Music for the Love Hours

Jackie Gleason - "Music For the Love Hours" (1957) - Capitol Records

Hello Friends,

More like "Music for the Love Minutes"... am I right?

Once again, this Jackie Gleason LP is like audio dilaudid.  Lush, soothing arrangements that flow into one another like a hypnotic stream.  String arrangements aplenty, punctuated by Bobby Hackett's trumpet-in-the-fog cornet.

Its the perfect soundtrack for a lazy, snowed-in Saturday!

Why is the nightgown lady with the piercing blue eyes smoking a cigarette on the cover of this LP? Doesn't she know that that can be dangerous?  That nightgown looks flammable!

RATING: 4 Serenades in Blue out of 5
