Others shortlisted that year were;

Breakfast at Tiffiny's - Henry Mancini
Genius + Soul = Jazz - Ray Charles
Great Band with Great Voices - Si Zentner
The Nat King Cole Story - Nat King Cole
West Side Story - John Green

I think that the obvious choice here should have been Ray Charles. Nothing against Judy but the Ray Charles album is so much better

Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel

A Tramp Shining - Richard Harris

Untypically, a decent selection. I would have probably plumped for Bookends but Feliciano! gives it a run for its money
