Sir Harry Secombe is best known as one of the Goons, but he also had some success as a vocalist, performed in a rather old time style. Secombe's Personal Choice, a mixed bag double LP, had its chart placing boosted by the No. 2 hit single This Is My Song. (UK:6)
"Clear vocals, so one can understand exactly what the words are, delivered by Sir Harry with a perfect command of his voice. This LP is to be highly recommended. Perfect to sit and listen to with a cocktail either before or after dinner."
"I wasn't disappointed, every track is sung with feeling and warmth. If you have never listened to Sir Harry sing, you must do so, he was the best."
"This LP is the Master singing strongly and with great clarity the songs many of us love to hear. There is no mixed music, no synthesizer just great vocals and wonderful chemistry. One is transported through many a stage performance and you live his words through the medium of vocal clarity and range."
"The man had a sensational voice and this music will live on for years to come. A delight from start to finish, go on give it a try, you'll be presently surprised."
"This album will convince you that here was a tremendously talented man, so much neglected and overlooked musically."
"Harry Secombe has a fantastic singing voice, the LP is perfect and we love sitting, listening and sometimes singing along with him."
"What a voice. As a Goon he was fantastic, and as a singer he is on a par with Kenneth McKellar. I would recommend this album to all who love great voices."
"If I Ruled The World is a wonderful piece of music and, of course, the unmistakable, magnificent, uplifting voice of Harry Secombe."
