It Must Be Him / Honey

by Ray Conniff

I like the music of Ray Conniff, with his singers of course. My music cassettes aren't good sounding anymore so I decided to buy all their available CDs in the market and one of this is It Must Be Him/Honey. It Must Be Him is one of my first albums I won't get tired of playing over and over again 'coz it was so beautiful. The sound may not be as of today's standard but the quality of recording was still there. I definitely recommend this album for collectors like me.

Folks, 1968 was one of the most PROLIFIC years of recordings for Ray Conniff....In 1968, Conniff was at the top of his game....His arrangements of Pop Songs were the BEST of the BEST....He simply could do NO WRONG with whatever he touched...Do you realize that in 1968, Ray Conniff released, It Must Be Him, Honey, Turn Around Look At Me and I Love How You Love Me..........4 OUTSTANDING LPS with arrangements that were BEYOND PERFECT...Look at those damm sexy LP COVERS...Ray Conniff's IT MUST BE HIM is so damm sexy....You just want to frame it in your house....(Oops, I did just that..) Music To Watch Girls By is FABULOSO, the best version I have ever heard of that song...Yesterday is lovely, It Must Be Him is so creative and even more creative is SOMETHING STUPID....Blows away that boring Frank Sinatra/Nancy Sinatra version....But flip this record to Side B: Release Me is OUTTA this WORLD..Herman's Hermit's There's A Kind Of Hush is incredible...with Ray joining in on the "barambarambarm..." Listen closely and you will hear him....What the World Needs Now is PERFECT.....Petula Clark's Don't Sleep In The Subway is so so SWEEEEET!....HONEY is a GEM.....What a clever, positive and Happy approach to this sad, sad song...Ray Conniff's version was played constantly on the radio stations... I SAY A LITTLE PRAYER is a CLASSIC CREATIVE CONNIFF MASTERPIECE....Petula Clark's Kiss Me Goodbye is Beyond Words!! "Gentle On My Mind" just simply ROCKS! Like "Rose Garden" Rocks, Like "Snowbird" Rocks! Like "Mrs. Robinson" rocks...Get the picture.. The Sounds Of Silence is Perfect..... What about Valley of the Dolls....Wow! THESE LPS were sexy, they were gorgeous, they were CONNIFF in the 60-'s

The 2 LPs are the best of Mr. Conniff. The sound of the first is better than the recording of today´s music. And look the art of "It must be him", is spectacular.
