''Right Now!'' is a 1966 studio album by Mel Tormé. Columbia followed up Tormé's 1965 album of standards with "an obvious bid to sell records by putting Tormé's voice on pre-sold hits of the mid-'60s." 〔Will Friedwald's liner notes from the 1997 CD reissue of Right Now!〕 "The Velvet Fog's" descent on contemporary middle-of-the-road top-40 melodies from Paul Simon and the Bacharach-David catalogue leads some to emphasize the commercialism of the project and file this period of Tormé's career in the lounge music section of records stores, as evidenced by his appearances on compilations like the Ultra Lounge series. However, music critic Will Friedwald makes a strong case that the work of Tormé and arranger Mort Garson elevated the project above "an album of straight "covers"."〔Will Friedwald's liner notes from the 1997 CD reissue of Right Now!〕 In 1997, Right Now! was treated to a CD reissue, with previously unreleased bonus tracks and liners notes. ==Track listing== #"Comin' Home Baby" (Bob Dorough, Ben Tucker) – 3:21 #"Homeward Bound" (Paul Simon) – 2:33 #"My Little Red Book" (Burt Bacharach, Hal David) – 2:40 #"Walk on By" (Bacharach, David) – 2:56 #"If I Had a Hammer" (Lee Hays, Pete Seeger) – 3:05 #"Strangers in the Night" (Bert Kaempfert, Charles Singleton, Eddie Snyder) – 2:41 #"Better Use Your Head" (Vargus Pike, Teddy Randazzo) – 2:52 #"Time" (Michael Merchant) – 3:40 #"Secret Agent Man" (Steve Barri, Sloan) – 2:35 #"Pretty Flamingo" (Mark Barkan) – 2:27 #"Red Rubber Ball" (Simon, Bruce Woodley) – 2:36 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Right Now!
