A Song in the Air: the Debut Recordings

CD-Charts > Music > Nostalgia
by: Jane Powell

Release Date August 07, 2006
Suzanne Burce's parents were determined that Jane would be the next Shirley Temple - this didn't happen but Suzanne eventually gained the recognition her parents craved when she was signed up as a teenager by MGM who were looking for the next Deanna Durbin. One of the first things that MGM did was to change her stage name to Jane Powell.

Jane had a high soprano voice just as Deanna did, but each of them had their own style. Although signed to MGM, they often lent her out to other studios and in any case did not release soundtrack recordings when they first signed Jane (they did later). So this collection, covering the period 1946 to 1949, is made up of sixteen tracks recorded for Columbia, with whom Jane secured a recording contract ... Read More:

Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection: The Greatest Novelty Records of All Time

CD-Charts > Music > Nostalgia
by: Various

Release Date May 21, 1991
You simply cannot please everybody when it comes to putting together an album that professes to include "The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time" as Dr. Demento does for this 20th Anniversary Collection. I take one look at the playlist and want to know where is Groucho Marx singing "Lydia the Tatooed Lady" and probably everybody has a different "Weird Al" Yankovic song they would rather listen to than "Eat It." But then it is not like this is the only collection the good doctor has thrown our way. This 20th Anniversary Collection does include a good number of "must have" novelty hits, from "Cocktails for Two" by Spike Jones and "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" by Allen Sherman to Steve Martin's "King Tut" and "The Time Warp" from "The Rocky Horror ...

Sarah Vaughan

CD-Charts > Music > Nostalgia
by: Sarah Vaughan

Release Date November 20, 1990
This 2003 release of Vaughan's December, 1954, album (previously released in 1991 as "Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown") is one of her most brilliant collaborations and a fine memorial to the work of Brown, who died eighteen months after recording this, at age twenty-six. With Brown on trumpet, Paul Quinichette on tenor sax, Jimmy Jones on piano, Roy Haynes on drums, and Herbie Mann on jazz flute, the album is a sophisticated partnership among musicians, all of whom are thinking of the whole sound and the whole effect, rather than their own star turns. The mood varies from light to poignantly tender, the tempo is usually slow, and the volume is kept low, highlighting the creativity of each performer's variations while remaining true to the songs ...

John Denver's Greatest Hits [Us Import]

CD-Charts > Music > Nostalgia
by: John Denver

Release Date May 13, 2002
This album is rare. John Denver was approached to make this album, at a time when he was singing better than at any time in his career, so far. All the tracks are re-recordings and have been treated differently to when they were originally recorded. The result is amazing. This is the real best of John Denver.

There have been more many recent John Denver collections, but surprisingly they all contain the original inferrior recordings. There is an American Import version of this called John Denver's Greatest Hits, which has the same picture on the front, some of which contain three bonus tracks.

If you can get this at a reasonable price, this is a must.
