From the back cover: Life magazine, in a recent article on him, called Rod McKuen "the hottest-selling author in the nation." McKuen – poet, actor, composer, singer – is almost single-handedly changing the traditional notion that poetry does not sell. His volumes of verse, Stanyan Street and Other Sorrows and Listen to the Warm, are enjoying a success equal to if not surpassing the country's fiction bestsellers.

Rod McKuen's popularity is unprecedented. His books, his many recordings, his nightclub and concert appearances vie for his precious time with the demand for his music for TV specials, like John Steinbeck's Travels With Charlie And Princess Grace On Monaco, and English lyrics for such composers as Brel and Bécuad

Most important, however, Rod McKuen's is a success without compromise. It's evident in everything he does. Discover it in this extraordinary album.
