Overview
In 1967, Conniff had a minor hit single, Cabaret, (No. 129 US), and after it he recorded an album filled with 1966 and 1967 hit songs. The album peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Top LPs, and stayed on the chart for 46 weeks.[2]
Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine on AllMusic said that the album is "a good but unexceptional collection that combines some of Ray Conniff's biggest hits with his versions of '60s pop hits." and that "it's an entertaining sampler, featuring nice versions of "Mame," "Sunrise, Sunset," "Cabaret," "Strangers in the Night," "What Now My Love," "Winchester Cathedral," "Georgy Girl," "Born Free" and the title track."[3]
