  • Description

    Faces and fads come and go, but nothing lasts like a classic love song! Sit back, relax and revel in the impeccable artistry of Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Doris Day and many more, as they bring you the sweetest, smoothest and most heartfelt songs ever written.

    Remember how tunes like "That's Amore", "Unchained Melody" and "The Twelfth of Never" captured the thrill of first love - and how, in melancholy times, just the first heart-tugging notes of The Four Aces' "Three Coins in the Fountain" or Shirley Bassey's soaring "As Long As He Needs Me" could change your mood in a moment? Gathered here are tunes that speak the language of love exquisitely and sincerely - all matched to the class and style of Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford, Billy Eckstine and Dickie Valentine, in hard-to-get recordings you very rarely hear on the radio today.



    So take a trip back to a more innocent time - to the heyday of heart-throbs and mighty movie tunes like True Love and Mona Lisa, to an era when melody was king and lyrics had meaning. Every one of the 48 tracks is an original hit from the 40s and 50s that's positively packed with memories!
