17 Most Requested Songs

17 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Jerry Vale’s best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including “Have You Looked into Your Heart,” “Mama,” “Old Cape Cod,” “You Don’t Know Me,” “Tears Keep on Falling,” “O Solo Mio,” “The Impossible Dream,” and “Love Is a Many Splendored Thing.” Although it’s far from a perfect retrospective of his career, it’s still a nice sampler of familiar items, and it may satisfy the needs of some casual fans who only want the hits. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
