Liner Notes: A World of Romance Shawn Rae All songs Arranged by Arranger/Producer Charles Calello. Mr. Calello has had more hit records (over 100 songs on the Billboard Charts) and worked with more recording artists than probably any other Arranger in the Music Industry (his many credits include over 25 Top Ten Hits of which 15 have been nominated for Grammy Awards). He has Arranged and/or Produced music, for example, for such well known personages as Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, Kenny Rogers, Bruce Springsteen, Frankie Valli, The Four Seasons, Natalie Cole, B.B. King, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross, Liza Minnelli, Randi Travis, Michael Bolton, Michael McDonald, Vince Gil, Patti Page and Juice Newton, etc. To describe Shawn Rae, the person and the performer, Calello uses such words as “charismatic, bright, innovative, courageous and certainly in a class by himself.” He describes Shawn’s voice as “having rich lustrous and euphonious qualities, incredible range and depth, giving the songs that Shawn chooses a sensual and romantic quality.” About his unique style of vocal interpretation and ability to convey emotion, Calello marvels at “Shawn’s ability to paint a vocal picture that imparts a story in the listener’s mind rather than just a song – distinctive, yet, reminiscent of other greats,” that Charles has been privileged to work with.
