Red Roses For A Blue Lady/So Long Lucy/Laura Lee/Heart(I Hear You Beating)/One More Memory/Don’t Talk To Me/Laughing On The Outside/They’ll Never Know/I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover/Looking Through A Tear/I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time

US MOR vocalist Wayne Newton's only US top twenty album entry came with Red Roses For A Blue Lady. His revival of the title track was less successful than that of Vic Dana. Wayne Newton is best known for his long residency as an entertainer at Las Vegas. (US:17)

"Red Roses For A Blue Lady came out in 1965 and became Newton's most popular recording. Although his career was far more dependent on Vegas than albums, the records gave him the exposure to draw Vegas visitors to his shows in the first place."

"The album Red Roses For A Blue Lady is one which I wore out through repeated playing in the late 60s and early 70s."

"Lots of vintage Wayne here. I love it. If you are a long time fan, this is definitely the songs you remember and love."

"For Wayne Newton fans, this collection of his early works, will remind you why he has been the success that he is. He is a gifted and talented man."

"This is another wonderful album from easy listening entertainer, Wayne Newton."

"Red Roses For A Blue Lady is easily another highlight of this album; Wayne croons this as only a pro could ever do. The musical arrangement makes great use of the brass, strings and percussion. In addition, I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time gives us Wayne performing a tune made famous by The Andrews Sisters; and Wayne sings this beautifully."
