Guy Mitchell: Showcase Of Hits


Liner states. One of the most eminently satisfying performers of the day. Guy Mitchell's reputation for exuberant, happy-go-lucky interpretations of cheerful, finger-snapping songs second to none. Not for him the distorted, gimmick-infested treatment accorded to their songs by many of today's singers - but a straightforward approach, coupled with a natural inborn gaiety which blends into the very essence of his material. 
You could say that, or you could say that Guy is late 50s middle-of-the-road filler, with no substance to any of the tracks other than, they are nicely arranged. I wouldn't cross the road for this one but I will listen again to make sure my opinion is the same.
