The Definitive Collection

Itâ€™s not too much of a stretch to say that Percy Faith invented easy listening music; along with Mantovani, he pioneered the use of string sections to soften and sweeten the brass-dominated sound that dominated popular music during the â€˜40s. Faith was also one of Mitch Millerâ€™s main men at Columbia Records, where he provided arrangements for everybody from Doris Day to Tony Bennett to Johnny Mathis, and he composed some of the most memorable soundtrack themes of all time. Now, Real Gone pays tribute to one of the great arrangers and composers in pop music history with a 32-track set spanning 22 years of recordings, including hit singles, tracks drawn from a total of 20 different albums, and a number of his most revered compositions for the screen. Among the highlights: the #1 hits â€œDelicado,â€ â€œWhere Is Your Heart (from â€˜Moulin Rougeâ€™),â€ and â€œThe Theme from â€˜A Summer Place;â€™â€ his soundtrack themes to the films Tammy Tell Me True, The Oscar, and The Love Goddesses, and the TV series The Virginian; and some of his signature adaptations of Latin music like â€œHow Insensitive (Insensataez)â€ and â€œBrazil (Aquarela Do Brasil).â€ Joe Marchese provides the notes, and the package includes photos from the Columbia vaults as well as some of the great cover art that adorned Faithâ€™s album releases. Remastered by Maria Triana at Battery Studios in New Yorkâ€¦like the title says, the definitiveâ€”and largest everâ€”Percy Faith collection!
