PD.: "For 50 years, James Last's legions of loyal fans adored his joyful big band versions of pop and classical standards. To musical purists, however, he was the epitome of naff. To the detractors, he was "the emperor of elevator music" who made "music for people who don't like music". They said he watered down great compositions until they lost all depth and emotion, rendering everything too simple and similar, and making easy listening just too easy. And the sight of Last's bushy moustache and luxuriant hair on his LP covers - not to mention his white suits and patterned ties - made him an easy target for anyone looking to boost their credibility. But that did not bother him or his fans." |
