The album's one
of Jackie Gleason's finest – and a perfect demonstration
of the lush, romantic backings that he did so well for Capitol during the decade – an approach that was very much in direct contrast to Gleason's pyrotechnic personality in TV comedies, but which was a surprisingly good fit for the late nite, booze-heavy antics
of Jackie in real life. There's a sense
of loss and longing here that few other arrangers at the time could duplicate – and while the album's clearly poised to be a tool in the act
of seduction, it's got an emotional depth that might actually have your potential conquest running home with memories
of sadness past flooding her mind – not actually
coming across with the goods! Titles include "You're My Greatest Love", "It's The Talk
Of The Town", "She's Funny That Way", "Coquette", "Did I Remember", "Dancing In The Dark", and "You & The Night & The Music".
