| | Ray Conniff Dance The Bop/En Espanol CD Ray Conniff Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
The only thing these mismatched albums have in common is the exclamation points in their titles. Dance the Bop! is Ray Conniff's "rock & roll" album from 1957, and it is unique among his many LPs in that he wrote or co-wrote every song. The album really does rock in places, and when the chorus joins in on numbers like "Play a Guitar Solo," the results are downright surreal. This is the most collectable of Conniff's albums and a welcome reissue. Conniff went to Mexico to make En Español!, which features Spanish-language versions of songs he recorded in English on earlier albums, including his hit "Invisible Tears." It's an interesting exercise but a peculiar counterpart to Dance the Bop! ~ Greg Adams

Dance The Bop/En Espanol
 $10.55   
A good matchup of two similar and consecutive LP releases is offered on this discount-priced two-fer. It Must Be Him and Honey were Ray Conniff's first two albums of 1968, and they were among his more successful, each enjoying a long chart run and earning gold record certification. Conniff had updated his arranging style by this point, adapting himself to the rock revolution by bringing in electric guitars and beefing up the sound of the rhythm section, but he hadn't changed his basic approach. All 22 tracks here are his versions of songs that were in the pop charts between 1964 and 1968, originally recorded by the likes of British Invasion acts like the Beatles and Herman's Hermits as well as a slew of middle-of-the-road pop singers. Some of the songs, notably ...
