Jonathan King - Everybodys Gone To The Moon

Review by Deborah Ballard-Reisch

Jonathan King's album "Everybody's Gone to the Moon" is a classic piece of British pop history. Released in 1965, it features the title track, which became a massive hit in the UK and the US. The album showcases King's talent as a songwriter and producer, with catchy melodies and clever lyrics that capture the spirit of the era.

The album starts with the upbeat "Round Round," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. King's vocals are smooth and confident, and the instrumentation is tight and energetic. The title track, "Everybody's Gone to the Moon," is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the sense of alienation and loneliness that many people were feeling in the 1960s.

Other standout tracks include "I'll Give You My Love," a sweet and romantic ballad, and "Summer's Coming," a fun and upbeat song that captures the excitement of the season. King's production skills are also on display throughout the album, with layered harmonies, inventive arrangements, and a variety of instruments that add depth and texture to the songs.

"Everybody's Gone to the Moon" is a must-listen for fans of 1960s pop music. Jonathan King's talent as a songwriter and producer shines through on every track, and the album captures the spirit of the era in a way that few other albums do. It's a classic that deserves a place in any music lover's collection.
