"If you fell in love with Rosemary Clooney in the 50's from her TV show with the Hi-Lo's as I did, this will be a very special treat. I would race home after my paper route every night to catch her program. Her warmth, love and genuine nature still comes through screen and surrounds you. Her brilliant interpretations rival Sinatra's in their quality. Even a cute duet with Jose Ferrer is included. Nelson Riddle's arrangements are the icing on the cake.



Although the innovative Hi-Lo's aren't featured as I would have liked, her wonderful family, including nephew George and brother Nick, offer wonderful insights to the lady singer and the loving mom. Michael Feinstein's insightful commentary further enhances the understanding of the lady and her music. Her strength and determination to make it through her poor beginnings to stardom, from a disastrous breakdown to a renewed successful career gives one an even deeper sense of respect for this timeless star.



When it's over, you'll be wishing for volumes 2,3,4,5,6... Great thanks to the people who brought the great lady to visit us from a distant past. It was wonderful.
