Back to Black Satin Lounge

     "A wisp of cigarette smoke in the soft lamplight, the tinkle of glass, a hushed whisper...and music for lovers only. This is love's entrancing setting. For music, in a thousand ways, describes each glowing facet of romance. In this album Jackie Gleason has chosen a group of love's most appealing melodies...tender ballads that have special significance for all of us. Here is tuneful, sentimental music for your most relaxed listening moments."

     And how! Not only does this album have a great cover, but the songs are excellent, too; this record delivers exactly what the copy on the back (above) promises. Don't forget to check out Bobby Hackett's smoky trumpet in the sound clip below.

     "He is, indeed, a man of numerous talents. And many people have come to know him best of all for his wonderful Capitol albums. In this album, his fine musical taste and feeling are clearly evidenced: in his choice of songs; in his selection of arrangers C. Dudley King, Jr., and Richard Jones, and outstanding trumpeter Bobby Hackett as soloist; in Gleason's own skillful conducting of this charming presentation of MUSIC FOR LOVERS ONLY."
