Elektra / Wea, 1994

ESSENTIAL HOLIDAY COLLECTION FEATURING STUNNING PERFORMANCES AND ARRANGEMENTS.
With so many Christmas music collections available, some on the cheap, it is still sometimes difficult to find a collection that effectively mixes both sacred and secular music, features great singing and musical accompaniment, and sounds fresh and not hackneyed. ...

Smooth & Soulful Christmas, Vol. 1

Al Jarreau, Fourplay, ...

YMC Records, 2006

Emphasis on the Word 'Smooth'
This was another one of my post-Christmas bargains. As the title says, the 12 tracks on this disc are both smooth and soulful--with an emphasis on smooth. Song selections are almost evenly divided between the familiar and the original. The Pointer Sisters start ...

"Natalie Cole - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1"

Natalie Cole

Elektra / Wea, 2000

Natalie rocks
She's just great and any collection of her songs would be off the hook. This one is no exception. Loved it!

Unforgettable: With Love

Natalie Cole

Elektra / Wea, 1991

Perfection
Probably one of the best albums ever made. Astonishingly great production values. A remarkable talent. A must for any music lover.

Magic of Christmas

Leroy Anderson, Sammy Cahn, ...

Roadrunner Records, 1999

A Natalie Cole Christmas
I enjoyed Ms. Cole's CD. I have always listened to her father's CD during the holidays and now I can listen to hers too. It was quite enjoyable.

Natalie Cole's Shining Moments

Ask a Woman Who Knows

Natalie Cole

Umvd Labels, 2002

Like fine wine -- getting better with age!
An old friend emailed me today to say that, at that very moment, her husband was listening to this version of "The Music That Makes Me Dance" --- my favorite performance of an almost forgotten Bob Merrill song. And who was Bob, you ask? Well Merrill wrote musicals ...

Still Unforgettable (Amazon Exclusive Bonus Track)

Natalie Cole

Rhino Records, 2008

Not as good as her first, but "Still Unforgettable"
I purchased "Unforgettable -- With Love" 17 years ago, and it has been one of my favorite albums -- and one which developed my love for old 40's & 50's standards, as well as those that Nat King Cole made famous. With that in mind, I eagerly purchased her "Still ...

The Christmas Album

Wynonna, Johnny Mathis, ...

Interscope Records, 1993

One of my most valued treasures!
Not only is this my favorite CD, but it is one of my most treasured belongings! I LOVE this music collection, which greatly warms my heart at this favorite time of year.

Love Songs

Natalie Cole

Rhino / Wea, 2007

Just what I was looking for...
This is the CD I was looking for...All of them have what I was looking for. My IPOD and I are happy to have them.

Anthology

Natalie Cole

The Right Stuff, 2003

All the hits from Ms. Cole's Capitol Years
Natalie Cole's career on Capitol Records is thoroughly covered on "Anthology." All 16 of her solo R & B chart hits from 1975 to 1981 are here (two duets with Peabo Bryson are on his entry in this series). I thought about a 4-star rating because it seems 16 songs ...

Everlasting

Natalie Cole

Elektra / Wea, 1987

Natalie's best album to me!
I still say that Everlasting is Natalie Cole's best album. It shows her at her highest form long before the Unforgettable mega success and multiple Grammys. I still like the aggressive Jump Start. For starters, it could summarize what she had gone through in her ...

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Original London Cast

Sony, 2005

altogether a fine cast album
CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, the cheerfully-mindless musical by the Sherman Brothers, was mounted for the West End stage in 2002, opened at the London Palladium and enjoyed a run of nearly three and-a-half years (the subsequent Broadway production fared less well). The ...

Baseball: A Film By Ken Burns - Original Soundtrack Recording

Jaqueline Schwab, Harvey Hindermyer, ...

Nonesuch, 1994

For the Baseball lover's heart and soul
This is a simplistically beautiful CD. The cuts range from the joyous to the deeply moving. From Garison Keillor's opening reading of Walt Whitman's thoughts on baseball to the closing quiet of the Star Spangled Banner, the listener is taken on a musical and aural ...

Pavarotti & Friends - For The Children Of Liberia

Pino Paladino, Erick Benzi, ...

Sunset Strategic Marketing (SSM) Decca, 1998

This is a delightful combination of music talents to enjoy!
We first saw Pavarotti and Friends on Public Television as a fundraising event. We found the CD and especially love to listen to this CD in our car which has a great sound system. Each vocalist is so special and you will be singing along with them after a couple of ...
