Touch Me Softly


Touch Me Softly is a 1963 album by George Shearing accompanied by his quintet and a string orchestra.

Reception

Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "Best is a touching version of "Sunday, Monday or Always"...Actually, for this type of "dreamy" romantic music, the performances are excellent, but one should not expect much jazz on this out-of-print LP."
