I bought this CD for my lovely Mum who couldnt get her tape version to play. We put it onto play whilst we were making mincepies for christmas and the time flew by with both of us singing our heads off. Beautiful album and just as Harry should be remembered. An amazing tenor and beautiful singer. I can highly recommend this album to anyone who likes Harry. If you play it in the car, make sure the windows are shut because you''l be singing your little head off at the top of your voice in no time.
Bought this CD for my mum , loves all the songs on this CD. Thank you .

During my childhood I was brought up with Harry Secombe being dubbed as "The Second Mario Lanza". Being the owner of all Secombe's LP's, some of the recordings do not justify his voice timbre, let alone the fabulous orchestrations by Wally Stott. On this CD, all comes forth to the listener and one cannot help but realise that this tenor, compared to the fuss made to modern opera singers, was truly and justifiably an opera singer who, in my opinion, should be classified as one, if not, the best of Singers. He possessed high register notes which are breathtaking listening to. I recommend Opera lovers and the like, to listen to this CD and be prepared to refresh and reclassify their "World Best Tenors" database. Although he gained popularity by means of being a clown, his singing talents came out and surfaced just the same, thanks to his recordings. I would also like to point out to the listener to follow carefully to the musical backings made by Wally stott, who, in my opinion merits full marks credit to her arrangements. Happy listening.

This is a wonderful from the much missed comedian singer, Sir Harry was not only one of the greatest british comedians colaborating with Spike Milligan, and Peter Sellers to form the Goons But had an Opera quality singing voice and this CD is a Showcase of that voice. It is a wonderfull adition to my CD collection and must do the same for anyone else, who is interested in this type of music. It is Sir Harry at his best
This CD meets with it's title, "The very best" and it truly is the best. This has Harry's signature song "If I ruled the world" and many other upbeat songs as-well as having his best operatic pieces and hymns that made Sir Harry who he was. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Harry or people just curious as to hear that great bold 'Bel canto tenor' voice.
Harry Secombe has a wonderful, rich, unpretentious tenor voice. I used to have all his records and some tapes and I am now getting rid of records and tapes so need to replace with CDs. Sadly not all of his records are on CD. This is an excellent CD to listen to.
