A, By AvidOldiesCollector (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Best of Lawrence Welk (Audio CD) The title comes from Stan Freberg's wonderful 1957 parody of Mr. Welk and his "bubbly" musical style [Wun-erful, Wun'erful], a format that drew more than it's fair share of ridicule from the more acerbic musical "experts" who, after 1955, fell into a pit known as "only R&R counts." Among those sharing their barbs and darts with Welk were people like Pat Boone, Paul Anka, Engelbert Humperdinck and Bobby Vinton. Strangely, however, the ones just mentioned all shared one common factor: their music sold in the millions.In Lawrence Welk's case he put 42 selections onto the Pop charts between his first in 1938 - Colorado Sunset (# 17), and his last in 1970 - Southtown, U.S.A.

Many of the songs such as Tie a "Yellow Ribbon" and "Raindrops Keep Fallin" are done in instrumental form which is preferable to some of the previous versions including lyrics. This album explores some of the many styles with which Welk was so fluent. Even some of the well known hits such as "Love is Blue" are greatly enhanced by that touch of magic accompanied with the light and happy feel that Welk added to every one of his pieces. I have discovered through experience that most non-Welk music is like flat champagne. |
