Gleason couldn't red a lick of music but that didn't stop him and Capitol from releasing 40 LP's over the years directed at easy listening fans...Jackie would relay his thoughts to the arranger and producer and away they went...He really did know how to come up with some good tracks...This is the kind of album your Dad would plop on the turntable at dinner time as the family sat down to break bread...He and Mom already had a martini underway and it was time to relax and settle back with some good mellow sounds...Gleason worked with many arrangers over his career including the trumpet great, Bobby Hackett...This album was one of the top sellers in the series...
