From the back cover: The healing of the emotional wounds of war now allow the artist to set a different and lighter mood. Creed Taylor has effectively enhanced these ballads buy using lush strings, the arresting sound of a bass guitar, a full chorus and the uniquely original arrangements of Maury Laws.

The album features solos by Lynn Roberts. Lynn, who sang with The Dorsey Brother's Orchestra for four and a half years, has recently been seen all over the country with her sparkling-new and exciting nightclub act. In this album, she adds just the right touch of the girl that every boy left at home.

Although we don't always remember all the words, the melodies are familiar to all of us, as is the longing of which they were born.

These are the sad songs of yesterday presented in the optimistic and exciting mood of today. – Vickie Dale
