All teasures are not silver and gold - they are in the golden tones of the deep velvet-voiced, Jimmy Spencer along with the trio to top all others, Karen Hernandez on piano, Lou Shoch on bass and Jack LeCompte on Drums.

He is warm and vibrant in his delivery. He delivers lush ballads, jazz and down-to-earth lament of the blues." Bob's Beat, LA Jazz Scene..."Jimmy sings with a lot of conviction and soul and sure knows how to tell a story.." Pat Taylor, Tolucan Times..."Jimmy's smooth and sensually deep voice reminiscent of Nat King Cole, passionately proves he's still got what it takes." Katherine Tolford, Burbank Leader..."Jimmy Spencer courts his audience with a smooth and gentle phrasing and warm delivery..." Karen Hernandez (pianist)..."Jimmy commands the audience and holds their attention..." Zeitgeist Reviews..."Spencer veers between straight balladeering and jazz arrangements, add a little latin and swing, and is equally adept at all. Sometimes it takes experience to truly live a song, and this CD serves up ample evidence. Wonderful variety and delight." Don Fraser, President, Boxing Hall of Fame..."Jimmy has always been known as The Voice Of The Valley' - his style and charm delight fams of all ages. JA Preston, Actor/Entertainer...
