Sammy Davis, Jr.
is so low-keyed in his performance on this album, it will come as a total shock to those who only know the singer for his searingly energetic '60s and early-'70s performances on record and stage. His intonation is more than good enough to carry the subdued, exquisitely lyrical approach to the repertory, which is built around
Rodgers & Hart
,
Cole Porter
George Gershwin
Jimmy Van Heusen
, and so on. This is
trying to compete with
Nat King Cole
and pretty well succeeding, with
Mundell Lowe
's solo electric guitar providing tastefully understated accompaniment. Later on, he would add excitement to the equation, but here the singing in a reflective, almost introspective manner is good enough to carry the entertainment load. ~ Bruce Eder
