From the back cover: In this exciting collection Buddy functions as a triple threat: singer, composer and organist. His fresh, uninhibited singing style is, of course, evident on all the numbers, but on Hallelujah I Love Her So, he augments the orchestra with his own organ playing. The rhythmic tune "You're Something Else is a Greco original.

Buddy Greco's career is one of solid achievement. At fourteen he was pianist in a band that included Charlie Ventura and Bill Harris. From 1949 to 1951 he toured as Benny Goodman's pianist, singer and arranger. He has since became one of the country's top nightclub attractions, and there has been a considerable charge in the Greco nightclub style since his first began entertaining. Initially, he performed as small clubs such as Chicago's Le Bistro, where he would sing in an intimate style while seated at the piano. Recently, he has played the big room, such as the Sands in Las Vegas and the Copa in New York, backed by a big band; he now stands at the microphone and belts his numbers in rousing fashion.

In the words of one of Buddy's biggest fans, Sammy Davis, Jr., "Buddy has a great love for what he is doing. He has honesty in his performing, and taste. No matter what the mood, no matter what the tone or the picture that a song is supposed to create, Buddy achieves it."
