Perry Como was the most successful artist to emerge from the golden age of popular music, eclipsing even the great Frank Sinatra. His wholesome, nonchalant performance style masked a constant eye for detail. He was ever-present in Australia through his many TV shows and toured here in 1976 with his conductor Nick Perito who updated arrangements for his many classics.

Michael Whittaker reviews Mr C's songbook, assisted by screen presentations and specially commissioned backing tracks, sensitively recreating all your favourites such as Magic Moments, one of Burt Bacharach's very early compositions, Temptation, his big hit of 1946, and the enduring Great American Songbook standard Prisoner of Love. Michael also includes a selection of his many novelty songs heard on every radio in Australia in the 50's, with songs such as Round and Round and the catchy, Catch a Falling Star being perennial favourites. And, no show would be complete without his big hit, It's Impossible, which transformed Mr C from a has-been into an international superstar once again.
