Notes
(2-CD Set) They say that love is a many splendored thing and you could apply that to Avid's latest release in the Essential Collection series. For all you lovers out there we have collected a wonderful selection of classic love songs just in time for Valentines Day. We start with an Avid debut from Elvis Presley singing Love Me Tender. The King is in good company with such great singers as Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Billie Holiday, Tony Bennett and even our very own living legend Vera Lynn! They also say that love comes in many guises, bet you never thought you would live to see Elvis and Vera on the same album, it's a funny old world but that's the power of love for you!
