5 out of 5 stars Jean Carne love.......2006-08-08

I actually still have the original vinyl album of hers with FREE LOVE and IF YOU WANNA GO BACK. As an ex-DJ of the disco era, I must admit I felt solitary in enjoying her music at the local nightclubs. For some reason the audience never responded to her sultry tones quite as well as Donna Summer, Patti Labelle, or even Diana Ross. I usually ended up playing her tunes either in the early off hours or when the crowd was distracted by other things. She never bacame mainstream disco in any of my music line up. Pity, cause she's sensational. Incidently, the 6:31 version of Was That All It Was can be found on Grand 12 Inches V.2 [IMPORT] also in Amazon.Com

4 out of 5 stars Jean Carne..........2005-07-26

I've always enjoyed her music. This disk is a decent collection of her songs. I recommend it to the Jean Carne fans.

5 out of 5 stars Close to my heart; Together Once Again.......2005-06-30


I purchase this album mainly because "Together Once Again". This enchanting song is so desperate, so low, so sad, yet so beautiful. It is a perfect song to mourn a lost love, I know, because I listen to this song again and again after my last relationship didn't work out.

However, I supremely found there are more masterpieces in the album of Miss Jean. "If You Don't Know Me by Now" does serve its reputation, it is beautiful. "Closer than Close" is a nice R&B ballad. "There's a Shortage of Good Men" is a cute and powerful dance piece. I recommend this album for its diversity, and the masterpieces in it.

5 out of 5 stars A "sweet and wonderful"yet terribly underrated singer..........2003-06-12

Jean Carne is one of the best R&B divas ever but she is also very underrated. She is blessed with a truly melodious and beautiful voice and deserves much more attention,respect and recognition. Check out her stunning remake of the Spinners' hit "Love Don't Love Nobody" as well as "Free Love","When I Find You Love","Closer Than Close" and "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" for confirmation of her enormous talent.

5 out of 5 stars If you don't know her by now -- ask somebody!.......2001-12-26

That this collection omits recorded music's definitive version of the jazz
standard "Dindi" is one good reason to not buy this CD. But there are 16
excellent reasons why devotees of good music as well as folk who just don't
know Jean Carne -- but ought to -- should buy this compilation.

A magna cum laude graduate of The Phyllis Hyman School of Unappreciated
Mega-Talent, Jean Carne is responsible for some of the tightest, vocally
unmatched recordings and live performances in music history. Unfortunately,
her popularity lags way behind her talent.

So here is an opportunity to own or discover old-school gems such as the
danceable "Free Love," "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" and "Was That All It
Was?"

Thankfully, the compilers had the good sense to include "Valentine Love," her
duet with Michael Henderson.

And to fulfill your quiet-storm needs, check out:

-- her covers of "Love Don't Love Nobody" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now";

-- her sweet and jazzy offerings of "When I Find You Love" and "Completeness"
(hauntingly):

-- and the powerful, Grover Washington Jr.-produced power
ballads "Closer Than Close" ( No. 1 single) and -- not to even try to take anything from The
Queen, but talk about your dueling divas -- "Ain't No Way."

"Ain't No Way," incidentally, is track number 16 and reason number 16 to buy
this CD.
