Editorial Reviews
Album Details
This elegantly re-packaged duet album from Jo Stafford and Gordon McCrae was originally released on CD in 1992. Jo Stafford is best known for her smooth vocals on the singles 'Jambalaya' and 'Make Love to Me'. This album with Broadway star and successful US vocalist Gordon McCrae is based on a more religious theme than their own works and has developed an air of collectability as a result.
Customer Reviews
A Gem!!!!!
If you enjoy Spiritual Songs that make you feel good without preaching, this is for you. Two
spectacular vocalists backed up by a flawless orchestra sing
vocal harmonies as no other male/female combination I've ever heard. Like the Everly Brothers, they also blend like they've been singing together all their lives. The album opens with perhaps their most famous duet, 'Whispering Hope' which was a hit
for them and simply beautiful music. 'Abide With Me' follows and
has a beautiful sadness to it. Next, 'In The Garden' continues to express the joys of believing in a life hereafter. So many other great versions of classic Gospel songs, 'Beyond The Sunset, 'Beautifull Isle of Somewhere', the somber yet beautiful
'Now the Day is Over',abound. This album contains all the Spititual songs they recorded together. I have about another ten songs they recorded, most of which are of the same high standard as these tracks. I'd love to hear all the songs they recorded. This CD is recommended for anyone who loves great vocal harmonizing, cause these two fine vocalists do it as good as anyone I know.
THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
I LOVE THIS CD IT IS SO WONDERFUL, GORDON MACRAE AND JO STAFFORD SING SO WELL TOGETHER IT MADE ME CRY. IT IS SO SPIRITUAL A MUST BUY.
Not overdone - SIMPLY beautiful
Wonderful harmony - full orchestra background with nice touches of piano. Their voices blend perfectly and they just SING the songs, so you can tell what they are saying, and can sing along.
