The album was one of the to witness Rich step away from the drums to take on his less familiar but still notably skilled roll as vocalist, with The Voice Is Rich (1959) going even further into unmarked territory, with drums now completely abandoned and orchestral backing replacing his more typical jazz group. In 1966, Rich formed The Buddy Rich Big Band, achieving great success in an era where groups of said format were suffering a sharp decline in popularity. Their first album, Swingin' New Big Band (1966), contained a superb interpretation of the music from the 1957 musical West Side Story, which quickly became one of their signature pieces. In addition, some of their finest achievements included supporting legendary singer and performer Sammy Davis, Jr. On The Sounds Of '66 and the 1969 album Mercy, Mercy, recorded at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, that would later be considered as one of the group's greatest live recordings. Although officially disbanding in 1974, The Buddy Rich Big Band would continue to reunite and perform irregularly for the rest of Rich's career. Despite his age, Rich's drumming ability astonishingly did not lose any of it's pace or power towards the end of his career. The 1980s also saw the emergence of a series of infamous bootleg recordings known as The Bus Tapes, a collection of rants and tantrums secretly documented by pianist Lee Musiker. Rich's short temper was almost as famous as his musical ability, and had resulted in him reportedly being slapped by Dusty Springfield and his threatening to fire trombonist Dave Panichi for wearing a beard. Despite this, composer, singer, producer and lifelong friend David Lucas insisted that \"Rich had a soft heart underneath it all. His favourite song was 'It's Not Easy Being Green'.\" Sadly, Buddy Rich passed away due to complications from surgery to remove a brain tumour on 2nd April, 1987, aged 69.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCathy 3:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetween the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea 4:02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's All Right with Me 2:25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver the Rainbow 4:14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Took Advantage of Me 3:38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan't We Be Friends 3:24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Only a Paper Moon 2:46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMelancholy Baby 2:59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheek to Cheek 4:57 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) 3:00 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Hadn't Anyone Till You 3:34 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Old Feeling 1:42 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 9:06 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Were a Bell (Horns Out) 7:50 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn a Prescribed Manner 5:36 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cinch 6:20 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Wanna Be Kissed 6:25 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEv'ry Day 5:15 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Delight 2:37 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLover, Come Back to Me 6:23 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopsy 8:13 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndecided 9:28 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadway 8:12 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJumpin' at the Woodside 10:11 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSing, Sing, Sing (With a Swing) 4:12 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Casbah 4:30 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleep 3:21 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigure Eights 4:33 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYesterdays 5:44 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Foot 5:03 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimehouse Blues 3:57 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye 3:57 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndiana (Back Home Again in Indiana) 3:25 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichcraft 3:14 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweets Tooth 4:10 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClap Hands!
