Description

Best known for their biggest hit, Diane - it was number one in Britain and was also their biggest American hit, the Bachelors tackled a diverse range of material, always stamping their own identity on whatever they chose to record.On this, the most comprehensive collection of their music ever released on CD, yow will find all their hits, including Charmaine, Diane, I believe and Sound of silence, and their misses - Faraway places, Whispering, Long time ago (a Christmas song), but a wide sample of their varied repertoire. There are children's songs (The unicorn, Land of the other way round), gospelmore… (I'll walk with God, He's got the whole world in his hands), traditional folk (Michael row the boat ashore, Danny boy), movie songs (Everybody's talking, Diamonds are forever) and oldies from the Great American Songbook (My foolish heart, I'll see you in my dreams).In some ways, their music was a relic of a bygone age even while they were recording it, but they brought a freshness and a charm to the old songs that allowed them to appeal to all ages. They recorded the occasional contemporary song - besides Sound of silence, you will find two other Paul Simon songs here (Punky's dilemma and Homeward bound) - but mostly they recorded songs of an earlier vintage. Many of those songs remain popular even now. If you enjoy those old songs and you also enjoy sixties music, this is for you.
