Best Martini Music Ever.......2007-03-08

I recently discovered Jack Jones, his voice is like velvet - perfect for a cocktail party or if you are having a date over for a romantic dinner. Every song is excellent - initially I bought it for wives and lovers - but was amazed by the rest of the CD. Perfection.

Wives & Lovers/Dear Heart Jack Jones CD.......2006-03-20

I bought this originally for the Dear Heart album, and in my opinion, it is the better of the two. The Dear Heart album has a better song choice, although I understand that Wives & Lovers won a Grammy for Jack Jones. Jack Jones is very talented and I thoroughy enjoyed listening to his beautiful, melodic voice.

**********.......2005-10-14

Jack Jones at his very best. What amazes me is how people can say "He sounds better today than ever"!! Have any of the people listened to this CD?

You, the night, the summertime..........2004-01-11

Hey, little girl... Dang, every line just burns its way into your consciousness. This is a classic Jack double set (one of several) and contains many unforgettable songs.

While the Greatest Hits compilation is superb, there are so many stunning songs on this set that weren't even 45s, that you simply cannot get your head around how utterly brilliant this man really is.

It's not just that he has a golden, smooth smooth smooth voice, with an almost operatic range, it's that he is never afraid of taking chances with his phrasing and delivery, which makes for some very exciting performances. What Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant did for Rock vocals, Jack did for the crooners. He just transformed the entire concept.

Added to that, he recorded some of the greatest songs ever written, and did it HIS way. Just pick a song off this powerhouse double set and you'll see what I mean... even the songs off Wives And Lovers alone... Wives and Lovers (of course) Toys In The Attic, Angel Eyes, the haunting Charade and Nina Never Knew, Summertime Promises, his stunningly original cover of Fly Me To The Moon... you get the idea.

This man is one class act, and this is an essential purchase.

The Necessary Jack Jones.......2004-01-01

At the time of this writing, there is still no complete CD collection of Jack Jones' classic Kapp recordings; the only way to get these indispensible albums is on these English imports, each of which features two of the original albums on one CD. I can't stress enough how essential these are to anyone who wants to hear the voice of the century. These are the original, enduring Jack Jones recordings, his lasting contribution to music, the most perfectly enunciated, crystal-toned pieces of heartfelt romance imaginable. Jack Jones is indescribable--he reached perfection so soon, he had nowhere to go beyond that, and has been experimenting for years. Trust the perfect original. The Kapp albums, two of the very best of which are these, are the greatest "pure music" recordings ever made by a pop singer. I love them, and believe you will as well.

Sheer class.......2003-11-13

Back in the seventies, I learned the hard way that you never lend out your Jack albums. While I will never see some of that vinyl again, I welcome the chance to catch up on that and more with the hopefully ever-increasing CD back catalog.

There was something almost mystical about Jack's earlier recordings, and if I had to pick out one album that I would consider my favorite, it would be There's Love... which gave us the Jack anthem And I Love Her.

I know we're all going to disagree over his 'best' work, but with an artist of his caliber, you can only really talk about your favorite albums - another classic being Sings Michel Legrand.

Last I heard the man is still going strong, and still doing sold-out world tours, and from the last recent photo I saw, he's still outrageously handsome, dang it.

A superb double Jack set and from the look of Amazon's excellent database, one of several paired sets. Now I just have to catch up on the rest.

Brilliant.

A WONDERFUL "TWO-FER" BY JACK JONES!.......2002-08-15

This coupling of two of Jack's best albums offers the music lover immeasurable nostalgia, enjoyment and collectability all in one great CD. The first half of this CD latches on to the (then) recent bossa-nova craze and takes a handful of standards and lets Jack 'bossa-nova' his way through them. It's inspiring the way the arrangements sound so tailor made to old chestnuts like THE LAMP IS LOW, the underappreciated Hoagy Carmichael-penned torch song I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL and the recent broadway hits of the 60's SHE LOVES ME and ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS. But the real beauty here is the second half of this CD, the album THERE'S LOVE AND THERE'S LOVE, the charts contributed by Nelson Riddle (the only time he and Jack had the opportunity to work together) Nelson's work with Jack is much like any other work he's done with any other singer - flawless. A Riddle chart always got the best out of the singer, and this is more than evident as Nels and Jack put their indelible stamp on the Beatles' classic ballad, AND I LOVE HER. Other geniune treasures to be found are the old Al Jolson standard, YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU and the lilting WHILE WE'RE YOUNG. You'll find the title track with its lyric from the able hands of Sammy Cahn, THERE'S LOVE AND THERE'S LOVE a cute tune that may border on commercial, but it never comes off that way with Jack's tender reading and Nelson's thoughful chart behind him. A really wonderful "two-fer" to have in your collection!

Incredible Singing!.......2000-04-28

These two Jack Jones albums on the Kapp label from the mid '60's are long overdue on cd! The first album "She Loves Me" features songs with a latin beat, done superbly by Jones. The second album "There's Love & There's Love & There's Love" is a classic, which features the only time that Jack collaborated with the great legendary arranger Nelson Riddle. The songs are sung beautifully and smoothly by Jones, and the arrangements are incredibly lush. The album is an absolute classic. This cd is a must have for any Jack Jones fan and fan of the great popular standards!

Incredible Singing!.......2000-04-27

These two albums by Jack Jones from the mid '60's are a perfect example of what makes Jack Jones so great! "She Loves Me" features songs with a latin beat, done superbly by Jones. "There's Love & There's Love & There's Love" is a classic album featuring the only time that Jack collaborated with the great and legendary arranger Nelson Riddle.

Two Master Disks from a Vocal Master on 1 CD: Big Deal!.......1999-10-28

Incredible but MCA United Kingdom has done a better work on Jack Jones' Kapp originals than MCA America has. An entire album with arrangements by Nelson Riddle would be enough to enchant our hearts. So imagine one more excellent album in the same CD package.

Customer Reviews:

Michael Ball, the Best Ever.......2006-11-10

This Michael Ball 2 CD set is unbelievable. All I can say about Michael Ball is that he is the best entertainer on CD or DVD that has ever come along. That says everything about his talents, voice and presentations.

Ahhhhhhhhh.......2006-09-19

What can I say... Michael Ball's voice just cannot be compared to anyone else. This cd is just one more example of his talent.

The Only Michael Ball C.D. You Need In Your Collection!.......2005-12-01

I am SO happy that Michael Ball released this C.D. and the music on it more then makes up for the expensive pricetag. The songs are the C.D. are the hits from a combination of Michael Ball's C.Ds... and the C.D. has EVERY song any Michael Ball fan would ever want to own in their collection.

His romantic and stunningly beautiful version of "All I Ask Of You" is my personal favorite... as well as the song that changed his life and brought him to superstardom in England "Love Changes Everything." There are also two songs Michael Ball wrote himself-that aren't realesed on any other C.D-"Someone Else's Dream" I found very powerful and inspiring.

Michael personally chose his favorites as well his fans favorites- including a ton of non-Broadway music that reads a breath of fresh air... "Song For You", "The River", and "What Love Is For" manages to stand out in this EXCELLENT C.D. collection.

If you haven't bought a Michael Ball CD yet then this is DEFINATELY the CD to own! Any true Michael Ball fan will be grateful that they made this C.D. and any true Broadway fan will be grateful for the CD as well.
5-stars for all of Michael's BEST- Definately worth the PRICE... Hit the buy now button on your screen and don't miss out on this WONDERFUL C.D.!!!!

ND.......2005-11-08

I am kind of disappointed because Micheal is probably my favorite vocalist, but he doens't come out with many new stuff...All of his CD's seem to be regurgitated songs, although this compliation has some of the best ones. I wish he would come out with new interpretations of songs on both sides of the pond.

Brilliant singer-actor.......2005-09-23

With frequent work on stage productions by Andrew Lloyd-Webber and others, it may be that Michael's acting career is more important than his singing career. However, Michael is a fine singer as this double-CD clearly proves.

Reflecting his dual role as singer and actor, this set includes many stage songs, rightly opening with Love changes everything (from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Aspects of love), which gave Michael a UK number two hit in 1989 and remains his only really big hit.

Michael came second (the fate of so many UK entries) in the 1992 Eurovision song contest but it only just made the UK top twenty in the singles charts. He has had other minor UK hits but they are not included here.

Some of the songs here comes from shows in which Michael has acted including Empty chairs empty tables (from Les Miserables) and the title track from Phantom of the Opera, although Michael sings it here with Lesley Garrett, whereas in the show his co-star was Sarah Brightman.

The remaining songs include covers of other artists' hits (Always on my mind, Cry me a river, If tomorrow never comes) and stage songs (Tell me on a Sunday, Tell me it's not true, All I ask of you, Oh what a circus).

This is a brilliant compilation of music by a singer who has made only a limited impact on the singles charts but whose albums always sell well and deservedly so.

Touching and Comforting.......2006-03-09

I purchased Songs of Love by Michael Ball and have almost worn it out!! I lost my husband to cancer not so long ago and this man's music has been a salve on this bleeding wound. I also have enjoyed Up Close and Personal for the same reason. At night, when I think my world has come to an end, Michael's songs and his wonderful voice singing them makes things seem not so bad as the words of his music make me remember how good I had it for 37 years.
I wish I could tell him how he has touched me and helped me through this difficult time. Too often, we forget to thank those that do such wonderful things with their God given talents.
Treat yourself to this man's music.
Mary Colletti

Another Fantastic Album from Michael!.......2001-09-05

This album makes a great addition to any Michael Ball collection. I was absolutely blown away by "Take My Breath Away"---Michael explores his upper vocal range here, and does it very well. It is one of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heard. The songs range from light and pop-like to slow and intense; there is a wide variety of styles represented. A highly recommended album!

Love Songs.......2000-11-26

This is the most recent Michael Ball CD I have and I have been playing it constantly. I had wanted to hear the Brel song, IF YOU GO AWAY. On this CD it is sung in both English and French - very soft and very romantic. ALL BY MYSELF and WALK AWAY are very much the dramatic voice and very passionate. The best part of a Michael Ball song is that he makes each song a performance and really sings the words. The voice gives even familiar songs a different nuance to make them his songs. The songs that were new to me sound as if no other voice could ever sing them. This is the CD for the moods of love.

Fall in love with Michael Ball!.......2000-11-06

This CD is a beautiful collection of love songs. I like all different types of music, but after hearing Michael Ball, I must admit that other artists pale in comparison. His voice is lovely and each song he sings absolutely rings with emotion. I have long been a die hard rock music fan, although I enjoy music as a whole. Thanks to PBS for introducing me to Michael in the 10th anniversary of Les Miserables, I have found that I have a new appreciation of music that I would have passed up on and would have missed something very special. Songs Of Love is a magical audio treat that is such a pleasure to enjoy. Pay special attention to Walk Away, my favorite, sung with such feeling, it brings tears to your eyes. Do yourself a favor....light a few candles, sit back with a mellow glass of wine and listen to this true gift of music!

Customer Reviews:

The beginnings of a genius.......2006-02-06

This album was Paul's first album for A & M and dates back to 1971. As well as a Japanese release, which can be hard to get hold of, it will now be released on 20th February 2006 in the UK on the East Central One record label.

After releasing an album, Someday Man, in 1969 on Reprise, this was the album which brought Paul to the notice of the listening public as well as fellow musicians, who began queuing up to record Paul's songs. This album of songs of love lost & found, highlighted both Paul's skills of his songsmith as well as a singer.

The album includes well known classics like An Old Fashioned Love Song, rejected by The Carpenters but brought to the attention of the listening world by 'Three Dog Night' and We've Only Just Begun recorded memorably by The Carpenters. This song, which started as a bank commercial, has forever been immortalised by Karen Carpenters voice and is now a favourite at weddings all over the world.

Although some may find Paul's voice an acquired taste, I feel that he is able to convey the feelings behind his songs with wonderful dramatic effect. This is a collection of 11 wonderful songs, produced superbly by Michael James Jackson.

The CD comes complete with a booklet with the lyrics of all the songs, so you can sing, and cry, along to your hearts desire

A great album and a timely release, as Paul continues to write for projects such as the stage mucial of Happy Days, which previews in February 2006 in the USA

An Old Fashioned Love Song.......2002-03-05

When I first heard this collection, I was halfway around the world in the Orient. I have thought many time of locating a copy on CD but never have pursued it till now. I feel this is a superior arrangement and is priceless to the true Paul Williams music fan. I look forward to ordering and listening to many more of Paul Williams arrangements.

So Many Memories of . . . ........2000-09-02

Listening to Just an Just an Old Fashion Love Song brought back many memories (good and not so good) of the times I listened to that album and many more in the early 70(s). I was thrilled to have found this CD because I had been looking for several years. Having been a fan of Paul for 30+ years, I'm actually joining The Official Paul Williams Fan Club, hoping to meet him some day. He is one of the most talented musicians in the World . . Years ago, someone asked him how it was working with Barbra Streisand on Evergreen. He said it was like having a picnic in the middle of a freeway. Looking forward to purchasing more Paul Williams CD(s). A Fan Forever . . Di

Paul Williams: An Excellent Artist.......2000-07-09

There is only one word to describe Paul William's music: extraordinary. It's no wonder why many recording artists of the late 1960's and early 1970's - The Carpenters, Three Dog Night, Helen Reddy, Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge, just to name a few - had chosen to record some of his songs.

Aside from his mastery of his musical medium, the piano, what sets Paul Williams's work apart is its uniqueness. Somewhat akin to Burt Bacharach's songs before him, many of Paul William's songs do not follow the usual three-chord patterns that are so common in popular songs. Listen to his songs for the first time and chances are you won't find it easy to predict which direction his songs will take you next.

Just when the listener begins to relax to the first few mellow bars of `You And Me Against The World', the music suddenly picks up in cadence and intensity without warning, beginning with "Remember when the circus came to town..." which is later repeated with "Life can be a circus, they underpay and overwork us..." It is this impulsive, neurotic unpredictability that makes some of Paul's songs so unique.

One would be at a loss to cite a better example to accurately describe the hopes and optimism experienced by many people just starting out life-shaping relationships, say a marriage. Paul William's "Sharing horizons that are new to us, watching the signs along the way..." in `We've Only Just Begun' is a good start. It is a song for people and couples looking forward to lasting and meaningful relationships.

`That's Enough For Me' is a masterpiece with its haunting lyrical and melodic quality, not to mention the superb guitar work. It is Paul revealing his soul in his most tender and vulnerable moment, finding solace in what love has to offer. One can't help but wish being in his shoes, content and serene, finding simple domestic pleasure and comfort just being with the loved one.

`Rainy Days and Mondays' perfectly describes the rut that modern man finds himself in while coping with the pressure of everyday life. `Waking Up Alone' is a tale of a wandering man who finally decides to come back to his hometown, only to discover how much he had missed and will be missing when he finds his old flame now happily married with a child of her own. And that is when cold reality strikes him: he is all alone. Graham Nash' `Simple Man' is a pleasant surprise, the only non-Paul Williams tune in this compilation. This tells us that even a sophisticated artist like Paul Williams can once in a while interpret another writer's piece - a very simple piece at that! - and make it sound his own.

`I Won't Last A Day Without You' tells us of Paul Wiiliam's willingness to "take all the madness the world has to give" as long as he has love. A pseudo critic friend of mine once told me that this kind of attitude - that is, the desire to exist only when in the company of one's object of affection - is itself a form of madness. Well, perhaps. But who says that love isn't blind?

This CD's liner has Paul Williams dedicating this body of work to the serious listener. Well, he proves once again that he is worth listening to.

Paul Williams has caught my ears and hopefully, yours too!

Paul williams - 28 years on!.......2000-06-10

I first heard this as an LP back in 73/74. I was living abroad at the time & my two best friends there had copies of it. I always reckoned I'd buy my own copy when I got back to the UK & settled down.

Once I got to the UK I started looking around for it but without success. In the meantime, my friends lost/damaged their copies through travelling round. About a year ago I heard one of the songs again on some obscure radio station (I never even got the station name) & I have been searching for a copy since. Am I looking forward to hearing those songs again? - I am counting the days. If I could only have one CD to my name - this would be the one! It's fantastic!

Customer Reviews:

Doris charmed me. .......2007-05-10

This CD has very good composition.
I am especially pleased with "FLY ME TO THE MOON" in the highest.
She who is also a singer and also an actress demonstrates the talent to the power of expression of music.

The Sultry Side of Doris Day!.......2006-09-15

Sultry is not and adjective that quickly comes to mind describing Doris Day, but it definitely applies here. Released at the height of the Bossa Nova craze and at the height of her fame in the early 60's, Latin for Lovers is one of her finest recordings. Sexy, and sensual, Doris has never sounded better singing these Latin songs (in English, of course, though she does sing a few phrases in Spanish on one song). A few songs, like Fly Me to the Moon have been rearranged and fit perfectly with the rest of the sets Latin mood. Love Him!, released around the same time period, is not quite as good, lacking in focus, but is also one of her best with some unusual cuts: Love Him!, which is a highly dramatic reading for Doris; Willy Nelson's Night Life and some nice covers of standards from that time. This twofer is a real treat and a bargain at any price!

Two excellent albums plus rare bonus tracks.......2003-08-06

The album that makes up the first half of this twofer, Latin for lovers, features a mix of standards and songs of Latin origin, all given a gentle bossa nova rhythm. On Be mine tonight, Doris actually sings a verse in Spanish - the only time she ever did that. Of the standards, Fly me to the moon and Our day will come are the best known. One of the Latin songs, Perhaps perhaps perhaps (a translation of Quizas quizas quizas) became popular in the UK as a consequence of its use in a TV commercial. This is an excellent album that sets its own mood.

The album that makes up the second half of this twofer, Love him, is dominated by ballads, all superbly sung by Doris. The songs come from a variety of source, including lovely covers of Elvis Presley's Can't help falling in love and Fool such as I (although the latter was originally a Hank Snow country song). There is also an amazing cover of Willie Nelson's Night life, which has been given a very dramatic scene-setting intro that Willie never envisaged. It works well and once you get past the intro, the song sounds exactly as you would expect it to. Several other songs will be familiar to those who know the music of the fifties and sixties.

Two rare bonus tracks, Moonlight lover and A whisper away, have been added to make this even more desirable than it was anyway.

Classy!.......2003-01-03

Two of D. Day's best albums. "Latin . . ." is perfect candlelight and wine music. Every track is a masterpiece but "Summer Has Gone" gets to me like no other song. Likewise, Willie Nelson's "Nightlife" on "Love Him" always pleases. A little out of character for DD with a raucus start and an elegant finish. It's magnificent. If you have no other Doris Day CDs in your collection, these are the two to start with.

Moonlight Lover.....did you know?.......2002-10-11

Doris Day said that she and Tommy Oliver had the great idea of recording an album called, "I've Got A Right To Sing The Classics!". The project never went anywhere, again most probably because her movie career overshadowed her recording career and demanded so much of her time. While recording the songs for Love Him, they added two which were slated to be released as singles.
They are here, added to this set, but were never released. They are Moonlight Lover as well as A Whisper Away.

Moonlight Lover is penned by Tommy Oliver. I believe this was a prototype for the album, I've Got A Right To Sing The Classics, that never happened. Moonlight lover is lyrics put to a contemporary Moonlight Sonata. And MAN is it gorgeous! Sexy, pleading, begging.............WOW!
Now the other, A Whisper Away, is a great title, but the song itself is not that good. Don't think it could have carried well as a single. Of course, Doris gives it her all.....and that's nothing short of PERFECTION!
The amazing thing about the 60's for Doris Day is that she was the number one box office star during much of that time. Girls in their high school yearbooks, put her down as who they felt was their most favorite and who they wanted to be most like. The irony is that she had few attempts to give high school kids recordings aimed at them. One of Doris' best attempts at that was her Theme from "Do Not Disturb". OThers were "Move Over Darling", and "Send Me No Flowers". But who knows what might have been if they had commissioned Tony Hatch (of Petula Clark fame), Les Reed(sp?), Henry Mancini, more Burt Bacharach and Hal David, or used more Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil pens?
Unfortunately, the story is told.
But there should be more on the way. Somewhere, Terry Melcher and Doris have her recordings from her TV show, and Doris Day's Best Friends (Ever heard Doris sing "My Heart" from that? WOW!), and both of her TV specails, one from 1971 with Perry Como, and 1975 (Doris Day Today with John Denver). So there is still some more to come. Perhaps, if we're lucky, she's been recording all along at her sons, Terry Melcher's place right near her home in Carmel. He has a recording studio there. We might eventually end up with some stuff we don't yet know exists!
PRAY!!!!
