Columbia/Legacy’s Love Me the Way I Love You is an attempt to compile 12 of the most romantic ballads Jerry Vale recorded for Columbia Records during the ’50s and ’60s. Vale had a hand in selecting the tracks, and he wisely decided to balance hits like “Innamorata (Sweetheart)” with popular favorites, covers and little-known gems. The result is a first-rate collection that sounds comfortably familiar for casual listeners while still offering surprises that will satisfy diehard fans. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
