The Ray Conniff HI-FI Companion

"Over the last few years Ray Conniff has made a name for himself as one of the foremost conductor-arrangers of our time, dynamic, highly imaginative and equally skilled in handling voices and instruments. As this truly delightful album demonstrates, he has struck out along bold new paths; he has explored the fields of colour and texture with such effect that he has attracted a host of imitators who are unable to conjure up his magic but are conscious that he has recreated the essence of popular music."

Some of the writing credits may not be real, just seeing if anyone's paying attention! Or maybe Ray Conniff really did cover Paul Weller, Mariah Carey, Sparks, Elton John, Birdland, Sahara Hotnights, Fallout Boy, Scissor Sisters, Bananarama and Whitesnake!!!
