17 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Jerry Vale's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including Have You Looked into Your Heart, Mama, Old Cape Cod, You Don't Know Me, Tears Keep on Falling, O Solo Mio, The Impossible Dream, and Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. Although it's far from a perfect retrospective of his career, it's still a nice sampler of familiar items, and it may satisfy the needs of some casual fans who only want the hits.
