Fools Rush In

Product Description
"Silky smooth: that was Brook Benton’s byword from his first record to his very last, as the singer parlayed his rich baritone pipes into seven #1 R&B hits and eight Top Ten items." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE

This album features all of Brook Benton's hits from 1959-1970! Benton crashed the top spot on the R&B charts in 1959 with his moving "It's Just a Matter of Time," then rapidly encored with three more chart-toppers: "Thank You Pretty Baby," "So Many Ways," and "Kiddio". The early '60s were a prolific period for Benton, but he left Mercury a few years later and bounced between lables before reemerging with the atmospheric Tony Joe White ballad "Rainy Night in Georgia" 1970.

The best from The Best Singer and Tenor of all time........2007-04-24

This is a beautiful collection of songs. Once again it exhibits the depth and breath of Mario Lanza's vocal abilities. It is wonderful to hear him sing such lovely melodies. It is also splendid to read Derek Mannering's explanation of how Lanza interpreted each song with his heart and soul. For anyone who is a fan of Mario's, this collection is worth the price.

Gorgeous.......2001-11-25

Most of these songs are from the popular radio show he did in the 50's, when his voice was at it's best. I own numerous Lanza cds, and I can never get enough of his glorious voice and these beautiful songs. A lot of them can be found on other albums, it's true, but the first song is a previously unreleased gem, which was a big selling point with me. How could I pass this up? Also a lot of the songs are different versions from others I have, so this album was definately a must have, for me. I think that anyone who is a true Lanza fan, will love this cd.

Another great CD by the greatest singer of all time!!!.......2001-07-17

Derek Mannering has done it again in releasing yet another first class CD collection by the "Voice of the Century", Mario Lanza. Most of the items on this album have been previously released either on vinyl, CD, or both, but this collection is worth having nonetheless. The one item here never before released is the beautifully sung "All the Things You Are" and did Lanza ever serve this one up in first class fashion. The singing here is extremely fresh and vibrant. A recording that I don't believe has been on CD before is the "You Are Love", from Showboat, presented here (different from the performance on the definitive "Don't Forget Me" C). Lanza shows us here a truly passionate and ardent Gaylord Revenal. No other singer sang this song as well. "On the Street Where You Live" is given a very virile and beautiful rendition by Lanza. I don't know where or when I have ever heard the song "Where or When" sung this well. The rest of the selections on this offering are terrific as well, but can be found on other collections. This collection is worth owning, if for no other reason than for the four selections previously mentioned. The sound quality is excellent, giving the Mario Lanza voice the benefit of its full presence. Lanza definitely had a true flair for the popular song and Broadway ballad, as well as the ringing operatic aria, no doubt about it. If you're looking for a collection of classic standard and Broadway tunes performed with the mastery and excellence that only Mario Lanza could deliver, this CD is the one for you. Highly recommended!!!

Album Description

A beautiful tribute to a great American musician. Folk songs, spirituals, and ballads popularized by Norman Luboff Choir, performed lovingly by some who toured and performed with him for more than a decade.

What a joy this CD is for Jackson and me! It allows us to celebrate Norman's universal influence and to share some of his greatness as musician.

I met Norman at a Choral Associates Workshop, a week-long educational feast introducing the writer behind those fabulous choral arrangements. I auditioned for him, met Jackson, and entered a beautiful world intertwined with impeccable musicianship, personal inspiration, friendship, and deep affection. The circle of musicians with whom I have come into contact since that week in June 1973 continues to nourish my musical soul today. So many of my life's connections were established that week, including meeting Jackson's touring friend, tenor-percussionist and then budding composer Chip Davis. The thread binding us and igniting a strong influence of excellence is Norman Luboff.

Norman's arrangements are exemplary of his genius. His appreciation for folk music is evidenced by his sincere and respectful treatment of each melody. Texts literally come alive with his nuance on important words, sensitive rubato, and expansive harmonizations. He always implored singers to sing folk or popular songs in the vernacular, as they are spoken.

Norman would enjoy the Cantorum's wonderful singing -- their robust voices, their natural sentimentality toward the lyrics, and the depth of their passion. These are the kinds of musicians that Norman engaged: fascinating singers with great voices, differing vocal timbre and energies. The fantastic mix of solo voices comfortable in both the popular and classical worlds contributes to the unique Luboff choral sound.

Customer Reviews:

Norman Luboff Remembered.......2007-01-10

A very poor recording,almost amateurish. The voices seem to be adequate but the recording is so poor it is difficult to tell. This recording goes into my "I heard it once and that's enough" pile. The purchase was a mistake.

Please, more Choir, less Instruments!.......2005-06-08

I agree with the first reviewer. At age 56, I heard these guys live, and the arrangements were sublime. The vocals were amazing. Here, the instruments almost drown out the choir! Perhaps the pianist and bass player were relatives of the producer?? I would recommend almost any other Luboff CD over this one, even the ones reproduced with pops and hisses from the LP.

"Colorado Trail" is OK. "Shenandoah", one of the Choir's signature songs, is totally messed up.

Very disappointing, I'm sorry.

"A" FOR EFFORT.......2004-06-28

As a Norman Luboff Choir fan, I was extremely pleased to hear that a modern high fidelity remake was available of some of Mr. Luboff's works. Thank you to Mr. Berkey for resurrecting Mr. Luboff. I hope more discs are in the works or planned without the following shortcoming.

Unfortunately, the disc was disappointing because of what may appear to some to be a silly reason but not to me. The recording engineer probably did everything right except establish the presence of the choir relative to the instruments. Listen to a Norman Luboff Choir vinyl album or re-release on CD to hear what I mean.

In the original records, the choir is acoustically featured while in this CD, it's just another choir with equal emphasis placed on the orchestra. I hope that in future releases if any, the producer demands the same emphasis be placed on the choir voices as was originally applied in the recordings. After all, it is the Norman Luboff Choir voices I want to hear.

Norman.......2003-05-16

...I want to thank Almeda and Jackson Berkey for helping to keep Norman's legacy alive and Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum is wonderful.

The choir is superb.......2003-03-20

This CD is a Nebraska product, and a fine one it is! The director of the choir, Almeda Berkey, has combined with her husband, composer and professional pianist, Jackson, to produce this nostalgic look at the wonderful arrangements of their former mentor and employer, Norman Luboff. The liner notes in the accompanying booklet tell of the surprising association of Omaha's Chip Davis as a singer in the Luboff choir, along with Almeda. The choir is superb, well balanced, displaying beautiful voices and a thoroughly professional sound equal to that any of the Luboff choirs on the twelve LPs this author owns...Good variety in programming is a plus, as folk songs, pop songs, folk hymns and spirituals are all presented. Congratulations to the Berkeys, Recording Engineer Clete Baker and all involved on a first-rate recording!"

Sheri Petta - who would a thunk?.......2007-02-17

I heard a cut from Sheri Petta and enjoyed it so I ordered her only album and have played it over and over. She is gifted with a silky smooth syrupy voice - a torch singer with soul and perfect pitch - a real find.

great music and "match".......2007-01-08

I believe Sherry has a beautiful voice, and her music is quite entertaining and enjoyable. I would like to hear and learn more...

Smooth Renditions.......2006-03-20

A superb CD. Silky voiced, smooth renditions of classic numbers excellently produced with very professional backing. Well worth a listen.

Beautiful Fresh New Voice.......2006-01-22

Sherry Petta's music resonates with a fresh new sound. Her voice is clear and clean...reminds me of listening to jazz in a hot club, but without any smoky haze... a contemporary sound for today. I have given Sherry's CD as a gift to many friends and they all enjoy listening to it over and over again. The lilt in Sherry's voice is just charming. Buy this CD today for hours of listening pleasure.

Magical!.......2006-01-18

You must buy this CD. While visiting Arizona recently, I heard a song from this CD on the radio. I figured the singer was some famous person, and then I heard the DJ say it was from an "upcoming star". Well he was right. This woman can sing! All of the songs put you in a calm, relaxing, and "feel good" state of mind. In short, Sherry Petta's music is magical! I highly recommend it.

First Class Diva.......2006-06-20

I just got the album, it's amazing. Billy's voice is still strong and beautiful as on the Electibe 101 album from the early '90s. I'm surprised nobody knows about that album. It's kinda hard to find too but it's really good and worth searching for.

Spectacular piece of work!.......2004-12-24

It's such a shame that this wasn't released in the US domestically, but then again, in a world where mediocre-talented teenage pop divas (errrm...Lindsay Lohan and Ashlee Simpson) are getting their million dollar contracts, would Americans appreciate Billie Ray Martin and her album '18 Carat Garbage'?? Probably not, and it's too bad, cuz she is very much underrated as an artist.

I know this artist from her main house hits "Your Loving Arms" (1996) and "Honey" (2000-01 I'm not real sure). But then I found this album on iTunes for $9.99......this is by far the most eclectic album I've heard in years. Along with that unmistakeably soulful blues voice, she intends to infuse electronica/drum-n-bass with motown/'Elvis' rock/and some elements of country. It's an odd mix but it definitely works.

Stand out tracks are 'Captain Drag'...it's a slower paced electronica song with elements of motown. She's really in touch with her gay side (if there is one). 'Crime of Passion' is a fast-paced drum-n-bass track- highly recommmended. Then, there are some tracks that are not 'dance' at all; for instance, like '18 Carat Garbage', 'Ten Minutes on a Tues Afternoon in Buffalo', and 'Legends that Die.' These tracks have more of a 'country blues-ish' feel to them, it's interesting to hear the transition she makes from one genre to the other, and she pulls it off nicely. All the tracks are pretty good in their own way....just listen to the whole album with an open mind, as someone like BRM is easy to dismiss as she's not a mainstream artist with a familiar history of hits.

I only wish I had the physical copy so I could see if lyrics are in there. I guess physical albums (as opposed to digital downloads) are still good for some things, but I saved about $30 on the iTunes copy.

18 Carat Garbage...more like 24 Carat Gold.......2004-11-05

Upon my first listen of this album, I was amazed that BRM could produce something that could top her stellar debut album, Deadline For My Memories. She definitely eclipsed that effort & then some with this incredible masterpiece. This is one of those rare albums that works as a whole body of work. Each individual track can also stand on its own. Anyone Who Had A Heartache sounds like it could be on any of Aretha's classic 60's albums. The title track is a vocal throwdown with Ann Peebles & they really feed off each other. Where Fools Rush In is a heavily Motown-influenced track & is simply beautiful. I've Never Been To Memphis wouldn't sound out of place on country stations. Ten Minutes On A Tuesday Afternoon In Buffalo is a gospel-inflected tour-de-force. Hello, Hold On! features some of BRM's best wailing & wittiest lyrics. Systems Of Silence features more of BRM's creative wordplay. Her cover of Elton John's Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters is a hidden bonus track that is simply sublime. You can't go wrong with this album. Every track is absolutely amazing. BRM has really laid herself out there vocally, lyrically & emotionally. In a perfect world, this would be a #1 chart smash.

Billie rules my music world.......2003-09-01

My first exposure to Billie Ray Martin was on a compilation cd a number of years ago. Since that time I track down every piece of music that she produces. She has expanded my musical horizons from dance/electronica to soul, r&b, and blues type sounds.

She can do no wrong! She has an amazing voice that gives me goose bumps. Whenever I pop her music into the deck people's ears perk up and want to hear more.

She pours alot of passion and energy into her songs. I've heard her perform the title track live on the radio. It was just her and a piano. It blew me away. That is the true test of an artist! Her music is complex and will guarantee you years of listening pleasure.

Terrific.......2003-02-24

I have been listening to this album for over a year, and it just keeps getting better and better. This diverse group of songs succeeds on just about every count, and Billie Ray Martin's voice is a soul-stirring, euphoric, totally unique delight. Everyone I play this for falls in love with it. Splendid.
