This giveaway has ended. Congrats to Jennifer Stewart the winner:-)
Don’t you just love Harry Connick Jr.?? Or is it just me? I remember when he married that Victoria’s Secret model, my dreams were shattered. I guess he didn’t get the memo that he was supposed to marry me! ha! Okay, so when I found out I was getting to review his new album, Your Songs, I got just a bit excited:-)
Let me tell you about the album, then you’ll have a chance to win one of your own!
Basically, it’s Harry’s smooth, jazzy vocals and a wonderful big band and string orchestra performing classic hits. You might have seen him on Oprah last week. If you catch the View today, he’ll be on!
It’s a very mellow album and great music for a party or just singing along with the kids. I can’t get “The Way You Look Tonight” and “Close to You” out of my head now.
This behind the scene look at ‘Making of’ the album will give you a sample of the songs. You can also become a Harry Connick Jr. fan on Facebook.

All The Way (Frank Sinatra)

Oh my goodness. I was devastated when he went from big band to funk – I had dreams of playing in his band! My favorite song of his is and ever will be Just Kiss Me, though there are countless that would fight for second place.
I just watched Harry on Oprah and fell even more in love with the guy- he was so sweet and genuine and talking about his relationship with his wife and kids. I love ’em all, but especially Just The Way You Are.
