"It's Impossible" to pass up Very Best of Como....

RCA's The Very Best of Perry Como is a wonderful 21-song set which covers nearly 30 years of this barber-turned-crooner's career. I purchased this album one year after its release in July of 2000, and although I do love Como's voice and smooth delivery of such songs as "Papa Loves Mambo" (a Billboard Top 10 hit in 1954), I am fond of this record for sentimental reasons. When I was a girl growing up in Florida, my stepfather and I would either watch one of Como's TV specials or listen to his recordings on a record player. When I listen to "Some Enchanted Evening" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "South Pacific," I remember watching Como perform this classic ballad on our black-and-white TV, my stepdad (a Navy veteran who served in the Pacific in World War II) at my side.
As I said earlier, this CD is a retrospective of Como's long and successful career, starting with the 1940s Swing Era hit "(A Hubba-Hubba-Hubba) Dig You Later" to his sweet, romantic "And I Love You So" from the 1970s. Some of my favorite tracks include Slim Willet's "Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes," "Because," and an English language cover of Armando Manzaneros "Somos Novios," better known as "It's Impossible."
If you like Perry Como or want an album of easy listening music with one of the great talents of the genre, The Very Best of Perry Como belongs in your music library. I heartily recommend it.

Hey, I'm 16 years old and I LOVE it!!

Perry Como is awesome. For those who like retro and are tired of the ratpack and Brian Setzer, try Como. This cd is so totally cool. I love Catch A Falling Star, and Papa Loves Mambo(the one from the commercial). I've turned half of my high school onto this cd, kids at my school are now making out to Perry Como. I'd recomend this to any teeneger, it sure beats Britney Spears and The Back Street Boys.

Yo, this is like my Great Grandparents music, but it's jiggy

I'm jiggy with' dis. It all cool baby. Perry Como is so out, he's in. I especially like the novelty songs, he badder than Snoop Dog. Even if you think ya Grampa's music sucks, this music is cool, maybe Gramps had good taste in music afterall, yo yo it all cool babydoll... Dis' music rocks, it da bomb, it's phat, it's da sh*t!!!
