I highly recommend "Seven Decades of Hits" to every Eddy Arnold fan, and to anyone else who wants to savor some unique, heartfelt singing by one of the most enduring artists of our time. In what may very well be his last effort, Eddy Arnold, as one of the elder statesmen of music, has combined the maturity of his years with a special "way with a song" that has always been unique to him. He sings from the heart, without pretense, and interprets a song as noone else does. His old hits are only better now. He has also offered us something new, as always. The first song on the album, "To Life", is a very touching presentation of a man grateful for the long and good life he has enjoyed. He is also willing to share the stage, on this album, with some younger stars, who are very talented. If you want to spend an hour warming your heart with some good songs by a great artist, you can'go wrong with "Seven Decades of Hits" by Eddy Arnold.
