I'm not an expert on LA, but I have one cd I like very much.
It's the selection of songs, and the warmth, that gets to me. The cd cover shows the man in a baseball cap.
The disk seems to be out of print, but would be easy to find, and here is a link to the Amazon listing, so you can see a lot of opinions on it.

I'm one of these people who first heard "What a Wonderful World" in Good Morning Viet Nam, and that song leads off this cd.
