She: The Best Of Charles Aznavour

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Charles Aznavour

Release Date November 25, 1996
As I am lucky enough to have the 3 Aznavour english CDs this was culled from, I would like to echo all the other reviews of the wonder that is Aznavour in english. I would just like to put in a word for the main translator of the words into such idiomatically correct english. The english lyrics are in the main the work of Herbert Kretzmer. He is now mainly known for the magnificent job he did on the english translation of Les Miserables, also lyrics for the Peter Sellers/Sophia Loren Goodness, Gracious Me comedy song. If you've a romantic bone in your body, this CD is for you.

Definitive Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Herb Alpert

Release Date June 11, 2001
I love Herb Alpert. The best known stuff on this album are the likes of the superlatively bouncy Spanish Flea, the sublime A Taste of Honey, the energetic Tijuana Taxi, Tetris theme Zorba the Greek and of course the theme to the original Casino Royale (the one with David Niven) which is so clever it hurts. But there's nothing on this album that doesn't delight.

Mostly it's instrumental, brass band work and very good brass it is. Like a Mariachi band. It's jolly and fun, and it gets me in a good mood and that makes it pretty fab stuff.

Songs That Won the War: Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of Ve Day

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Various Artists

Release Date April 25, 2005
i wanted a compilation that contained a bit of eveything, well this certainly does. it has eveything from the well known songs to the less well known and even speeches that were headline news of the day. it made me think what it must of been like during those terrible years of war for the soldiers and for those left behind to cope. i would thoroughly recommend buying this, it made my day listening to this wonderful war time music which we dont seem to get these days, how sad.

The Best of Burt Bacharach

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Burt Bacharach

Release Date April 01, 1996
The absolute joy of this album is that this is purely and simply Bacharach at his very best.

If you're looking for a 'various artists' or 'songs from the movies' compilation, this isn't it; this is for the Bacharach connoisseur - for those who want to hear the music orchestrated, performed and directed by the man himself, presented as he wants it to be heard. Those who have appreciated the special mellow sound that only Bacharach's own orchestral interpretation of his work can produce will instantly recognise this as the album they have been searching the record stores for. Short of tracking down the original vinyls, you won't do better than this.

These tracks are selected from those difficult-to-get-hold-of original albums, ... Read More:

Initials SG

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Serge Gainsbourg

Release Date February 24, 2003
An engaging introduction into the compelling music of the man who, in his own lifetime, was regarded as a French national institution: Serge Gainsbourg. This compilation provides a broad and chronological overview of his career; it begins in 1958 with the jazzy strains of 'Le Poinconneur Des Lillas and concludes, 22 tracks and 32 years later, with his gentle, unhurried duet with Catherine Deneuve 'Dieu Fumeur De Havanes' from 1980. Crammed in between are three decades worth of tracks in a multitude of musical styles, including: pop, jazz, rock, reggae and disco. Initials SG shows that Gainsbourg, at his best, had poise ('Initials BB) and passion (UK No.1 'Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus') in equal measures.

The Essential Sarah Vaughan

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Sarah Vaughan

Release Date February 15, 2003
Some rave about Ella Fitzgerald, her tonal purity and mirth, but say she could lack emotional depth (not sure I agree). Some rave about Billie Holliday, but have to cede that she had a narrow range, although she was a groundbreaking stylist. Sarah Vaughan was the third great female voice of jazz, and believe you me, she lacked nothing!

This album is a wonderful budget introduction to one of the most remarkable voices of all time. Her range and her sheer musical intelligence are unsurpassable.

The Best of Cilla Black

CD-Charts > Music > Bestsellers
by: Cilla Black

Release Date August 26, 2002
Long before Cilla Black became the queen of Saturday night TV with legendary shows such as "Blind Date" and "Surprise Surprise", she was a pop star with many hit singles, albums and EPs to her name. Her voice is pure magic, jet black and just amazing, it's no wonder then that many of her songs shot up into the top ten in the UK from 1963 to 1974. She even had a couple of no.1 hits, the incrediable "Anyone Who Had A Heart" and "You're My World".
This great, super value compilation album is a re-issue of Cilla's top 30 greatest hits LP from 1968 with 11 great bonus tracks added. All her main hits are here and the bonus songs are a must!, my favorites being the beautiful "He Was A Writer", "I Believe" and "It's Now".
All in all, this is one great album and living ... Read More:
