This is a vanity release that one imagines singer Gillian Palette and her father, tenor saxophonist Frank Palette, put out for their fans in New York. Unfortunately, there are many things wrong with this CD. The backup group, "the Jazz Squad," has keyboards that are so bland, unimaginative, and dominant that they sound as if they are played by a machine rather than a human. The guitar, bass, and drums are each quite lifeless, while the arrangements and moderately funky rhythms are monotonous. 

Frank Palette's tenor playing is sincere, but he slips in and out of tune in random spots. As for Gillian Palette, she has not lived the words she sings (has she thought about the message behind the lyrics?) and her voice, while pleasant, adds nothing to the legacy of these famous songs. She also has difficulty with some of the melodies. A tedious "I Remember You" might be the low point, but it has competition. Everyone involved is capable of doing better. ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/this-love-of-mine-mw0000356581

This album consists solely of love songs that encapsulate romance in one way or other. I'm sure at least one of them will touch you deeply in a way you have felt once before, or a way you may feel in the future. There will alway be those special people you've have crossed paths with, or maybe you're still with them. Either way our songs tell stories. They are interludes of the heart. Through them, we learn that we are all bonded together regardless of age, through song. All the music on this album was written by my Dad Frank. He also wrote the lyrics on tracks 8,9,10,11. Shannon Shor a wonderful lyricist wrote the lyrics to tracks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,12. I would like to say a special " Hello " to the wonderful people at the hospital where I work as an oncology nurse. People and families I hold dear to my heart, and will forever. This album is decicated to Becky and Aaron. https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/palette2
