I have always loved this woman and the songs she sang.  Her music was a big part of my past and since you tube I have been able to see and hear some of the songs that made her who she is.

He has been around for awhile but never made it big because I'm sure of young pop/rock country music.  He is an older artist that should definetly be given a chance for anyone who wants to hear the sound of true country music.  He has a smooth and mellow voice not unlike Ray Price.  Great singer!

This is a wonderful collection by a terribly underrated singer from the big band era. My only complaints lie in Sony's compilation of the material. It would have been far preferable had the songs been in chronological order. Instead they bounce around from the forties to the sixties and back again. Also, given the short duration of the two CD's, I can imagine that all the tracks would have fit on one CD. Finally, there seems to be some minor distortion to the track "When They Ask About You" with the Jimmy Dorsey orchestra. This may be a result of the original source, as I don't have a copy of this song on any Jimmy Dorsey CD with which to compare.

These minor quibbles aside, I still really enjoy this CD. Kitty has a wonderful voice, and it's too bad we don't hear more about her, as we do other singers of the era, such as Peggy Lee and Doris Day.

Arthur Prysock was a wonderful singer who didn't get enough credit when he was alive.  This album is just a taste of his beautiful voice.

I had his CD when it first came out and for some reason I lost it. So I decided to buy it again. He is one of British talents and amazing singer.

Again, he is a great singer and performer.  His music is clear, relative.  His voice outstanding.  I enjoyed this CD very much.

This was my intro to this truly gifted singer.  This was a rediscovery of that intro and it holds up this many years later.  I have no doubt if I were to put this away for another 20 yrs I'd feel the same!

Loved him in the 70's, and still love him today.  I actually listen to him more than I listen to any new artist around right now.

I was fortunate to see him in concert years ago when he did the Teen Idol's Tour.  He was great - both his singing and his looks. [wink, wink]

If you're a fan and haven't purchased this, you should!

A very popular artist (ahead of his time) with a big hit with this music from the late 1970's. A classic.

I am partial to these old time recordings- probably because I am old!
If you are interested in music of other eras, you willo appreciate this one

There are some "good old tunes" in this collection.  But, the best of JB lies in the past.  I enjoy her as a folk singer.  When she reaches beyond that pure genre her voice and musical talents remain the same, but, the styles and format just do not produce the same magic.

Listening to this album again reminds me of how a singer can sing loud without sounding like she is screaming.  It is good to hear the classic rock again.

Isabel Rose isn't just a modern singer trying to tap into the magic of the great American Song Book. Sadly, that's the last resort of old pop singers these days, when they've grown older and want to show that they have class. It takes more guts for artists who start out recording these songs, because it shows that these songs are they're first love and passion ... not a gimmick to sell CDs to senior citizens. If you close your eyes and listen to Isabel sing these wonderful songs, you'd swear she was a contemporary with the likes of Judy Garland, Julie London, Peggy Lee, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, and Ella Fitzgerald. Also, with her forays into the 60's and 70's, she goes toe-to-toe with Diana Ross, and Tony Tennille. She has two GREAT versions of Reflections, on this album. One is traditional, and the other one has a dance music vibe, but it's done so well that it's an improvement over the other one.

When I was a kid (I'm 68 now.), my family inherited several 78 rpm records from my grandfather. Among them were some of Dorothy Shay. We really enjoyed them. I was curious as to whether those recordings were available in a new format, so I was delighted to find them on Amazon. Apparently made from the original masters, these CDs capture the beautiful voice and intonations that were somewhat obscured on those old, scratchy records. Several of these songs were new to me, and some I had heard elsewhere but not from Dorothy Shay. All in all, it is a wonderful thing to have these recordings. Ms Shay was such a good singer that it is a bit sad that she was only permitted to publish humorous songs, but they are great fun, and her lovely voice adds splendidly to their enjoyment.

This is great and timeless music that triggers some great memories. This is the sound from the past that still has appeal and invariably provokes an attempt to sing along.

This singer has one of the great voices of the 21st century.
