A companion to the fabulous PBS series, the 21-song, 77-minute The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" provides about as good a single-disc compilation as anyone could hope for. (There's also a five-CD version.) What sets it apart from so many other "best of Broadway" collections is its breadth--because it had access to a variety of record-label vaults it doesn't have to try to disguise gaps by using revivals or solo recordings. Here you get all the authentic stuff, including: Paul Robeson singing "Ol' Man River" from the first modern American musical, Show Boat; Ethel Merman singing "You're the Top"; the title song from Oklahoma!; Julie Andrews singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady; West Side Story's "America"; Betty Buckley singing "Memory" from Cats; Hairspray's "Good Morning Baltimore"; and "Defying Gravity" from Wicked, the newest show discussed in the PBS series. And it's hard to argue with the songwriters represented: Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Frank Loesser, Lerner and Loewe, Leonard Bernstein, Bock and Harnick, Kander and Ebb, Stephen Sondheim, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, among others. Obviously, no single-disc compilation could ever please everyone (did we really need two ALW songs?), but as a sampler intended for people who watched the series and want to hear more of the Great White Way, The Best of "Broadway: The American Musical" can't be topped. --David Horiuchi

4 out of 5 stars Some interesting choices, indeed.......2006-03-02

This is a pretty good compilation, but I have to wonder at some of the choices that went into it.
"Good Morning Baltimore" is almost the least impressive song from Hairspray. "You Can't Stop the Beat" was a much more anthemic song from that show.
I agree that it's too bad Les Mis didn't make it in. I would have traded that for anything Sondheim, although that's a personal preference :) .
Still, the opportunity to hear the original performers and orchestras perform these works, all in one place, is a great deal.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2005-11-01

This one plays in the car, on the ipod and in the house. When the kids were little they would ask if we could take them to "The Street". That is what they called Broadway (little did they know at that time how famous that street is). They still love it and we can not get enough of it. This CD covers the best and makes you want to go and see a live performance. You can not beat that.

4 out of 5 stars Great selections, but bad transfers.......2005-07-27

This is a great taste of broadway. If you enjoyed the B'Way series at all, then you will probably enjoy this CD. My problem with it is that some of the songs sound like they were not remastered at all- the transfer to CD is terrible. The orchestrations in "You're the top" by Ethel Merman are muffled, and the song sounds like it was taken straight from an old record and slapped onto the CD without fixing it up. It doesn't sound very clear, which is a bit upsetting and annoying. Maybe this is just because that particular recording is older than some of the songs chosen to be on this CD. The more modern songs sound crisp and new and beautiful. "Swanee" is also very low quality as if it were just taken off of a record and put on the CD without any restoration. I just feel that these songs deserved better treatment and that we as customers deserve better treatment. Decca could have restored these songs and made them sound really good, but they decided just to slap them on the CD without touching them up.

I am surprised that nothing was chosen to be on this recording from Les Miserables since it had been on Broadway for 16 years and its tour is running until 2006. There were selections from Cats, Phantom of the Opera and Wicked, so I am not sure why nothing was chosen from Les Miserables.

Other than these few nit pickings, I think that this is a great introduction to musicals. It gives a little taste across the spectrum. Try getting the cast recordings of the songs that you really like on this collection. It's worth buying if you're a huge broadway fan.

5 out of 5 stars Yes this is Some of the Best of Broadway!.......2005-04-08

This CD from Decca Broadway is a wonderful selection of some of

the "Greatest Hits" of the Broadway stage. Decca and Sony have

done an excellent job of remastering the various recordings, some

of which still show some of their age, but come across quite

well. Are there a lot of songs that I would have put on this

disc? Yes, but the ones on here are good choices. I may have to

get a copy of the Five disc set and the DVD's just to see if any

more of my favorites made it on the list. What this disc seems to

try to do is show the evolution of the Broadway song from it's

early days to the present. It succeeds quite well I think.

If you enjoy Broadway theater this CD is a must!

5 out of 5 stars The music of Broadway comes alive.......2004-10-07

I loved listening to this CD. The music from Broadway's best loved musicals are on this album. I recogized most of these songs, even though I've only seen a few of them on the local stage. I have so many favorites on this CD. It is hard to pick one. I'm a big fan of Barbara Streisand. I loved her performance of People from Funny Girl. Memory is the hit song from the musical Cats. Betty Buckley's performance of this song is so emotional and sincere.

I loved the song Annie. It is a wonderfully optimistic song performed by the original Annie Andrea McArdle. Another highlight for me is the song One performed by the cast of a Chorus Line. Luck Be A Lady Tonight is another of my favorite broadway songs on this CD from Guys and Dolls. The music of the night is a beautiful song by Michael Crawford from Phantom of the Opera. Richard Kiley has such a strong and powerful voice. He sounds so inspirational singing The Impossible Dream from Man from La Mancha. My dream is to see some musicals on Broadway someday and listen to these songs performed live.

I'm surprised that there isn't any music from Miss Saigon or Jesus Christ Superstar included here. I think they are classic musicals with great songs Maybe they will appear on a future compilation from PBS.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

    3 out of 5 stars The Last Pair of Albums By Diana Ross And The Supremes.......2005-06-08

    Diana Ross And The Supremes Let The Sunshine In album was released in mid 1969. It had originally been titled No Matter What Sign You Are and posters promoting the album were sent to record stores with that title. For some reason it was hastily re-titled Let The Sunshine In and advertising promotion for the album changed accordingly.

    Tamla Motown Records always had a conveyor belt way of recording tracks by Diana Ross and the Supremes (and indeed other Motown artists). Diana Ross and the Supremes had several singles released between 1968-69 and a host of albums including Reflections (1968), Love Child (1968), Diana Ross and the Supremes Join The Temptations (1968), Diana Ross and the Supremes Live At London's Talk Of The Town (1968) to name but a few. Diana Ross and the Supremes had recorded so much material that still remians untouched to this day but what was considered by Motown to be the best of the bunch were dusted off from the vaults and assembled for the Let The Sunshine In (1969) LP.

    Let The Sunshine In (1969) opens with a song written and produced by the genius Smokey Robinson. Titled The Composer it all the more surprisingly seemed to lack the immediacy and spark of their previous hit singles though was still curiously catchy in its own way. Hardly one of their best efforts though, The Composer endured only moderate record sales, creeping it's way into the lower reaches of the U.S. Top 40 charts.

    I'm Living In Shame, which explored social issues of the day, returned Diana Ross and the Supremes to more solid ground and was a successful follow up to their blockbuster classic Love Child.

    Ross' slightly nasal delivery that still proves stunning, really cuts through those driving musical arrangements, provided by, as always, Motown's great unsung heroes, the legendary and absolutely unbeatable Funk Brothers, I'm Living In Shame failed to follow Love Child to pole position in the charts but still swept into the Top 10, peaking at number 9.

    The only other hit to be found on Let The Sunshine In (1969) was the totally stunning No Matter What Sign You Are, by far one of Diana Ross and the Supremes most overlooked classics. Ross' purely soulful delivery compliments the electric, tempo-shifting orchestrations. There's not really much to comment on Mary Wilson or Cindy Birdsong as their backing vocals were only used as decorative obligation and these were practically all Diana Ross solo efforts. On numerous tracks between 1968 - 69 neither Mary Wilson or Cindy Bridsong didn't even appear on certian tracks with backing vocal duties provided by the powerful gospel-influenced trio, The Andantes, who certainly injected a grittier edge to the Supremes sound.
    (Incidentally Mary Wilson considered The Composer and No Matter What Sign You Are to be the worst ever Supremes recordings).

    Amongst the scattering of album tracks there's not much to recommend it apart from the odd above average album track. Their cover version of the frequently covered EveryDay People for instance, sounds rushed, uninspired and a complete watse of opporunity. Their take on Jimmy Ruffin's What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted may come as a surprise to some that it was in fact Diana Ross and the Supremes that had actually recorded it FIRST.

    Apparently Jimmy Ruffin loved the song so much he decided to record it as well. Diana Ross and the Supremes version does admittedly pale next to the more famous and now classic Jimmy Ruffin recording.

    However Ross really delivers on the striking Medley - Aquarius/Let The sunshine In. Ross packs in a breathless, impressive tour de force performance that arguably even outshines the original whilst certainly proceeding to be one of the major highlights alongside the small ratio of hits to be found on the LP.

    Hey Western Union Man and Will This Be The Day are standard Motown fare that are both decidely enjoyable enough even if not particularly memroable.

    With A Childs Heart is a rather ghastly, sickly-sweet ballad which had originally been recorded for the slightly disjointed I Hear A Symphony (1965) album though had (sensibly) been canned only to see the light of day on this rather scrappily assembled studio collection. Exactly the same sentiments could be used for another ghastly track, Let The Music Play, a chintzy, cringefully dated showbiz tune.

    Discover Me (And You'll Discover Love) was thoroughly excellent for a mere album track and though could never have been a hit was far superior to some of the more mediocre offerings on here with Ross excelling herself vocally with her stirring, beautifully understated performance that sounds at its best on the climax.

    Closing the Let The Sunshine In album is the simple, easy-going though surprisingly effective I'm So Glad I Got Someone (Like You Around) with subtle backing vocals from Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong against the breathy, seamless tone of Diana Ross.

    But, all in all, Let The Sunshine In is a rather disappointing , patchwork effort though it does also hold some bright spots and for the mainstream Diana Ross and the Supremes fan, this is certainly a recommended album though casual fans will probably not care for the groups reneditions of various hits of the day (What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted , Everyday People etc). Diana Ross and the Supremes were at their peak now and were no longer hitting the charts with as much sure-fire regularity as they once had. The Let The Sunshine In album climbed to a so-so No.24 on the U.S Billboard Album charts whilst failing to chart altogether in the U.K.



    Cream Of The Crop (a questionable title) was yet another merely routine exercise by Tamla Motown Records to gather together canned material, B-sides and filler with a few hit singles thrown in and assemble them for an album. It was a cheap, easy and obvious marketing ploy on the part of Motown but indeed as the case with most albums by other of Motowns key artists, they usually contained a handful of really great, worth while tracks.

    Like their previous studio album, Let The Sunshine In (1969), Cream Of The Crop (1969) carried many cover versions where some really hit their ultimate potential whilst others seem slightly misguided. The only purpose of these diverse cover versions was to show off what an adept and versatile a vocalist Diana Ross had became. Her solo career was now, of course, waiting in the wings. Ross' performances are rich, passionate and brimming with emotion. Ross' sparkling vocals are often some of the tracks only saving grace. All too often the arrangements are too formulaic, lacking any real adventure or invention compared to their golden years.

    The only International hit single to be found scattered on Cream Of The Crop (1969) was Diana Ross And The Supremes touching swan song SomeDay We'll Be Together. Songwriters Jackey Beavers, Johnny Bristol (who provides brief backing vocal interludes on the track) and Harvey Fuqua show off their lyrical finesse whilst lead singer Diana Ross delivers a beautifully understated performance. Her seamless, easy-going performance sounds extremely effective when riding along the smooth and soulful rhythms courtesy of Motowns unsung heros, The Funk Brothers. SomeDay We'll Be Together became Diana Ross And The Supremes twelth and final No.1 smash hit and became a great trailer for the much hyped and eagerly anticipated solo career of Diana Ross, launched in early 1970.

    Another hit single (albeit a very minor one) was also added on to the Cream Of The Crop collection - The Young Folks. This much underated recording, featured an impeccable lead from Ross on what was an untypical sound for "the girls" as boss Berry Gordy always referred to them as. The Young Folks had been used as the flip side to their Top 40 hit, No Matter What Sign You Are (another underated gem). After No Matter What Sign You Are was issued to D.J.'s, The Young Folks eventually generated a lot of interest and soon became a hit in its own right, climbing to No.68 on the BillBoard Charts.

    Some of the recordings recall The Supremes earlier sound which proves contagious when it comes to riviting tracks like You Gave Me Love and Can't You See It's Me. They are prime examples of the Motown genre and subsequently emerge as the real highlights of the album. Ross is in glorious voice on both You Gave Me Love and Can't You See It's Me with her vocals glowing across the well-crafted orchestrations and cutting through those sharp, pulsating, repetitive arrangements like a sharp knife.

    Diana Ross And The supremes lightweight but equally infectious cover version of The Four Top's Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever has a far more group oriented sound in comparison to most other tracks on here that are all practically Diana Ross' solo efforts. The harmonies of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong all blend divinley together.

    Their electric cover version of The Beatles famous classic, Hey Jude, is somewhat debatable. On a personal note, I love hearing Ross' exuberant delivery on Hey Jude but it is also decidely out of context to the original and the harshest rock music critic failed to take Ross' renedition very seriously. Still to her credit she holds her own and injects the song with her oqn magical and individual touch.

    Diana Ross and the Supremes made more social statements on the earthy, Shadows Of Society, which obviously had taken its cue from the social and political commentary on their chart topping soul classic, Love Child and the gritty I'm Living In Shame. Whilst Shadows Of Society certainly doesn't have the fire and edge of those familiar soul classics, it is still quite compelling within itself. The swirling, pshychedelic sounds zoom in and out of each verse, merely adding to the atmospheric feel.

    The Beginning Of The End, i'm convinced, could have been a big hit single and a great swan song for The Supremes had the preferable and far superior SomeDay We'll Be Together not been released. ross' delivery on The Beginning Of The End is both sensitive and sensual and yet at the same time strong and effective. The Beginning Of The End also emerges as one of the albums ultimate highlights.

    What remains of Cream Of The Crop then is pretty much standard Motown fare. Some tracks are pedestrian some totally fail to ignite. When It's To The Top (Still I Won't Stop Loving You) for instance is catchy enough with Ross putting another fantastic performance.

    Surprisingly more lacklustre was the Smokey Robinson produced Till Johnny Comes where as the detour into Folk Music on their cover of bob Dylans Blowin' In The Wind is an adventurous though failed experiment. Simply injecting soul music with folk music proves to go together like oil and water.

    Cream Of The Crop (1969) lacks the consistency of many of Diana Ross And The Supremes classic studio albums such as More Hits By The Supremes (1965), The Supremes A Go Go (1966), The Supremes Sing Holland Dozier Holland (1967) and Love Child (1968), though the inclusion of the gloriously timeless SomeDay We'll Be Together alone justifies buying the album. Fans will be delighted - other wont partcularly care.

    2 out of 5 stars FAIRLY UNSATISFYING DIANA SHOWCASES.......2005-04-30

    To be clear, I am a huge Supremes fan and collector. Their legacy in American pop music is unmatched. However, in the canon of their work, the collection of music here--except for the hits and half a handful of other nice tunes--is a low point. For one thing, the group concept had been shattered at least 3 years prior; thus, there is no notable contribution from the other 2 group members [founding member Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard's replacement, Cindy Birdsong]. Sorry, but, in a vocal group, even one where the "star" has been singled out, I still expect the "other" group members to have the opportunity to contribute something of value. By this point, in many, many cases, the remaining Supremes were replaced by Motown session singers on recordings. Insulting to the group talent, and unfair to the consumer, and especially the fan. Next, Diana's voice sounds thin and tired on some of the non-hit Motown tunes, and uninspired on most of the covers. Thirdly, the group no longer had the attention of one ace songwriting and production team like Holland-Dozier- Holland. Additionally, there is no concept to tie these albums together.

    Since you can find the hits on various compilations, you could easily skip this set unless you are a completist. Overall, not very satisfying.

    5 out of 5 stars ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL - DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES.......2004-05-10

    2 out of 5 stars The Beginning Of The End.......2002-12-02

    Ok my following review may be perceived as biased, but I adore the Holland Dozier Holland era. There was just such a lot going on on those records that made for an explosive combination and Diana Ross as lead vocalist was just spectacular and highly versatile with her unusual vocal delivery which had prompted Berry Gordy to push her into the spotlight. Whilst Diana Ross has remained a superb vocalist as she equally is on these pair of albums they do pale in comparison to some of their previous studio offerings such as Where Did Our Love Go (1964), More Hits By The Supremes (1965), The Supremes A Go Go (1966), The Supremes Sing Holland Dozier Holland (1967) and Love Child (1968).

    Let The Sunshine In (1969) comprised vastly of material Diana Ross And The Supremes had recorded some years earlier such as the ghastly Let The Music Play and With A Child's Heart which had origanally been recorded for their rather disjointed, I Hear A Symphony album (which contrarily became a big hit on the album charts). Both are Vegas-style Kitsch, which though proved Diana to be a clearly diverse talent, lose The Supremes own magical sound which has always remained preferable. One of the extracts, The Composer was written by the genius Smokey Robinson but surprisingly this track has no real immediacy in comparison to a lot of their previous output and the track was a moderate seller. However deserving greater success on the singles charts was the fantastic and electric No Matter What Sign You Are where Dianas' delivery is astoundingly strong and assertive. Everyday People is such a wasted opportunity as it could have been so much better than this liquid, rushed and unspired version. Their cover of the Jimmy Ruffin classic, What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted does little to ignite the album but that is compensated for the masterpiece production of I'm Living In Shame, a gritty, raw number in similar vein to Love Child. The Supremes were clearly keeping up with the times and were showing their more mature side on tracks like I'm Living In Shame, as they offered profound social commentary that hit the times perfectly. Dianas delivery is refreshing on a livley, well-crafted cover of Aquarius and Let The Sunshine In which are neatly blended together into an effective medley. Hey Western Union Man and Will This Be The day were flawed and lacking in some way but Discover Me (and You'll Discover Love) and the sensational I'm So Glad I Got Somebody Like You Around have a lot of merits deeming them essential recordings to hear by Diana Ross And The Supremes. But as a whole, Let The Sunshine In doesn't stand the test of time terribly well but is worth a listen regardless as in its favour it holds some excellent tracks.

    Cream Of The Crop (1969) was not much better though some tracks managed to encapsulate the magic of their earlier work. Can't You See It's Me is a prime example. That pounding, repetitive beat that became something of the Motown phenomenon coated with a magnificent vocal performance from Diana Ross who neatly surfboarded along Motowns complex musical arrangements. Can't You See It's Me features Diana delivering a gutsy, earthy sounding vocal performance, backed by the sparse and infectious production. You Gave Me Love followed in similar fashion whilst their cover of Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever is fantastic as is their social commentary on the earthy Shadows Of Society. However the rest of the album falls a little flat andtedious though Dianas performance on Hey Jude is surprisingly engaging as also on The Beginning Of The End. However the major highlight of this CD comes up with their beautiful and touching ballad, Someday We'll Be Together which Diana performs with style and verve and its this fantastic classic (one of their all-time best ever recordings) that saves the album.

    Let The Sunshine In and Cream Of The Crop are not amongst Diana Ross' most favourable work though they're still worth hearing as there are a sprinkling of superb tracks to be found on each album but what flaws both albums on the whole is the overblown cover versions and lack of origanal material. Listen to them and make your own judgement as many say these are two of The Supremes most enthralling albums (which I would beg to differ with!).

    5 out of 5 stars Not their best, but still interesting.......2002-09-01

    The Supremes were going through a period of change around the time of these recordings. Florence had left in 1967, and Diana was about to leave. Also, as another reviewer pointed out, the songwriters who provided so many of their mid-sixties hits also left Motown. This forced Motown to look to others, who did write some good songs, but were not as good overall as Holland-Dozier-Holland had been.

    The later recordings were virtually Diana solo albums - you don't hear too much of Cindy (who replaced Florence) or Mary on most of these tracks. There are a few hits here, most notably Some day we'll be together (an interesting title considering the then-imminent departure of Diana), plus one that got away.

    Most people think that What becomes of the broken hearted was a Supremes cover of Jimmy Ruffin's hit. Wrong !!! Diana and the Supremes recorded it first, and it was intended to be a single for them. Jimmy heard it and begged Motown to allow him to record it, as he thought it would be a great song for him. Motown put the Supremes version on hold and allowed Jimmy to record it. They decided to go with Jimmy's version instead and the rest is history.

    The overall quality of this album therefore suffers by comparison with some of the Supremes' earlier music, but it's still wonderful music judged by most standards. So, this is not the CD with which to start a collection of Supremes music, but is a fascinating set to have if (like me) you've got most of their earlier music already.

      Product Description

      What a difference 35 years makes. Contrast these lyrics with, oh, any gangsta rap record of the last decade and a half: Black pearl/ Pretty little girl/Let me put you up where you belong Black pearl/ Precious little girl/You've been in the background much too long. It was a kinder, gentler time, kids. Checkmates, Ltd. were "discovered" by jazz diva Nancy Wilson, and for their A&M debut engaged the services of producer Phil Spector, who was best known (until recently, anyway) for early hits with the Ronettes, Crystals and others, and for his work on the Beatles' Let It Be. His patented Wall of Sound and back-to-mono ethic served the Checkmates, Ltd. well on their only smash hit, Black Pearl. But dont stop there. They took Creedence Clearwater Revivals Proud Mary and souled it up, not quite in the Ike and Tina mold, but very credibly. And theres a gorgeous version of Spanish Harlem, which Spector had co-written with legendary tunesmith Jerry Leiber. Rounding out the disc is a real nugget from the time capsule as Sonny Charles & Co. take on a medley from Hair; takes you right back to 1969. Select Direct Releases feature original LP artwork reconfigured to an oversized heavy board minijacket wrapped with an iridescent stock, includes a translucent sleeve to protect the CD. Each jacket is gold foil stamped with a limited edition sequential number.

      I bought this album as a vinyl LP when it first came out and as often happens I lost it at a party!. When I was trying to fill in the gaps in my CD collection I couldn't find this anywhere in the U.K. Finally tracked it down through Amazon and it is just as fresh and exciting a Spector production as I remembered it. Possibly the "Hair" medley not quite as fascinating now that my own hair has gone!!

      Still being in possession of my old 1969 German vinyl copy in spectacular stereo, I am rather dissappointed with this mono digital reissue. Hip-O should tell the customers what they actually get. Although the artwork is exemplary (thick paper sleeve), 2 stars only.

      5 out of 5 stars Great for the Fifth fans.......2007-05-14

      Just a great classic album. On time dilivery and as was expected.

      1 out of 5 stars Sounds like a Bootleg CD.......2006-06-13

      Don't waste your money on this piece of poor sound-quality junk even if you are a 5th Dimension collector like myself! This CD does a disservice to the 5th Dimension group. With the exception of the title track, the other "live" songs sound like they were recorded with a dictaphone in the bottom of a barrel! Some of the songs aren't even sung by the original 5th members. If you want a real gem get the DEFINITIVE COLLECTION or THE MAGIC GARDEN.
