Frankly, it feels a bit weird to listen to Edith Piaf perform in English. There aren't many singers so associated with a country as Piaf is with France. And yet she did record some of her hits in English in an attempt to facilitate her career in the United States. While newcomers to the singer's oeuvre should start with her French albums, this CD is fascinating for advanced Piaf listeners. Most of the sides were cut 1950 and show Piaf in fine vocal form on tracks such as "La vie en rose" (she switched from English to French for the title) and "Autumn Leaves" ("Les feuilles mortes"), a strangely compelling hybrid that alternates between French and English. Piaf was certainly more at ease singing in French, but her charismatic sense of drama could break through in just about any language. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Huge surprise!.......2007-05-12

What an unbelievable surprise - and joy - to discover Edith Piaf singing in English, and sometimes songs which she never sang in French! Her accent is ten times worse than mine... but the voice remains, outstanding!

Better in French.......2007-01-06

I think Edith Piaf was one of the world's great chanteuses. However, she loses a lot in translation. Whereas her songs in French are effective, touching and powerful, in English they are somewhat bland. Perhaps this has to do with the translations which almost always water down the French. Perhaps it is because her command of English is not great. In any case, for the REAL Piaf, buy anything she recorded in French--you will be transported.

Handy reference for lyric meanings in English.......2005-12-13

This is a nice enough album. I think she sounds a lot nicer in French, but some of these songs are fun, and if you have enjoyed some of her original music and been curious what they might mean in English, this is one way to get a sense of them. Of course, it would be nicer if all the albums came with liner pages of lyrics but they don't. (Edith Piaf sings clearly enough in French that even an amateur language scholar can try to follow the songs by ear however.) I bought this album when I bought "The Voice of the Sparrow," and while I like that one a lot better, and can listen to it more, this one is handy to have. If you do like lyrics in translation, you might also like to check out the music of Joni James and Nana Mouskoura. Their voices are very different from hers, but the multi-lingual aspect is fun.

Another wonderful set of cd's from Krishna Das. The chanting is beautiful, the music sublime...It doesn't get any better than this. Another beautiful CD from a Master. My fiance and I have gotten addicted to Krishna Das & listen to his CD's every morning. You can't explain perfection.....you just listen and enjoy.

moving into peace.......2007-01-19

I own a yoga studio and teach several times a week. Krishna Das' music is always a favorite, but this CD in particular is perfect for a lively, upbeat yoga practice. My students connect with the beat, helping them move smoothly through the poses, connecting with their breath. As the chants become slower, more meditative, the practice also begins to slow. It is a wonderful transition for any yoga class. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful!.......2007-01-10

This is my first experience with Krishna Das. I've enjoyed listening to this CD very much. I feel calm during and after I listen to the beautiful voices.

From her early days in the bathhouses to her rise as the star of her own concert film, Bette Midler has always brought a campy playfulness to her performances. Experience the Divine focuses on her radio hits for the bulk of its resources, although the kicky "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" is here. Midler's voice easily adapts itself to the material she's performing: "When a Man Loves a Woman" is charged with a raw sensuality whereas "In My Life," is as tender as a lullaby. The recent standards are here, "From a Distance" and "Wind Beneath My Wings," along with her star-making turn, "The Rose." Whether she's handling Cole Porter ("Miss Otis Regrets") or the Beatles, Bette Midler's voice is dynamic and expressive, according to the needs of the song. This astute ability to interpret without always going for the kill makes her versions of her chosen material some of the best ever recorded. --Steve Gdula

Greatest Hits-Experience the Divine.......2007-01-10

Midler is Divine, one of a handful of singers that can get you off the couch and singing like you think you have a voice. She gets you hopping in this CD and intertwines some of her greatest ballads with her most popular rock tunes. Its a sweet rollercoaster ride that you don't want to end.

Truly Devine by Ms. Devine Herself.......2006-08-29

This album of Bette Midler's Greatest Hits is just that, plain and simple. You cannot play it enough, as she is truly one of the most talented singers / actress / and gifted person on the face of the earth. Rarely do I feel the emotion of anyone's performance in voice that is as moving as from her. This album gives you just a taste of the range of talent this true star really has!

Experience the Divine.......2006-02-25

Although I bought the album particularly for 3 of my favorite Bette Midler songs, I was also treated to a few other good ones.

Bette is the best.......2006-02-25

Bette Midler is one of those singers that you really can't compare to anyone else. She is just so HER on whatever project she does and we just love HER!!

A GOOD COMPILATION!.......2006-01-25

A wonderful and unique artist and a true star; this collection shows off Bette Midler's talents. Personally I miss "Beast of
burden" from her "No Frills"-album. The song was quite a hit
in Europe. It's about time for a volume 2 of this lady's
greatest -she has recorded several great songs since this
compilation came out.

Cynical types will accuse Disney of milking the "greatest" concept until it's drier than Tinkerbell's fairy dust ("Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious," "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da," and "Heigh Ho" were hits off of Vol. 1; "Bare Necessities," "It's a Small World," and "Some Day My Prince Will Come" stole the show on Vol. 2), but a glimpse of this installment's track listing is all it'll take to squash their suspicions. Once again running reverse-chronologically, Vol. 3 opens with Jonatha Brooke's gorgeously achy ballad "I'll Try," from 2002's arguably not-so-great Return to Neverland, and gradually reaches back through the years to re-raise the curtain on Toy Story 2 ("When She Loved Me," performed by Sarah McLachlan), The Lion King ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight"), Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews's classic "A Spoonful of Sugar"), Pinocchio ("Give a Little Whistle"), and a bundle of treasured others, bottoming out at 1933's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" from The Three Little Pigs. Vol. 3 is not without its weak moments--would a G-rated movie-goers' poll produce Beauty and the Beast's "Gaston" or The Hunchback of Notre Dame's "Topsy Turvy" on a hits list? Seems unlikely. Still, the bulk of these tracks are, as the included Little Mermaid song goes, "Part of Your World," and the spread of decades they represent proves their staying power. Don't expect Disney to latch the lid on its inexhaustible archives until a dozen or so of these records, each as strong as the next, beckon you back for more. --Tammy La Gorce

This Disney CD represents the "leftovers" that didn't make it on Vol 1 and Vol 2 of this series. Although it has some of my favorites, I don't listen to the entire CD often. Disney could have done a better job of editing the which sound files should make the cut on this one. Still, it's nice to have all 3 CDs.

The very epitome of "been there, done that," LL Cool J also has the distinction of having originated (or, at least, being the most proficient at) half a dozen rap styles. On the hits collection All World, all the phases are represented: he was "hard as hell" on 1986's "Rock the Bells" and again on 1991's "Mama Said Knock You Out"; on 1987's "I Need Love," he was the painfully sappy precursor to Boyz II Men, but he had the formula down pat for 1990's "Around the Way Girl" (and then he went sappy again on 1995's "Hey Lover," a collaboration with the Boyz); and 1988's "Going Back to Cali" found him stylin'. He's had his ups and downs and managed to produce only a couple of truly killer albums, but LL's first dozen years show that he's left his stamp on nearly every facet of the hip-hop world. --Randy Silver

Customer Reviews:

The greatness of Uncle L is based on the first half of his career........2007-04-24

The second half was hit or miss. But for the most part all of LL's biggest hits from the mid 80's to the mid 90's are here.

A Ten Year Span Of Greatest Hits (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-03-15

Not many people can have an excellent career like LL Cool J. From 1985 to 1995, Uncle L has really given us many rememerable jams for us to kick it with. From old school tracks like "Rock The Bells" and "I'm Bad", LL has proven why he is one of the best of the 80's & 90's. Back in 1990 when I was a kid, one of the first rap songs I heard was "Mama Said Knock You Out", and every time I play that song, it always bring back memories. "Back Seat Of My Jeep" is another classic single that I found to be one of my favorites from this album.

I do have a few guilty pleasures on this album. "Going Back To Cali" is one of them (possibly because of my love for that state). And the female songs like "Jingling Baby" the smooth "Hey Lover" is more that I had an enjoyment for. And the pop song that still gets play on the radio frequently "Loungin (Who Do You Luv Remix)" is another great addition. There are a few songs that are missing (just like almost every greatest hits album), like "Pink Cookies..." and "I'm That Type Of Guy", but I'm not going to sweat that. This album is still excellent for a ten year span of LL. If you're a fan of 80's and 90's rap, don't hesitate to pick this up here. I really started getting into him when he dropped "The G.O.A.T." and thought this CD would help me catch up with his earlier work. Now only if his most recent CD's were half as good as this here.

Peace!

Don Ho - Greatest Hits.......2005-09-01

This album set the mood for the Hawaiian luau I threw and was very relaxing.

Suck 'em Up!.......2003-11-06

There is no definitive Don Ho & the Aliis anthology... it's a crime, for sure. The next best thing is to buy GREATEST HITS, TINY BUBBLES and THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM, all three on CD, all three to be found used on Amazon.com for a cheap cover.

GREATEST HITS was released, originally, in 1969, and is a compilation of Don Ho hits and favorites from the apex of his career as a singer, songwriter, performer. A lot of people hate Don Ho because of childhood memories of schlock; more appropriately, however, he's the next step after Martin Denny, and his act was influenced by Elvis's success with BLUE HAWAII (probably Presley's best selling album ever). In 1965, Capitol Records' subsidiary Tower Records threw out one of the most interesting compilations of Hawaiian Lounge with the release of an LP titled WAIKIKI SWINGS. This seems to be the first album to present Don Ho to a mainland audience, under the guise of a liner note claiming that, "Don Ho, Kui & Nani Lee, and other Hawaiian Mods are all here." With a more 'In-Crowd' tailoring than that of previous imported slack key/steel guitar records, WAIKIKI SWINGS is a fantastic example of Elvis meets Kui Lee... no doubt actual Mods will take real offense and consider this whole idea stupid. But, Lounge collectors, Surf/Garage aficionados and even Mods that have a sense of humor (a rare, but existing breed) may have no problem connecting the dots and appreciating Don Ho's aesthetic without pretense. Don himself has referred to Kui Lee as the "John Lennon of Hawaii"; Lee died of cancer in 1966 after only one album, and Don Ho would be the one to take his music to a worldwide audience (Kui Lee represents a third of the songwriter credits on this CD, including the incredible "I'll Remember You").

DON HO -- GREATEST HITS! needs more songs... okay. But, the whole CD flies by, and every song is skillfully performed (which is what a greatest-hits package should be). The live cuts are reminiscent of the old-time Waikiki Beachboys and their ukulele parties on the Moana Pier. Don Ho fits their mold and has made a life for himself living at the beach. "E' Lei Ka Lei Lei (Beach Party Song)" and "By the Shack, by the Sea" are charming representations of the Beachboy lifestyle and musicality. Don Ho & the Aliis, young singers like Robin Wilson (A&M), Angel Pablo and Sam Kapu, Jr. were on stage at Duke Kahanamoku's having a ball every night. During his years at Duke's, Don literally erupted on the national show biz scene, first and most suddenly in a two-week engagement at Hollywood's ultra-posh Cocoanut Grove in 1966. His opening night was a triumph, breaking all previous attendance records. The excessive drinking probably didn't sit well with pot-smoking hippies, but Hawaiian Beachboy-types and Lounge crooners were not known to be light on their livers.

Here's hoping Don Ho's whole catalogue sees reissue soon. Suck 'em Up!

Frighteningly Barbaric Sounds.......2003-11-03

While Mr. Ho probably represents the ultimate in authentic Hawaiian traditional singing, I can't say I really go for that kind of rough, old-fashioned folk music, with its macho depictions of intertribal warfare and patriarchal oppressiveness. Call me a wimp, but I much prefer the softer smoother sounds of early 1960s "lounge" music, with all those cool daddy-o lyrics and mellow instrumental accompaniment. You just can't beat something like Les Elgart or Dick Hyman for soothing background to your next full-tux cocktail party.

Top quality Salsa in an unforgettable selection.......2007-05-25

As you can see, it would result unuseful any speech about the quality and historical significance of all these top songs and also about the artists (all of them stars around the world). Everyone is a must-have song in any collection of this kind of music. It is a lovely selection recorded with original sound and in a very danceable sequence. Very difficult to say what is better than other but the only song a little bit "out-of-focus" is "Lloraras" because of that it has been recorded live and the sound is not original (but excellently interpreted by Oscar de Leon, as well). Strongly recommended!!!

Outstanding!!!.......2007-04-25

This is a release that has got to be heard...a smoker front to back. Every single track included is among the best salsa ever, every single track is on the mark. All of the songs were top hits on their own and are now included here in one cd. The line-up alone is testament to it's dancing power. The songs in this cd have both Puerto Rico's grooving criollo style of salsa and New York's funkier, jazzy style. From New York City: Ruben Blades, Cheo Feliciano, Hector Lavoe; Jose 'El Canario' Alberto; Tito Puente/Tony Vega; Richie Ray; Larry Harlow; Ismael Miranda. From Puerto Rico, Marvin Santiago; Willie Rosario; Frankie Ruiz; Andy Montanez; Orquesta La Solucion; Tommy Olivencia. Lastly, from Venezuela the great, Oscar D'Leon makes an appearance to round out the cast to get "your feet a poppin and da booty hoppin". You owe to yourself to check this one out. Highly recommended.

DEFINITELY A MUST-HAVE!.......2006-06-22

This is one of the best salsa cd's. It has the best artists and the best songs all in one album, which is hard to find now days. Compared to other salsa cd's I have bought this is the most complete by far.....

Piazzolla, el mejor tanguero.......2007-04-11

Es un deleite de sonido, brillante, inteligente, genial Tango de un maestro, música que viene del corazón... ¿puede haber algo mas sentido?

great.......2007-01-28

The best album by piazzolla I have played. the violin playing by antonio agri on milonga del angel is the very best and really captures the tango. My only regret is that the album did not include oblivion.

He's got the soul.......2003-07-02

Piazzola must be the devil.... cause he certainly captured the soul (of tango, that is!)

Brilliant music. Exceptional CD!

Simply the BEST for the Piazzolla neophyte!.......2000-12-21

I have more than ten Piazzolla CDs and this is my favorite. It's actually the first one of his that I ever bought, and I think that this is probably the best CD that a beginner to Piazzolla and Modern Argentine Tango could buy. It has a generous sampling of the several hundred songs that Astor Piazzolla wrote in his life, and it consists mainly of live recordings, which adds to the intensity of each piece. Interestingly enough, there are nearly 200 CDs of Piazzolla music (if not more), and even the songs in the ones recorded by Piazzolla himself vary significantly from album to album. This one, however, is a real joy and will get anyone's toes tapping.

Bravo Maestro!!.......2000-11-27

Oh dear God, how to describe the music that came out of this album? Maybe we should make an exception and allow a six star rating in this case. Astor Piazzolla is for me the best composer of the 20th century and one of the best of all time. The way he can make music dance in you head and trigger emotions from deep within you is stunning. It is impossible to describe the way he puts music together into some of the most powerful music ever heard and at the same time doing it in a way tango had never been done before. Maestro Piazzolla completely changed tango into something new, something some people don't even consider tango anymore. He'll shred your soul and make you lose all hope in your life and suddenly fill you with hope and a sense of awe. Every person who take music seriously and can appreciate art must own something by Astor Piazzolla; and feel the blessing of immersing in its brilliance.

Wonderful Songs, Strong voice.......2007-05-19

This album has many of his best songs. Well worth the cost. It will be a collector's item.

Wonderful.......2007-02-01

Charles Aznavour's music is beautiful, his songs are soulful, and the way he portrays them is heartfelt. We continue to listen to this album and look forward to enjoying others like it.

Formidable!.......2007-01-05

English version is almost as good as his french, but when he sings in french there is not enough stars.

Formidable.......2006-09-22

I saw Mr. Aznavour perform recently during his farewell tour. This CD will give me fond memories of the songs he sang in English. He is a wonderful performer in any language. This CD will give those who do not speak French access to the beautiful songs he has written and his unforgettable voice.

The french frank sinatra???.......2006-01-09

I got this CD because the cover looked interesting and well, based on my gut instinct i gave it a chance. It's OK
I mean i'm not a huge Sinatra fan and it sounds like that to me...a french sinatra in this case.

I guess you just have to be into it because in the end putting your tastes aside it's good.

Happy anniversary and la boheme are the highlights in my opinion.
