CD Reissue LINER NOTES
by Kenneth Kendall:
CD Compilation by Tim
Rogers.
Special Note: Lesley Gore credited Claus Ogerman directly for his work with her in an interview with Gary James when he asked the following question:
Q - I loved the sound
of your records. Is that
all Quincy Jones, or did you have a big input into that?
A - I think it was
really a triumvirate of
creative people...Quincy being kind of the head guy, the guy at the
top of the pyramid. Then, perhaps myself down at the lower left
corner, and there was a third guy who was very, very prominent in
helping us get that sound and he was the arranger, Klaus Ogerman. So,
the way we worked it, Klaus and I spent a lot of time together going
through material. We would take what we thought was the best of the
crop and kind of put it into my range and do a kind of piano / voice
arrangement. Then, we would bring Quincy in and go over it again and
see how we felt about those tunes. So, Klaus did a lot of arranging
because of my voice and because of where the range was. So, it really
was a melding of 3 creative people.
