I love Herb Alpert, my Dad was a massive fan. I always remember this album which he had in his collection. I'm not sure why though?

^ His acting stints were weird, but he was one of the best songwriters of his time. |

I like Paul Williams too. I picked up one of his albums recently from a charity shop for the bargain price of £1. I seem to recall he was in the movie Smokey & the Bandit, or was it The Cannonball Run? I know he was in one of those road comedies anyway.

It's funny you should mention Burt Bacharach and the Carpenters as they're two of my favourite Easy Listening artists. Burt Bacharach & Hal David Tribute at The White House The Carpenters live at the Grand Gala du Disque, Amsterdam, The Netherlands • February 1974 • TopPop |

I guess you could listen to "Tears" by Rush if you wanted some mellow and soothing music.

Not a fan, yeah. I guess if I want to listen to mellow, more soothing music, I have options that don't include what is described in your first post as easy listening but to each their own.

The green face and Elevator Music description tells me you don't like it.

To be honest, I'm happy to do without most of this sort of stuff but it has its place.

If you want to relax and unwind to the sound of some cool Easy Listening music, you've come to the right place. "Easy listening", (sometimes known as mood music) is a popular music genre and radio format that was most popular during the 1950s to 1970s.[5] It is related to middle-of-the-road (MOR) music and encompasses instrumental recordings of standards, hit songs, non-rock vocals and instrumental covers of selected popular rock songs. It mostly concentrates on music that pre-dates the rock n' roll era, characteristically on music from the 1940s and 1950s. Easy listening music is often confused with elevator music ("Muzak"), or lounge music, but while it was popular in some of the same venues it was meant to be listened to for enjoyment rather than as background sound." - Wikipedia This song by Matt Monro from The Italian Job movie has always been one of my favourites.....
