This is one of the best compilation CDs I have ever seen!.......1998-08-29

I really enjoy almost all of the songs on this CD. It is one of the best 60's collection CDs ever. It has a wide variety of songs, almost all of them easily recognizable. All in all, a very worthwile CD for listening to anytime!

Customer Reviews:

Back to an innocent time.......2006-11-12

I was born in the fifties but have always liked the 60's with its changing times. It was the era when i got my first kiss. When holding hands was enough to give me butterflies in my stomach. I look back on those fond memories and the great music that went along with them. I bought this album and every time i play it, i am transported back to a simpler time. Buy this for someone you love or for yourself. Buy it because you need to return from time to time back to an innocent time.

Excellent selection of music is marred.......2006-10-13

Excellent selection of music is marred by short length (42:29) and lack of any information about the music or the artists. The recording date and number of weeks in the top 40 isn't even provided. If a CD is to take up valuable shelf space then it has to be more than this. This is the problem with the entire Chart Toppers series.

It doesn't get much more romantic than this!.......2002-03-24

Another fantastic volume in the "Chart Toppers: Romantic Hits" series. This time around it's the 1960s under the spotlight, and what a wonderful selection of hits appears here. Although "Moon River" was a lovely Henry Mancini instrumental, I'd have liked it better if the record company had used Danny Williams' vocal version instead. Nevermind as both versions are as good as each other. Another main instrumental is the equally beautiful (and romantic) "Theme From A Summer Place" performed by Percy Faith & His Orchestra. I implore you to buy this - or any other CD - which features this track as everyone should own a copy of this outstanding piece of work. Yes, it really is *that* good!

Other highlights include, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" (The Shirelles), "Dedicated To The One I Love" (Mamas & Papas), "Can't Take My Eyes Of You" (Frankie Valli), "Hey Paula" (Paul & Paula), "Let It Be Me" (Betty Everett - didn't Elvis once cover this?) and "Sealed With A Kiss" (Brian Hyland). Two other of my favourite tracks are used to close this compilation: Bobby Vinton's hauntingly beautiful, "Blue Velvet" and Percy Sledge's soul classic, "When A Man Loves A Woman".

There are a couple of *lame* tracks too, it has to be said. Not to worry though, the next track you hear is guaranteed to be a great one! I recommend this, along with "Chart Toppers: Romantic Hits Of The 50s" too.

Customer Reviews:

obviously, pretty good compilation.......2005-06-14

This is ridiculous, one looney doesn't like one song and as a result this compilation has a rating of 1. Time to restore some balance. Nothing wrong with any of these songs, which do reflect the spirit of sixties dance floors, though with a bit more emphasis on early sixties, which is sort of taking the easy way out.

I HATE THE "NAME GAME!" IT IS SHEER TORTURE!.......2000-09-18

I have hated the "Name Game" since I was three. It is very irritating, doesn't make any sense and has nothing to recommend it. I can to this day remember saying at age 3, "That's not a song. That's stupid and bad because those aren't REAL words. I'm glad MY name isn't in it." I can remember running out of a store just to escape the "Name Game." As an adult, I still hate it and feel it is hearing unfriendly. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Jackhammers and construction equipment are beautiful music compared to this atrocious junk. So is the 5:00 train whistle.
