Description

|
|
|
Holding your own on the pop charts against the Beatles was daunting, but Davis handled it with aplomb on this 1964 LP. With songs both wistful and hip, his set list included "If I Loved You," "The Party's Over," "Some Days Everything Goes Wrong," "I Married an Angel," "That's for Me," and "Guys and Dolls." "The success of the long-player was undoubtedly boosted by the title composition, which made it into the Top 20 (number 17). The unusual Polynesian flavor, emphatic syncopated melody, and modern interpretation—including an electric rhythm guitar—are perfectly suited to Davis' commanding vocals."—All Music Guide "As an African-American, he broke down racial restrictions while simultaneously challenging assumptions about what a black performer should be."—Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians
