The revisionist take on the Rat Pack's razor-witted King of Cool reveals a Dean Martin who was considerably more complex than the Titan of Tipplers legend; a man who would just as soon retire to his room with a tumbler of milk to watch a TV Western than prowl the Strip with his famous cohorts. That sublime, preternatural indifference is both underscored and belied with dizzying regularity on this good 30-track overview of Martin's singing career. The breezy hits "That's Amore" and "Volare" underscored his public staying power when many counted him out in the face of a surging 1950s youth market. He repeated the feat again with trademark effortlessness a decade later to knock no less than the Beatles off the top of the charts with the unlikely, if inviting schmaltz of "Everybody Loves Somebody." Ever informed by his warm, deceptive vocal ease, Martin's rich signature tunes are well-represented here. But the collection also spans enough lovable kitsch ("Mambo Italiano," "Little Old Wine Drinker Me") and unabashed romantic yearning ("Innamorata," "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On") to deepen the compelling mystery of one of pop music's most enduring ciphers. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars This is the best cd.......2007-05-14

I love this cd it is one of my favorites. It just puts you in a great place and I love singing all the songs. The sound of his voice is like melting butter and I could listen to this cd over and over and never get tired of it. If you only own one cd in your life I recomend this one. I bought one for my grandfather after I listened to it and he loves it to.

Happy with buy

1 out of 5 stars Omit One.......2007-03-13

There is no song worse to me than "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" and that one dud spoiled it for me. I hate that song so much.

The others are okay, but this one dud - that is the one song I never want to hear nor would I ever inflict it on anybody. It's heinous.

Amazon.com essential recording

Stephen Sondheim's Company still sounds as modern as it did when it opened in 1970. Donna McKechnie, Susan Browning, and Pamela Myers spoof the Andrews Sisters with gusto in the tongue-twisting "You Could Drive a Person Crazy," while Browning and Dean Jones's "Barcelona" is filled with longing and heartbreak. And, of course, Elaine Stritch reigns supreme, proving once more that you don't have to be the best singer to steal a musical. An extra track features Larry Kert (Tony in the original West Side Story) singing "Being Alive." Kert had replaced Jones early in the run but wasn't on the original cast recording. It would have been nice to finally get the lyrics, though. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Better than ever....Bobby baby!.......2007-07-13

COMPANY may have originally been introduced before its time back in the 70's but now we can see how timely and insightful and "right on" the book and lyrics really were and actually NOT ahead of there time at all.

Just gutsy enough to say it like it is/was at the time people didn't want to talk about such issues!

Of course Sondheim wrote this music so early in his career and yet it holds up so well today. Outstanding....Just "listen to the words" as one might say. An enjoyable task with the beautiful music and vocals on this outstanding CD

5 out of 5 stars Perfect.......2007-06-25

This is my favorite musical of all time. I get physically homesick for New York whenever I listen to this. Somehow Sondheim captures the feeling and the air in New York that makes me miss it everytime, and think of a way to find myself back there, especially with the song "Another Hundred People". Definitely one of the most truthful, life-changing musicals there are, and by far this recording is my favorite. I love the revival version as well, but for the real "feel" for this show, I recommend this recording above all others.

5 out of 5 stars AN ORIGINAL ,NOT TO BE COMPARED.......2007-02-22

with the current revival of this sondhiem/ furth show, i thought it would be great for me to review the original as it will be compared with the new revival. this version of company outranks all others. being a cast recording collector i have every english language album of this show.while i can pick specific things in all the cast recordings that i love, this one is by far my favorite. this is my very favorite sondhiem show.not as traditional as gypsy and not as complexed as pacific overtures, company's source material hits home and is told in a way very revolutionary for it's time and has not been replicated since then.the performances as amazing , even if the actors are not as in tune as we hope the actors seem so true to the characters that it doesent matter. every thing from the 1970's orchastrations to the wonderful characters make a perfect fit.this cast recording produces deifinitive versions fo some of sondhiem's best hits.elaine stritch in "the ladies who lunch", pamela myers in "another hundred people" and beth howland in "not getting married" make that list.the addition of the laerry kert version of "being alive" gives you only a taste of what the london recording sounds like.if you can find a copy it's worth a listen,although it is the same recording with replaced vocals be larry kert.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Ever.......2006-12-19

Company, the groundbreaking 1970 work from Stephen Sondheim, is one of the greatest shows in musical theatre history. It's only fitting that such a great show gets a truly great Original Cast Recording. The orchestrations on this recording are so much better than either the 1995 Broadway Revival recording, or the 1996 London recording that I wonder if it will ever be equaled.

The performances on this recording are also unequaled. Not only are the songs well sung, but they're extremely well acted. This is especially true of what has become one of Sondheim's classics, "The Ladies Who Lunch", performed admirably by Elaine Stritch. Other standout tracks are Beth Howland's version (the original) of "Getting Married Today", Dean Jones' stirring interpretaion of "Someone is Waiting" and Pamela Myers' stunning rendition of "Another Hundred People."

4 out of 5 stars My First Sondheim.......2006-07-25

This was the first Sondheim album I ever had, and I got hooked.
My only complaint is that the late, great Larry Kert, who took over for Dean Jones who left the show shortly after it opened (so soon in fact that Kert was nominated for the Tony), isn't on the recording. Jones is fine but Kert was even better. And of course this includes the now legendary version of The Ladies Who Lunch sung (?) by Elaine Stritch. But the star of the recording is Sondheim. It's a brilliant score!

5 out of 5 stars From the bottom of MY heart (I recommend).......2007-02-10

This CD is worth its money just for the song From The Bottom Of My Heart. Dammi,Dammi,Dammi is probably the best Italian love song by Dino, and certainly my favorite! Thus the other 15 songs are here absolutely free! Great deal, great sound, great Artist! The only weak point (which costs one star I have already deducted from the six it's worth): Take Me In Your Arms and Come Back To Sorrento are the same songs (performed in different languages) therefore should be separated. The editor of this CD (actually compilation and non-regular issue) should also made his mind what to include here: ITALIAN or ITALIAN LOVE songs; I'm affraid that Luna Mezzo Mare (Italian folk song) does not fit the LOVE criteria. Instead, I'll be very glad to see here O Marenariello (I Have But One Heart). Luna Mezzo Mare (like the other folk song Ma Come Bali Bella Bimba and famous Santa Lucia) may be included in the future Dino's Complete Italian Collection. Dreamer?

5 out of 5 stars Dean Martin Italian Love Songs.......2007-01-19

Great CD. Brings back the mood of that Italian holiday and the restaurants.

5 out of 5 stars The Epitome of Romance.......2007-01-16

If your italian, married or dating one, or looking to date one, these songs are GOLD! Every romantic needs this CD in their collection to study and enjoy the full-bodied flavor of the Master "Dino" crooning these masterpieces. They include a full range of emotions and temperments one experiences in the attraction, pursuit, capture and loss of the most desireable human condition... To Love and Be Loved. Only the Italians can express love in so many colors and only Dean Martin can vocalize them. Dino is tops and this CD is proof. A great addition to any collection of love songs or Dean Martin hits. Great listening...great mood music...by one of the greatest lovers can put you and yours in the sweetest of situations.

Curb Records has long specialized in low-budget repackagings of previously released material, and they certainly haven't gone out of their way with this 12-song Dean Martin compilation. Culled from his Capitol years, this does indeed feature some great moments--"That's Amore," "Volare," "Inamorata" and "Come Back to Sorrento" are all present and accounted for--and if you need a little Dino to spruce up a mix tape, this'll certainly do ya. However, Collectors Series offers much more bang for your buck, even if it costs a few extra dollars. --Dan Epstein

If you have forgotten how good Deano sang then you need a reminder.
This CD has all of his signature songs and many more which showcase
his rang and versitility. Get the music sit back and remember how good entertainers were in the 50's and 60's; this is a no brainer.

5 out of 5 stars Dean Martin "All-Time Greatest Hits".......2007-05-10

Yet another wonderful CD of Dean Martin. This too arrived very quickly.

4 out of 5 stars A solid Dino CD despite a disappointment here and there.......2006-04-19

I've owned this CD for over eight years now so I guess it's about time I reviewed it for Amazon. I have never let this one gather dust at the back of some shoe box in a closet somewhere. Indeed, just the opposite is true--whenever I feel anxious and just want some soothing, beautiful music to listen to in order to calm down I grab this CD and pop it into my CD player.

One reason why this song set never fails to sooth me is the beauty of the songs Dean Martin sings here. His voice is in excellent form and the musical arrangements are all very good, even if the horns are a little too loud at the beginning of "You Belong To Me." The song "Sway" is romantic, too; and "Standing On The Corner" is a classic '40s and '50s type crooner guy song about how beautiful women are.

The CD ends with "Come Back To Sorrento" which is somehow a type of flourishing last note for this song set. It fits in well and the songs have been very well organized.

Now I have to consider the other side of the coin. As Amazon notes, whichever group of people who made this CD could have (and should have) been more generous with the music we get here. Of course it's all great; but with 12 songs in 33 minutes they could have added at least one more song. The CD also represents only Dean's "all-time greatest hits" recorded during his contract with Capitol Records. I would say that for a few bucks more you should consider buying the CD entitled Dino: The Essential Dean Martin instead. That CD has selections from both the Capitol years and the Reprise years (after Dean left Capitol Records he recorded on the Reprise label). It's a much more comprehensive selection. But, if you're on a budget--or, if you don't know much about Dean Martin and just want an inexpensive CD to start out with, then maybe you should pick this CD after all. Just be aware that some will argue--with good reason--that the songs on this CD are not ALL of Dean Martin's "all-time greatest hits."

Similarly, the liner notes, although very well written by Don Ovens, do not discuss the work Dean did at Reprise Records. The history of Dean's professional career is encapsulated pretty nicely, however, in the one page essay. Songs credits are also given which is something I always like to see.

In short, this is a very relaxing CD full of beautiful music that is great for persons on a budget or people new to Dean who just want to try a Dean Martin CD without spending too much money. While it is not comprehensive, I also would recommend it for fans of classic pop vocals.

5 out of 5 stars Dean Martin CD.......2006-03-20

I loved it. I was searching for a song on that CD and found it. I listen to it all the time. Thank you for making it possible. I love my CD.

5 out of 5 stars Dean Martin.......2006-03-13

I bought this CD because of "Sway", but after hearing the rest of the selection, I can't decide which one is my favorite hits.This is the BEST CD in my jukebox. I never get tired of listening to Dean Martin. This is one of his best collections of greatest hits. Even my 9-mo. grandaughter will only go to sleep listening tom "Sway".

The thoroughly excellent sophomore release by the two best-looking members of Luna should make any fans who bemoaned that group's demise happy as hell with its lovingly crafted cocktail hour visions. Back Numbers offers up perfect rainy day music on every graceful, laconic song. The album recalls the sophisticated, decadent sounds of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra throughout. Unsurprisingly, Hazlewood is covered on one song here but this is no cheesy retro exercise; in fact, no one has mined this type of material with such originality since Nick Cave approached it in the 1980s. Each song is imbued with a subtly different style, with nods to the hazy psychedelic folk-rock of Opal and Clay Allison on numbers like "Say Goodnight" and the steampunk synth washes of Sonic Boom (who performs on the album) and Suicide on "Singer Sing." Other numbers like "The Sun Is Still Sunny"--awash in sophisticated strings, hushed dual harmonies, a dash of piano and Mr. Wareham's warm and melodic guitar lines--don't sound like anyone else, at all. Huzzah! --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Hooks into You.......2007-06-21

Play this on the laptop through iTunes and the genre comes up as "easy listening". In fact, Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips were half of alt-rock favourites Luna who folded in 2005.

Here they position themselves either as terminally retro or somewhere ahead of the curve. They splice their originals with back numbers from Lee Hazlewood, Donovan Leitch and The Troggs. The pick of these is Britta's soaring take on Hazlewood's You Turn my Head Around.

Crystal Blue R.I.P. calls to mind contemporary singer-songwriter Stephin Merritt (of The Magnetic Fields). As does Dean's deadpan intonation on Words You Used to Say: "Glasses dirty, the drinks are dead. Happy birthday, have this you said/We're color coded, we're coded red. Those are words you used to say".

Best original is the velvety pop of The Sun is Still Sunny, with its laconic "inside my suitcase an orchestra plays". Boldest whimsy is Britta skipping through the cult 1960s TV-show theme White Horses. This attractive album hooks into you like a TV fishing show.

(Canberra Times June 2007)

3 out of 5 stars Getting warmer... warmer... warmer..........2007-05-02

This CD is a solid set of songs that maintains continuity throughout, a rarity these days. A caveat however is that one person's "understated" is another's "boring". I would definitely rate this CD as understated but this is not a bad thing at all. The production is tastefully done, virtually all the songs feature a lovely stereo tremolo keyboard part to establish the mood lighting. Ultimately, this is a CD that demands to be listened to through headphones to demonstrate the amount of work that went into the elaborately constructed sonic space (see "Teen Angel"). Some songs however have a slightly unfinished feel to them, like demos that were only worked over once or twice. As one reviewer noted, the songs are somewhat sugary and while I agree it should be noted that they are not saccharine (an important distinction).

Songs that stick in my head are:
"You Turned My Head Around" features a deliciously 60s style, French girl chorus. I think this could have been a radio hit had Dean and Britta tweaked the bridge and finished writing the lyrics. I like it anyway though.

In "White Horses", Britta turns what would be a rather standard song into something else with her phrasing and delivery. The mini-chorus "on white horses, snowy white horses..." is the best simple vocal hook I've heard in recent memory. The song dissolves into a sonic farewell of keyboards, unfortunately not going anywhere too far but at least gives the impression that you've _been_ somewhere.

"Me and My Babies" has Dean singing on the verses before Britta comes in with some dreamy backing vocals on the chorus. A nicely floaty and meditative piece but again it feels unfinished.

The trend is obvious here. Back Numbers is a good CD but it would have benefitted from tighter songwriting and more fleshed out ideas. Oh yeah, and my girlfriend would like to point out that the "nah-nah-nah" section of "Say Goodnight" was lifted directly from Luna's "Romantica". These shortcomings aside, I think it will make a perfect lazy summer day soundtrack.

4 out of 5 stars Seduced after 2 listens.......2007-04-29

Highly recommended for fans of quiet, catchy, intelligent pop. And absolutely meant for cocktails on a sultry evening. I liked it on first listen and was ultimately seduced by the record, catching myself humming some of the tunes on my way to work and other things that I don't normally do. The combination of Dean's Les Paul sound that characterized earlier Luna work, the sexiness of Britta's voice, and the nice addition of vibes and various other backing instruments (including electronic stuff that I normally don't endorse) are a great combo, and Wareham's wit and vocals keep the affair from getting too sugary as some other reviewers have suggested.

Not quite Luna, but I guess that's the point, isn't it?

Oh, and here's a bonus - Be sure to catch them on tour - the material from Back Numbers sounds great live, and their earlier Dean & Britta standards (Ginger Snaps, Night Nurse, Knives from Bavaria) really come alive in concert. Plus you'll get a couple of Luna and Galaxie 500 numbers.

4 out of 5 stars Dream a Little Dream.......2007-04-21

Great follow up to L'Aventura which was a personal favorite from say the past five years. Back Numbers picks it right back up and sounds like Mazzy Star on Prozac. The harmonies are just about perfect esp on "Words You Used To Say" Other fav tracks are "Singer Sing" and "Our Love Will Still Be There." Although "You Turned My Head Around" shows Britta's vocal range it's a bit jarring. Overall -- GREAT CD!

As a fan of Luna, I was underwhelmed by Dean and Britta's first CD. This time around, this is a much better CD -- there's a concerted effort to flesh out the sound of each track. But the tracks are still too whispery and cute and lovey for me. It sounds like they are creating these tracks for each other while they look into each others' eyes while sitting on the floor in their living room, if you know what I mean. If Dean werent on this CD I'd be giving it 2 stars.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful - no other word for it.......2007-05-30

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A must for both casual and die-hard Western fans. Great even if your sense of nostalgia doesn't reach that far back (like me; I'm 22). I love the combination of slow ballads and fast, jumpy songs.

5 out of 5 stars More Momories of Westerns.......2007-03-09

Boy, do these bring back memories of some of the Great Westerns of the 50's. We sit and listen to the songs and think of the movies and the TV shows that they are from. We can remember who starred in the movies and how the "Sons of the Pioneers" entered the stage to sing.
This is a GREAT CD.

5 out of 5 stars Old West Nostalgia.......2006-10-29

For anyone old enough to remember all the great Old West TV shows and movies from the same era, this CD is bound to bring you lots of fond memories and relaxing pleasure. What's best, the artists are all the originals; there are no remakes. Plenty of tunes are on this CD. It's well worth the price and the time.

1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing.......2006-10-24

The quality of the samples is better than the quality of the recordings.

5 out of 5 stars I Look Toward Home.......2006-10-05

This album takes me back to Texas. "The Sons Of Katie Elder" sung by Johnny Cash and "Nevada Smith" sung by Merle Kilgore sound good but are a bit modern. "The Searchers" sung by the Sons Of The Pioneers really hits home. As the sun sets and the days grow short I ride away and I look toward home.

Amazon.com

Based on Nicholas Sparks' novel, director Nick Cassavetes film spins the bittersweet tale of a 60-year romance, as seen from the polar perspectives of its promising youth and the travails of an old age cursed by Alzheimer's. Its soundtrack effectively echoes those polar dramatic concerns, with composer Aaron Zigler's gentle orchestral score largely giving voice to the character's melancholy present, while a rich, well-chosen slate of vintage material by Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller imparts a restless energy to their youth. There's a certain schmaltz to much of Zigman's work here, yet cues like "House Blues/The Porch Dance.." and "Noah's Journey" argue he's achieved something more elusive than mere melodramatic wallpaper with the deceivingly difficult task at hand; it can't be easy to have your work seasoned with the likes of Ellington's sassy "Alabamy Home" and Goodman's still-vibrant "One O'Clock Jump." Sharply contrasting versions of "I'll Be Seeing You" by Holiday and Jimmy Durante bookend the soundtrack, perfectly evoking the story's alternating shades of hope and fading nostalgia and framing Zigman's understated work in the bargain. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Based on the best selling novel by Nicholas Sparks ("A Walk To Remember", "Message In A Bottle"), "The Notebook" is the story of Noah and Allie, teenage lovers torn apart by WWII and Allie's parents' demands to marry a respectable lawyer. After 14 years apart, they meet again and rekindle their true love. Starring Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner, and Gena Rowlands. The soundtrack is a propelling force. In addition to classic WWII era pieces, Aaron Zigman's score suites enhance the record with beautifully dramatic themes. Score performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

5 out of 5 stars Touching.......2007-07-04

There isn't much I can say about this beautiful movie, except that it was so touching!
It say's go for the "true love", settle for nothing else no matter what may be in store, because love that is "true" and as beautiful as their's was, is a rare thing!
I absolutely loved the ending.
I also loved that a movie CAN be truly wonderful, beautiful and touching WITHOUT grafic "sex scenes!" Also sadly a rare thing in movies today.

Ever seen "Hanover Street?" Equally beautiful. No SEX scenes either!

5 out of 5 stars Pays music a complement. I love the classical pieces!.......2007-05-27

I do not have the soundtrack to The Notebook, but I do have the movie itself. Having said that, every song is wonderful. Some music carries with it, a wealth of emotion and a sense of timelessness. I love all of the classical pieces , perhaps the best, in this particular movie. Classical has never been my speed when it comes down to music, but something about this movie's classical masterpieces struck a chord in me...made me smile and maybe even sniffle a bit. If you are a fan of the movie, I'm sure you would love its soundtrack too. Music like this is ideal for a romantic evening or just for pleasure listening. You don't know if you'll like something until you give it a chance! So give this a chance!!

5 out of 5 stars the Notebook soundtrack (Audio CD).......2007-05-13

This is a beautiful collection of music from the movie, The Notebook. Most is instrumental, very relaxing, as well as lively at times. Two renditions of "I'll Be Seeing You" are included.

5 out of 5 stars Very Nice.......2007-03-30

I really enjoyed listening to the soundtrack, but I'm also a big fan of background music and this cd was great for both. Listening to the cd took me back to the movie and reminded me how much I enjoyed it, but I also put the cd on during a nice meal with friends and it worked out very well, they all enjoyed the music.

5 out of 5 stars A sweeping, emotional standout!.......2007-01-11

The music from The Notebook brings you right back to the film, capturing your heart and soul. It's music will roll live waves through your soul and bring you from nostalgia to your own feelings of love and desire. The selections, arrangements and orchestrations are to be admired, and Mr. Zigman is to be praised. This soundtrack truly completes the legacy of "The Notebook".

5 out of 5 stars A Solid Band Finding Improvement By Learning From Their Mistakes!.......2007-06-21

Rewind to October 10, 2000, post-grunge band Collective Soul released their most pop-oriented album to date, their fifth album entitled "Blender." In an effort to maintain commercial success, Collective Soul attempted to target a younger audience by altering their sound as well as their look. Though the 11 songs on "Blender," along with the rest of the band's music catalog, is far superior than the competition, the album clearly fell short of the band's potential.

Their sixth studio album entitled "Youth," which was released on November 16, 2004, is considered by many as their "big comeback album." The record is similar to "Blender" in its production, however, the sound showcases a healthy balance between their old and new sounds. Highlights of the album include the catchy and impressive "Perfect To Stay," the flawless "How Do You Love," and "Under Heaven's Skies" as well as a song displaying the band's signature sound, "Counting The Days." Below, please find the rating for each song individually:

Better Now - 10/10

There's A Way - 9/10

Home - 8/10

How Do You Love? - 10/10

Him - 6/10

Feels Like (It Feels Alright) - 6/10

5 out of 5 stars best collective soul album yet.......2006-12-01

I've been a fan of CS from the first album on, and this is their best, in my opinion. It has that unique sound to it that only this band can pull off. You know, that light and airy quality to their music, and yet it has a deeper thoughtful quality to both the music and the lyrics. I've always admired the fact that CS has not adapted their music at all to the bubble-gum mainstream garbage out on the air waves today. Their music today sounds the same as it did in the beginning. And that's not a sign of stagnancy. They have evolved and matured in the landscape of their own sound, not anyone else's sound. Basically, they haven't sold out and conformed to the top 40 crowd. Their new album, Youth, is a wonderful collection of sincere, unique melodies with lyrics that evoke a sense of love, community and definitely spirituality. My personal favorite tracks are There's A Way, Perfect To Stay, and General Attitude. No explicit or immoral messages on this album. Just peace, love and harmony in the form of good post-alt rock and roll. Above all, this album is fun. And shouldn't that be the reason we listen to music in the first place?

5 out of 5 stars Great Collective Soul CD.......2006-11-12

A must for CS lovers! Not a bad song on it!!!!! Ranges from touching ballads to great rock!!!

5 out of 5 stars Their best album yet.......2006-09-03

As a long-time Collective Soul fan, I can assure you this is their strongest full album yet with a number of top-rated songs. Great, great stuff. The only thing better is seing it done live. A must-have for fans of great music.

3 out of 5 stars 3-1/2 stars -- Calm, cool and collected...sort of.......2006-08-10

It's been a long time since people had heard from the quintet known as Collective Soul; in fact, I wasn't aware they'd made a comeback at all until I saw them perform on the Tonight Show a month or so ago. I don't remember what song they did (I think it was "Better Now", though), but they sounded pretty decent, so I decided to check out Youth to see if they still had it.

Well, yes and no. For one thing, it's surprising that Ed Roland and the boys left Atlantic Records and jumped to an indie label for this album. But for the most part, things do sound fine. The melodies are as good as they've always been, but the lyrics...well, not to start an argument, but I was initially wondering why they titled the album Youth, and after listening to it, I came to the conclusion that it could be because some of the songs sound like a youth wrote them ("Feels Right (It Feels All Right)" and "Under Heaven's Skies" come readily to mind).

There are a few other songs that are lyrically challenged, but thankfully there are more songs that sound better, like "Satellite", "General Attitude" and especially "How Do You Love" (actually, the lyrics in the latter don't look like much on paper either, but it's all in the way Ed sings them). In short, Youth feels more like a safe album than a truly great album. There isn't a "Shine" or "December" to be found on here, but it's still above-average. If you're a hardcore Collective Soul fan, you'll either love it or hate it, so pick it up and make your own judgment.

Generally, a Best Of album provides a degree of disappointment. All the best songs, in one's opinion, are not included. This album, however, exceeds all expectations. The whimsy, deep emotion, and energy generated by this marvelous singer is here evident in every song. In addition, you find that your personal list of Best Of Dean Martin songs grows as you listen.

5 out of 5 stars Sway with me!!.......2006-08-22

5 out of 5 stars The Master Of Suave And The King Of Cool: Dean Martin.......2005-08-14

For more than 50 years the world has had the very great privilege of being entertained by the one and only Dean Martin. Fans of all ages have enjoyed Dean's undeniable charm and cool wit, and his place in American pop culture is undisputed. He was part of one of the most successful comedy teams ever, made numerous movies including comedies, dramas, and westerns, had a TV show that was highly rated and ran for almost two decades, performed live in concert to millions of adoring fans, and was a cornerstone of one of the most hip and talented group of men the world has ever seen, The Rat Pack! All that said, it was Dean's elegant voice and easy phrasing and style that was the common thread that ran through all of his many outstanding accomplishments.

This 2 disk set, "Dino: The Essential Dean Martin" (Special Platinum Edition), is a wonderful gathering of tunes that represent Dean's many years as a recording artist and bring back memories of a time when his velvety tones and suave ways enchanted listeners everywhere. There is something in this set for everyone. Songs like 'That's Amore' and 'Standing On The Corner' reflect the fun, joyous side of Dean, while his versions of 'Return to Me' and 'Volare' epitomize the deep passion and yearning we all feel when were in love. If you like to swing, look no further than 'Ain't That a Kick in the Head', my favorite Dean Martin song. 'Memories Are Made of This', 'You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You', and his signature song 'Everybody Loves Somebody' are also great tunes, and Dean's treatments are truly unforgettable. With the addition of the bonus disk this set is a great choice for any music collector. Young and old alike enjoy and treasure Dean Martin's music for good reason, it is truly timeless. If you are already a Dean Martin fan, I guess all of this is old news and I am just preaching to the choir, but if you're not a Dean Martin fan yet, then this excellent representation of his musical career is the perfect beginning to your Dean Martin music collection.

Another singer that I also listen to is Monte Procopio. If you enjoy the Big Band sound with swinging arrangements his CD "Swingin' With Style" would also be a good listen.

4 out of 5 stars Dean Martin Review.......2005-07-28

I have always wanted to have a Dean Martin Cd and when this came out I snapped it up immediately. I have not been disappointed.
I liked the side where Dean sings by himself, I thought there was too much talking and noise on the live CD.

4 out of 5 stars Petula Takes Dusty to Music School.......2007-06-10

I bought this CD for two reasons. One for the stunning cover of Petula Clark and the other is Petula doing a song with her 60's rival Dusty Springfield. Incredibly the song has never been released until now!

5 out of 5 stars Duets with Petula Clark.......2007-05-16

This is a must have for any fan of Petula Clark. This represents some of her finest work. Her ability to harmonize with the partner solidifies her place among the finest recording artists of all time. While all the tracks are exceptional, the #s with Dusty Springfield, Peggy Lee, and Andy Williams are Grammy material. She actually wrote the song with Andy just this last year. What a talent....

4 out of 5 stars A must buy for Petula diehard fans.......2007-05-08

A product such as this is clearly aimed at the diehards market. A collection of rarities comprising mostly live duets with other established artistes from 60s and 70s TV, "Corner Of The Sky" is the standout track here. Dusty Springfield is in top form, her vocals from a 1974 recording session as gorgeous and perfectly nuanced as ever. Petula Clark added her own vocals over Dusty's incomplete recording quite recently to fulfill a deeply held desire to have sung with Dusty while she was still alive and the result is - barring some awkward phrasing by Petula on the first chorus - simply smashing.

"Baby It's Cold Outside" (with Rod McKuen) is also great - it works so much better than Rod's duet of the same song with Dusty on his late 70s Christmas TV special because this kind of song suits Petula so much better than Dusty. Other special highlights for me include the incredibly gritty "Can't Get You To Love Me" with Gilbert O'Sullivan which proves Petula's situational rock credibility and her well matched duet of "I'm A Woman/Wedding Bell Blues" with the late great Peggy Lee.

There're other good stuff with Harry Belafonte and Bobby Darin, but I'd be lying if I said the album is devoid of turkeys - the Andy Williams number in particular is a low point.

All in, "Duets" is a must buy for Petula diehard fans.

5 out of 5 stars A FRESH BREATH OF AIR.......2007-04-11

Nothing Petula Clark does can be wrong. From her very beginnings she was way ahead of the crowd making versions of continental hits a specialty of the European hit parade, transcending borders and gaining fame and recognition everywhere except-where else?!?- the US... Even though she was already well established in the rest of the world as one of England's top chanteuses in the early 60's , it was'nt until "DOWTOWN" that she finally became a household name in Peoria. This collection will most likely appeal to her fans only, though there are plenty of other well known artists here to appeal to a wide audience-not just "Downtowners"

5 out of 5 stars Brand New Petula & Dusty! WOW.......2007-04-01

This Cd is well worth the purchase if only for the brand new duet by Petula and Dusty (that history is written about in another review, I won't bore you with it again) but I will bore with HOW GREAT IT IS! While I am tempted to be sad there are not 11 more duets by Dusty and Petula on this cd, I will rave about this great song and it's great singers. The balance of cd is also nice, but the Duet with Dusty is grand.
