It's amazing how little Bert Kaempfert's sound changed over the years. In the early '70s, when his easy listening contemporaries had already reached the saccharine realm of Beautiful Music radio, Kaempfert managed to stay contemporary without succumbing to the slick artificiality that characterized so much of the music of his competitors. Perhaps that organic strain is what precipitated his downfall, because 1971 -- the year Orange Colored Sky was released -- was the end of his chart career after years of tapering success. Orange Colored Sky leads off with Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rosie," probably because Kaempfert's version of "Sweet Caroline" was a fair seller the previous year, but otherwise offers originals (half the album is composed by Kaempfert with Herbert Rehbein) and pop oldies such as the title track and an excellent rendition of "(I'll Be With You) In Apple Blossom Time." Some of the arrangements are less inspired than those of Kaempfert's early days, but Orange Colored Sky is a respectable album from this veteran of orchestral pop.
