Winners! – STEVE LAWRENCE***

Easy listening vocalist Steve Lawrence returned to the US album chart with Winners! which includes his most successful single, the No. 1 Go Away Little Girl, which in the UK was a top ten hit for Mark Wynter. Steve Lawrence is best known for his partnership, both romantic and musical, with Eydie Gorme. (US:27)

"Winners! boasts the number one hit Go Away Little Girl, a contemporary song bordering on teen idol pop that isn't representative of the rest of the album."

"The prevailing sound is that of the traditional pop era, as Lawrence sings songs old and new, with strings and a big band."

"This is a must-have album for Steve Lawrence fans, and it even makes a fine starter for people just discovering his magical style."

"Steve's voice sounds just great, and we are all better off for his having shared his gift with us."

"Steve sings Misty wonderfully and he never skips a beat either. His voice is in peak form and his excellent diction bolsters his performance all the more."

"In my opinion Steve Lawrence is one of the very best vocalists of my time, a very talented performer. His music is absolutely great."

"Someone find me a time machine please. What a great time it was to be young in the 60s, I really miss it. Thank you for this beautiful song Go Away Little Girl."
