Caterina Valente- Greatest Hits

DSCN3700This was 80 cents. I liked most of the songs on the album so I figured I would give it a try.valentCaterina Valente is a Italian singer/entertainer who was born in Paris, France in 1931.  Born into a family of entertainers, she became a popular singer of Schlager tunes (look it up for yourself).  She would become an International star with records, television appearances. and even movie spots.  She would also star in a short lived variety show on CBS with Carol Burnett and Bob Newhart.  She is still alive as of this writing.dean-caterina-valente-kingofcoolCaterina’s Translated Webpage

This album is a greatest hits collection from her work with Werner Muller and his Orchestra.  Right off, this album has a lot of entertainment value.  The songs are well arranged and orchestrated. It has that pizazz that was missing from yesterday’s album.  The vocals are fabulous as well. She sings in a great range as well as in a couple different languages on these.  This makes for a very good collection.  My highlights include “Malaguena”, “La Paloma”, “The Peanut Vendor”, “La Golondrina”, and the two songs that I selected as samples.DSCN3701

Those samples are “The Breeze and I” and ‘More”.2514476402
