This review is from: Till/Near You (Audio CD) For the first time on one CD, two Roger Williams albums in their original form. Williams is the greatest selling popular pianist in history, with 38 Billboard charted albums--18 of them gold or platinum.

"Till" and "Near You" were both Billboard hit singles which were a follow-up to Williams' mammoth hit of "Autumn Leaves." The wonderful bonuses are all the great Williams arrangements and performances, never before on CD, on such classics as "Catch A Falling Star," "Volare," "Deep Purple," and "St. Louis Blues."

Nobody caresses and finesses a song like Roger Williams. What's amazing is that Williams actually plays the words on these instrumentals.

These two albums are testament to Williams 60 year career, which is going stronger than ever as he tours the world on the eve of his 80th birthday this October.
