Amazon.com

Ani DiFranco steals the show with her ace rendition of Dusty Springfield's "Wishin' and Hopin'." But DiFranco was playing the lyrics for smirks, which made it hard to wrap yourself up in the performance. Elsewhere, you get Mary-Chapin Carpenter covering "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," a version of "What the World Needs Now Is Love" by Jackie DeShannon; Diana King (of "Stir It Up" fame) doing a lite-reggae version of "I Say a Little Prayer," and a Tony Bennett moment. Burt Bacharach's songs are all over this CD, which is good. But aside from DiFranco and Bennett, many of the artists turned loose to sing them could've been better deployed. Overall, rather slight. --Gavin McNett

3 out of 5 stars My Best Friend's Wedding CD.......2007-06-27

To be honest I only bought the CD for one song. If you wanna be happy is the name of the song. I am pretty satisfied.

4 out of 5 stars Old Friends, Good Times.......2007-06-14

I bought this CD strictly for the song "If You Wanna Be Happy". You know, the song that cautions about making a pretty woman your wife. I needed the song for a PowerPoint presentation/gameshow I was doing in honor of my husband's 50th birthday/LIRR retirement party. (Yes, he did make the mistake, early in our marriage, of casually agreeing with the advice in the song! He has since learned not to voice those opinions.)
I found myself pleasantly surprised by the eclectic selection of songs and have downloaded it to my Zume. It is nice to hear some of the oldies again and remember what you were doing when they were first popular. It makes for a nice nostalgia trip. Poor yourself a glass of wine, kick back and reminisce.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2006-12-03

This is one of my favorite movies... and so I had to own the soundtrack.
This was such a wonderful buy I just couldn't pass it up! :)

3 out of 5 stars Not Quite Like The Music In The Movie.......2006-07-19

I love watching movies and then purchasing the soundtracks shortly after I can't stop singing the music on the movie. I purchased this soundtrack recently and let me tell you that it is good but I was somewhat disappointed. I think that the songs are very soothing and nice, but not quite what was in the movie. I guess what I was looking for was a lot of what I heard during the movie, the cast singing and things like that. Some good advice before buying, keep in mind that if you are looking for something closer to what is heard on the movie, this is not exactly it. If you like the music in the movie in general and do not care about how it is played as long as you get the same words, then you should buy the soundtrack.

In general I was very disappointed that it was not closer to what is featured in the movie, but it has several classics in there for those of you who are looking for that sort of stuff. Good luck on your purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Soundtrack as fun as the movie!!!.......2006-01-29

Such great music!! Nice that it includes some of the songs by the actors, many soundtracks miss those. Notably missing, however, is my personal favorite -- Dermot Mulroney singing The Way You Look Tonight. Now that would make it complete!!

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

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Buy it or I'll come to your home..........2006-11-12

I first discovered AG thru the Ronstadt records in the mid 70s, which were largely him on guitars and keys (You're No Good, Heat Wave, When Will I be Loved). His incredible gifts made these songs stand out.When he released his first couple of solo albums I was all ears and as a guitar player, strived to duplicate his sound. The songs were simple, musically very rich, and very listenable. After his 4th album, Whirlwind, I kinda lost track of him. I recently hooked up w/ him again, and listened to a lot of his 90s stuff, which is a bit more complex, but still great. After a couple of listens, songs like KING OF SHOWBIZ and CAN ANYBODY SEE YOU are right up there w/ LONELY BOY and HEARTACHES IN HEARTACHES. All are included here. The (at this point) happy postscript is I met the man, and am now playing in his band! He really is brilliant. Dont let the simple melodies fool you- the chords underneath are complex and many. BUY THIS CD!!

5 out of 5 stars Two good reasons.......2005-10-11

for singles fans to buy this CD: 1) The long version of Lonely Boy. The radio station issued 45 sounds like a bad edit at the end and cuts a great guitar lick from Gold. 2) Never Let Her Slip Away. One of those singles that got lost in the glut of releases in the late 70's. Gold's a real talent, and the liner notes reveal many facts you'll be surprised to learn. There's more to his story than Thank You For Being A Friend.

4 out of 5 stars good but..........2003-10-29

this is a very good greatest hits compilation but i really wish his album "what's wrong with this picture" would be released.

5 out of 5 stars Buy it!!!!!.......2000-12-20

Andrew Gold is a class songwriter in the same league as Billy Joel or Christopher Cross. His music is moving, real and genuine. If you love popular music in its highest, most original form buy this album and sit back and enjoy - life isn't so bad after all!!

5 out of 5 stars One of the best CDs I've ever heard.......1999-04-16

In my opionion Andrew Gold is one of the greatest underrated singers, musicians, songwriters, producers, engineers, ... of our time. This album contains all of his big hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s. If you are fond of pop music this is the ultimate album. If your looking for light rock music with a dash of country, this is it. Do you like heartbreaking love ballads then this album is a must for you. This CD is simply THE BEST!

3 out of 5 stars THE VERY BEST -- Almost!.......2007-06-06

Firstly, somebody somewhere needs to compile a "true" BEST OF Anthology for the superbly talented (and oft "overlooked") DAVE MASON. I realize that there are possibly legal protections which only "restrict" and "hinder" such a worthy compilation - due to the fact that several recording companies might be in conflict to allow the sharing of rights (thanks to our great and fair "Legal System" ... which SUCKS!). Anyway, this CD is a very nice compilation, but what I really HATED was that the final 3 songs (the very BEST tracks that I really wanted more than most) were "dreaded" LIVE versions!!! That of course is my personal preference, because I always prefer UNEDITED STUDIO versions whenever possible. Also, a SECOND DISC could have offered this option -- a few LIVE versions included ... plus including few other hits which could have been added from albums such as LET IT FLOW, SPLIT COCONUT and MARIPOSA DE ORO. Overall, not a bad CD - but the VERY BEST ?? ... well, ALMOST.

4 out of 5 stars Dave Mason Magic.......2006-09-03

Some of the best rock/pop songs ever come from Dave Mason as a soloist or with the likes of Traffic*(*somewhat obscure on many playlists, unfortunately, but an inspired and required must have for song-writers and rock collections). One of the sweetest "break-up" songs ever written is "We Just Disagree". Even though there are a few of my favorite songs missing from rockin' "...Watchtower to the enigmatic "Misty Morning Stranger" , still this cd decently shows Dave Mason's range and immense talent.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet collection of Dave Mason.......2002-03-22

This is a great CD! If you're into great harmonies and melodies, this CD is for you. Very pre CS&N sounding! The pure blend of harmonies, rhythms, melodies, and production make this a super rare collection of hits and obscure/hard to find cuts. Some of the cuts are absolutely live , and that is the only way to hear them! (What a rarity in this day and age...... No overdubs, etc.)This goes to show you how tight Dave Mason's band really was! From Traffic to Mama Cass to Fleetwood Mac, he's been involved/played with the best! Enjoy!!!

4 out of 5 stars Seventies Rock Fanatic.......2002-01-09

I've been a great fan of Dave Mason from his early Traffic days.Incedently what a fantastic group the original Traffic were.I already own Dave's " Alone Together " album and am absolutely thrilled to have at last found this one.
All the tracks are great with tracks 1,4,8,17,18 & 19 especially blowing me away.
A great album from a very underated artist.Long live the likes of Dave Mason,Delaney & Bonnie,Screaming Trees & Cold Blood.

A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

1 out of 5 stars Dreamgirls 2001.......2007-06-27

This was the worst reproduction of Dreamgirls that I ever heard. I was so disappointed the CD went into the garbage. This is one CD that I would not sell to the public because I expect so much and get so little.

4 out of 5 stars Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04


Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.

Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28

There is atleast 5 new songs on this album that were not in the movie! These girls kill it I mean they are just amazing singers, and this all live! This is needed for any Dreamgirls fanatic like me! You are gonna love it! Enjoy! love live laugh :)

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!!!!.......2006-12-04

As a theatre lover, this recording is amazing. I actually prefer this recording to the OBC. Sheryl Lee Ralph is okay, but can't touch Audra's Deena. The first time I heard Ms. White's "And I Am Telling You..", goosbumps all over my body. The only weak cast member in my opinon is Heather Headly. Vocally, she just isn't there. Too much Aida, not enough Dreamgirls. But all in all, a great live recording of a great show.

5 out of 5 stars One Night Only .......2006-07-19

I was lucky enough to attend this One Night Only concert performance of Dreamgirls and it was a night I will never forget!! The cast was brilliant and the cd is as good if not better than the Broadway cast recording because it is the entire show not just the songs. Bravo to everyone involved !!!

5 out of 5 stars WOW.......2005-11-18

I know that WOW is kind of a small word but this CD ROCKS! I have loved queen for years. I originally bought this CD for my 10 year old son who took up the violin this year and who loves queen as much as I do but it quickly became mine. I've heard some pretty bad imitations, remakes, and ripoffs. I can honestly say that this CD is none of the above.You get 10 of Queens best. 1) Killer Queen, 2) Bohemian Rhapsody, 3) We Are The Champions, 4) We WIll Rock You, which happens to be my favorite on this disk, 5)Fat Bottomed Girls, 6)Crazy Little Thing Called Love, 7) Somebody To Love, 8) Play The Game, 9) You're My Bext Friend, 10) Another One Bites The Dust. The only downside to this disk is that they left out about a hundred other songs. I sincerely hope that The String Quartet comes out with a volume 2, but why stop there. They could go on forever with just Queen Classics.
Do yourself a favor. If you like Queen and Classical Music BUY THIS CD. You won't be sorry.

5 out of 5 stars YES!!!!.......2005-06-05

Two words: Bohemian Rahpsody.

THey could have released a CD with only this song and I would have bought/borrowed/stolen it to get it. This song is definitely a highlight, but don't stop there, since the rest of the CD will make you want to play it over and over again.

If you've been thinking about buying a String Quartet Tribute, but don't know which to buy, I would buy this one, without a doubt.

5 out of 5 stars Rock Music as Art Is Still Kicking.......2007-04-29

A sincere, original masterpiece in an age of self-absorbed "indie" trash. Buy this album, and meet one of the apostles of rock at the instant of reincarnation.

4 out of 5 stars moody, lovely cd..........2007-03-16

feels homemade (the way cocorosie does); really like that aspect.
simple, odd stuff, def worth repeated listening (in fact, took several listens for me to tune in to it).

recommended!

3 out of 5 stars beautifully disturbing!.......2006-08-30

the album may not be in heavy rotation in my system but it's avant/ art rock sound is pleasing to my ears. I dont have a favorite track yet, but if you like my bloody valentine, mazzy star, jesus and the mary chain then you should like le volume courbe.
