Misleading title as these tracks were hits for other artists, with the exception of the No. 16 US hit single Theme From A Summer Place. The Lettermen were a melodic close harmony group, who placed a vast number of LPs mostly on the lower reaches of the US album chart. (US:13)
"The Lettermen's smooth harmonies, supported by lush arrangements of new and reworked tunes, earned them a diverse following among the music buying public, giving them the top billing for adult contemporary vocal groups of the 60s."
"Not many Brits know about The Lettermen - they had just one minor UK hit single and no UK hit albums - but they were very popular in their American homeland, where they were consistently successful in both the singles and album charts, especially during the sixties. Smooth ballads were their trademark sound. The Lettermen are well worth a listen if you enjoy hearing ballads performed superbly."
"The Lettermen sing timeless standards in a nice middle of the road pop style, with good harmonies."
"You can't beat The Lettermen for love ballads and close harmony."
"Theme From A Summer Place is a classic by a real singing group, done during a period when musical acts actually knew how to sing. Too bad a lot of today's youths will never hear this great melody due to the fact that few, if any, radio stations play this kind of wonderful music. I never get tired of listening to this masterpiece."
