The King's Singers have compiled a collection featuring some of the world's finest love songs - from classics of the Great American songbook including the Gershwins' 'Love is Here To Stay' and Kern's 'I Won't Dance' through to recent hits such as John Legend's 'All of Me' and Randy Newman's 'When She Loved Me'.

"Among many highlights, Richard Rodney Bennett's exquisite arrangement of Gershwin's 'Love is Here to Stay' stands out, bringing sumptuous harmonies and a rhythmic simplicity that lets the group's almost improbably sense of ensemble shine…Beautifully performed and with an appealing blend of popular hits and more unusual fare, this disc makes for an uplifting listen."
