/The Nearness Of You/Tonight/Another Time Another Place/Poinciana/Ebb Tide/The Moon Was Yellow/You Stepped Out Of A Dream/Two People/Maria/Gigi/Stella By Starlight

Romantic MOR singer Robert Goulet’s second US top twenty LP Sincerely Yours, comprising popular standards and show tunes. However, he was destined never to trouble the UK charts. (US:9)

"Robert Goulet has one of the finest voices in the pop music of that era. Indeed, that handsome baritone sings those warm and tender ballads so convincingly, it's no wonder the ladies swoon."

"He had been trying to make the transition from 'Broadway Baritone' to the pop charts, and he finally hit the mark with Sincerely Yours."

"With a mixture of both Broadway and standards, and a letting loose of that big voice, he finally found the combination that showed his talents."

"The arranger and conductor, Sid Ramin, should be given credit for a job well done."

"Robert Goulet is gifted with an extraordinary voice: vibrant, deep and emotive."

"Listen to an authentic voice, with no tricks and let this old-school crooner put a spell on you."
