When Harry Met Sally... [Music from the Motion Picture] Harry Connick, Jr. Artist

{|Harry Connick, Jr.|}'s vocals perfectly fit the moods throughout the 1989 {|Billy Crystal|} film {|When Harry Met Sally|}. This {|soundtrack|} album (which stands apart from the movie) was a big hit and a major step forward for the young pianist-vocalist, although it appears to have been the high point of his career. {|Connick|} warmly sings such numbers as {|It Had to Be You,|} {|Our Love Is Here to Stay,|} {|But Not for Me,|} and {|Let's Call the Whole Thing Off,|} while usually accompanied by bassist {|Benjamin Wolfe|}, drummer {|Jeff Tain Watts|}, and a {|big band|}. {|Frank Wess|}' warm tenor makes a brief appearance on {|Our Love Is Here to Stay.|} In addition, there are a few melodic instrumentals, including some solo {|Connick|} piano on {|Winter Wonderland|} and {|Autumn in New York.|} Highly recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
