Smooth American vocalist Jack Jones enjoyed his second US top twenty album success with Dear Heart. The number of high placed MOR albums began to gradually diminish as pop and rock artists began to assert their chart dominance. (US:11)
"Jack Jones broke through in the early 1960s, when rock & roll temporarily seemed to be on the wane and light pop on the way back. But when The Beatles invaded in early 1964, the 26-year-old singer, like most of his contemporaries, suddenly seemed permanently passé."
"There are so many stunning songs on this set that weren't even 45s, that you simply cannot get your head around how utterly brilliant this man really is."
"It's not just that he has a golden, smooth voice, with an almost operatic range, it's that he is never afraid of taking chances with his phrasing and delivery, which makes for some very exciting performances. What Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant did for rock vocals, Jack did for the crooners. He just transformed the entire concept."
"Jack has a beautiful multi-layered voice that just gets better and better with each listening. His musical stylings are impeccable and have truly stood the test of time."
"I tell you, this and many of all Kapp Records' Jack Jones are great treasure. Wonderful and imaginative arrangements by remarkable Pete King and Don Costa."
"These are the original, enduring Jack Jones recordings, his lasting contribution to music, the most perfectly enunciated, crystal-toned pieces of heartfelt romance imaginable. Jack Jones is indescribable - he reached perfection so soon, he had nowhere to go beyond that, and has been experimenting for years. Trust the perfect original."
