Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Plenty of cheese on these nachos.......2003-04-06

After taking a chance on Rosemary Clooney with the beautiful "Blue Rose", I decided to get another album of hers. Getting a jazz like one, I figured would not really enlightened me on all the styles she covered. Serious jazz listeners will probably dismiss this album. But if you're in the mood for fun, putting this on the turntable or stereo would be a good choice.
My favorite song is not "Corazan de Melon", the most known from this LP. It's Sway. Clooney's voice sounds remarkably youthful on it. It feels like Perez Prado, the arranger and Rosemary Clooney were having a good time making this as well. I give it the album on a whole 4/5 because of "Mack the Knife" and "I only have eyes for you". I don't think the arrangements work for those numbers. But then that's just my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars ROSEMARY CLOONEY/PEREZ PRADO "A TOUCH OF TABASCO".......2002-05-28

In 1959, Rosemary Clooney joined the illustrious roster of singers who recorded with Cuban Mambo King and creator Perez Prado & His Band (Beny More, Myrtha Silva, Daniel Santos, Los Rivero, Hermanas Montoya, Hermanas Gaona, Tony Camargo, Kiko Mendive, Abel del Rivero, etc.)
At the time RCA Victor released two hit combination Lp, one was Abbie Lane with Tito Puente & His Orchestra and Rosemary Clooney with Perez Prado & His Orchestra, the album title they picked for the latter was "A Touch Of Tabasco". Unfortunately some 20+ years ago this album was discontinued and leftover copies were very hard or impossible to find. With the emerging of the internet some folks who owned copies asked for large sums of money for their copies. Luckily one day about two years ago, I found that this album had been converted from analog to digital and therefore CD by Japan's BMG/RCA, which explained its total absence from North American music markets. At long last this album has come back to us but in limited quantities. You will greatly enjoy listening to this classic as Rosemary sings old favorites backed by Perez Prado's phenomenal Mambo Jazz Band,like "Corazon De Melon", "Like A Woman", "I Only Have Eyes For You", "Magic Is The Moonlight"aka "Te Quiero Dijiste", "In A Little Spanish Town",
"Mack The Knife"aka "Moritat", "Bali Hai","You Do Something To Me","Cu-Cu-Rru-Cu-Cu Paloma","I Got Plenty O'Nuttin", "Sway"aka Quien Sera" and "Adios". Rosemary Clooney and Perez Prado should've been recorded extensively but unfortunately were not so this is the only recorded musical jewel of the time when they joined their superb talents at the recording studio.
This album is definitely an important collector's item, to add even more value to its collectability the album liners were written by the late Hollywood movie star Jose Ferrer. I strongly recommend you buy it while supplies last.
