by Don Grigware - Aug 11, 2010


Singer/musician extraordinaire Corky Hale plays a heavenly harp and also sings and plays piano along with guest artists Sally Kellerman ('Ive Got a Crush on You'), Freda Payne (a divine 'Alfie'), Tricia Tahara ('My Romance'), Ariana Savalas, and Brenna Whitaker on Corky Hale and friends...I'm Glad There Is You. Hale sounds like a young Ella Fitzgerald ('The More I See You') and all six women work magically on some truly great standards. OK, it's mellow... it's oh so pretty...it's easy listening... it's one terrific album!
