Medleys: Hits & Favourites

Search: Make You Believe
by: Charlie Kunz

Release Date October 15, 2007
This is a happy trip down memory lane, and for those like myself who remember the era of the good old Steam Radio, it's a must-buy. The first dozen tracks or so are before my time, but as the hits of the late 40's/early 50's come in, the memories come flooding back. Charlie Kunz (1896-1958) was one of the BBC's mainstays, and his fluent easy-listening style must have inspired many listeners to lift up the lid on the old Joanna and give it a try.

Just what did Charlie Kunz have that others didn't? Well, he possessed a formidable technique, but somehow he understated it; he utilised alternate soft/loud passages to give the tunes their colour; and he played exactly the right chords - there was never any wishy-washy playing.

The Golden Age of Modern Soul

Search: Make You Believe
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 30, 2005
My heart sank when I played disc 1 of this compilation, as the tracks are exactly the type of Modern Soul I dislike.Inane lyrics,dodgy melodies and too reliant on a funky bassline.

Disc 2 is a different matter, Crossover soul at its best, great tunes and heartfelt performances.

All in all Salvation in a disc, but cannot give more than 3 stars
