Product Description:

2 LPs on 1 CD: THE WAY WE WERE (1974)/THE HAPPY SOUND OF (1974).

Originally released on Columbia.

Liner Note Authors: Jack Gold; Ray Conniff.

Recording information: 11/26/1973-07/16/1974.

Arranger: Ray Conniff.

Arranger Ray Conniff's particular brand of easy listening maintained a dedicated fan base that was similar to Mitch Miller's. As arrangers, both Conniff and Miller were never shy about covering a quality song. It didn't matter who wrote it, what decade it came from, or what style of music it was. A good song is a good song. Case in point: Both of these Conniff albums were released around the same time in 1974 but spotlight popular tunes from two very different eras. The Happy Sound of Ray Conniff relies on standards from the '40s and '50s like "Chattanooga Choo Choo," "In the Mood," and "Half as Much," while The Way We Were includes then current hits of the early '70s by Paul Simon, Elton John, Helen Reddy, and Barbra Streisand. 22 tracks in all with over 60 minutes of music makes this an attractive package for fans. ~ Al Campbell

The Way We Were / The Happy Sound Of Ray Conniff Music Lover: Ron Narum from Houston, TX US -- February, 4, 2005

These two albums represent two great and very different Ray Conniff sounds. "The Way We Were" features the very talented Conniff singers used on his albums of the 70's with very contemporary arrangements. "The Happy Sound Of Ray Conniff" features the big band songs of the 40's with arrangements that blend that era with today in a way that only Ray Conniff could. These are a must haves for any Ray Conniff fan. Thanks Collectables for releasing them on cd!
