David McCallum: Music
-A Part Of Me (1966)-
McCallum covers the gamut from Len Barry’s 1-2-3, to the Stone’s “Satisfaction” and Ramsey Lewis’ “The ‘In Crowd”’ with a wall of symphonic sound that is more of a Concert Band sound than an Orchestral one omitting the string section but retaining the orchestral brass. As with the tunes of the era, where 45-rpm records dictated song length, most of the 24 tunes on this record are short… but that isn’t a fault. This is a fun album which makes old men remember when Pet Clark was a youngish mid-30’s sex-pot to the teen-aged men of the era… strange? You had to be there. Four stars
