Comedian Ken Dodd makes his second appearance on the UK album chart with Hits For Now & Always which includes the No. 3 UK hit The River and his signature tune Happiness. (UK:14)
"Ken Dodd tries his hand at a wider variety of pop sounds, even brushing up against calypso music at one point on Hits For Now & Always. The album opener, Happiness, became something of a signature tune for him, and overall this is a much more interesting (though no more daring or challenging) album than his debut long-player."
"Puts most modern day entertainers/comedians in the shade, but sadly little of his material is played nowadays on mainstream TV/radio which in my opinion is a real shame."
"Put simply, if you like genuinely good music, good songs and good heartfelt singing then you'll enjoy this album."
"I should I be embarrassed about liking Happiness but I find it rather uplifting."
"Dodd was having a joke on all of us. Listen to the lyrics and see that this sickly sweet song Happiness is really a mickey-take."
"The River is a fantastic song from Ken Dodd. We played it as the first dance at our wedding and there wasn't a dry eye in the room."
