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.
