Jack Gold Orchestra & Chorus - It Hurts to Say Goodbye (1969) [Hi-Res]

It is easy enough to describe the sound of an album strings, horns, rhythm, etc. - but it is more difficult to put your finger on exactly the feel it has. This album is extremely contemporary, which means that it rocks. It has something in addition, however, that has not too often been combined with rock before. It swings. This dual approach is the product of the talent and per- sonality of the artist.
Jack Gold has been a successful songwriter, music publisher and record producer for years. Always keep- ing an ear for that which is new and contemporary, he has been deeply involved in the success of such greats as Ray Conniff, Patty Duke, Percy Faith, Bobby Golds- boro, Jim Nabors, Barbra Streisand and Margaret Whiting. The records and albums that he has produced have sold in the millions.
For the first time, instead of blending his thinking with that of the enormous talents he has worked with before, he is going it alone in his first album.
The result? Take eleven great songs and eight of the country’s finest singers. Blend in magnificent Ernie Freeman arrangements, a score of great musicians and the incomparable Jack Gold touch. From the hit “It Hurts to Say Goodbye” to “Wichita Lineman,” you'll be treated to eleven musical experiences. What more is there to say!

Enjoy. Bil Keane
