Big and Bold

This week an album with a very BIG sound. It's Ron Goodwin's 'Rhythm & Romance'. It has a very 'retro' feel about it, especially when you consider that it's recorded in 1976. If I would have to make a guess on the orchestration alone, I would date it 20 years earlier. But the 70's classic 'Send in the Clowns' is a giveaway.



Lots of 'classics' on this one :

Side 1
01 South Rampart Street Parade
02 Temptation
03 Cherokee
04 Jealousy
05 I'll see you in my dreams
06 Brazil

Side 2
01 Stardust
02 Deep Purple
03 Laura
04 The Touch of your Lips
05 Return my Love
06 Send in The Clowns

imo you can never go wrong with 'Laura'

  2. Actually, I once went wrong with Laura...but that's a story for another time. Ron Goodwin was kinda stuck in the past but that might be his appeal. Thanks!--Bill

    1. Hi Bill,

      Never met a 'Laura', but I've encountered a few other names that went horribly wrong... Still it's a nice piece of music...

  4. Do you have any records by Julie London, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, or Sammy Davis Jr.? Thank you for good posts.

  5. Doug,
    I don't have a huge amount of vocal artists in my collection. Mainly instrumental. I'm still looking for a nice Julie London album to cross my path. There is some Nat King Cole in there, and maybe he will come around in the future...

    Regards,
    Heidi
