Artist: The Singers Unlimited/Oscar Peterson Trio Album: In Tune Track: Here's That Rainy Day


From the hint of sorrow to total disbelief, "Here’s That Rainy Day" remains one of Jimmy Van Heusen’s classic songs, having been sung to great effect by Bette Midler on the next to last Johnny Carson hosted "The Tonight Show." Another sonority filled performance of great beauty by The Singers Unlimited with a very sensitive performance by Oscar Peterson during the instrumental break.

indiepixie,

Glad you liked it! The Singers Unlimited always deliver. One of their members, Gene Puerling, died a few months ago so now he's up there directing and arranging the celestial choirs!

Anyways, I love this songs as well.

Yours truly,

Artist: The Singers Unlimited/Oscar Peterson Trio Album: In Tune Track: Once Upon A Summertime


This effort by Johnny Mercer was during the last ten years of his life in which he began writing with a wider range of new composers. The composer here is Michel Legrand, well known for his frequently decorative songs that have a timelessness peculiar for most songs of the 1960's and 1970's. Bonnie Herman is the breathy voiced lead singer on this romantically inclined and yet mournful song, with excellent chordal backing by her colleagues in the Unlimited. Peterson plays a very tender solo aided by his trio members.

Artist: The Singers Unlimited/Oscar Peterson Album: In Tune Track: Catherine


"Catherine" is the work of Patrick Williams, no relation to Paul Williams the singer/song writer/actor. The groove is established in a most soulful way by Oscar Peterson who literally has the field to himself as he plays with rhythmic flair. The Singers Unlimited are limited to making brief but telling humorous statements in a wordless vocalise heard both at the beginning and at the end.
