Blue Midnight

Bert Kaempfert fans will be delighted that the album BLUE MIDNIGHT is now available on CD to further their collection. This recording (with the works in a slightly different order) was released on 2 November 1964 in the USA, landed in the charts on 23 January 1965 and soon climbed to number 5. When released as singles, Red Roses For A Blue Lady reached number 3 and Three O'Clock In The Morning number 10. Bert Kaempfert's composition L.O.V.E., which in its vocal version was to be Nat "King" Cole's legendary final hit, became one of his greatest international successes and has long achieved "evergreen" status.

Old favorites and brilliant own compositions were subject to Bert Kaempfert's genial orchestration for this album. The trumpet solos, performed by Manfred Moch, have long become a hallmark of Kaempfert's unique sound.

Relax and enjoy the album BLUE MIDNIGHT and the four gems which have been added to this CD as a bonus: Take Seven, recorded in 1966 (which in its present version was only released on the LP HOLD ME), and Gemma, The Bass Walks and Love After Midnight (from the German film "90 Minuten nach Mitternacht") - three often wished-for numbers from the LP LET'S GO BOWLING recorded in 1964.

Bert Kaempfert's circle of fans is sure to increase considerably with this CD, for who can fail to be spellbound by his timeless sound which imparts a real feeling of the Good Life!
