With Living A Lie popular MOR vocalist Al Martino achieved his third top twenty US album chart success in less than twelve months. With one exception his future album releases would be much less successful. (US:13)
"Al Martino is definitely a member of the Italian crooner set or, if you prefer, the Music Mafia. However, unlike many of his predecessors and some of his contemporaries, Al has a definite flair for dramatic pop sounds."
"Al Martino sings a love song with an emotional undertone which is his own style."
"Al Martino is one of those great artists that never quite received the respect he deserved. He grew up with Mario Lanza and tried to follow him, then had the courage to re-make himself and his style to become a truly enjoyable singer."
"What a beautiful voice, only one Al Martino. You can understand every word. What happened to 'music' today. It is sad."
"Living A Lie is nice song, somewhat dated arrangement wise, but none the less quite good."
"I never knew that Al Martino recorded Vaya Con Dios, it is truly beautiful, only a voice like his could perform with so much emotion. You can understand every word, and he sang with a lot of feeling."
"Al Martino was one of those golden crooners. along with Frank, Dean, Perry, Nat, Bing, Andy, etc. The 50s American singers really did light up Britain after the dreadful war years, believe me I was there. It is amazing to me that they all came on the scene together (more or less). I count myself lucky to have lived through those years. Al had the same ability as Frank to convey human inner feelings through song. If you like classic crooning, this is for you."
