Editorial Reviews
Nascimentos Distinctive Songs and Vocal Interpretations Set Him Apart from Other Brazilian Popular Artists and Others Worldwide. The Acclaim He Has Garnered Within Brazil and around the World Comes from his Vocal Virtuosity, his Unique Compositional Concepts and on the Emotive Strength of his Sound and Lyrics. His Style Has Been Described as "haunting, Hypnotic, Heartbreaking and Epic". This is the First to Cover his Golden Period of 1969-78 When He Recorded for his Favourite Label, odeon Brazil. The Eighteen Amazing Songs Include Many of his Biggest Hits. Not Rooted in Bossa Or Samba, "The Essential Collection" Introduces the Uninitiated to an Artist that Has as Much to Do with Folk Music Heritage and Baroque Choirs from his Hometown of Minas Gerais as He Has with South American Folklore, Pop and Jazz Music. Nascimento is a Unique Brazilian Artist and Next to Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque and Gilberto Gil, He is One of the Four Musical Gods of his Generation.

Bubblegum? Sez Who?.......2007-04-22
And she was already an accomplished musician at 16; she was discovered, through several piano demos of hers that were circulating, by none other than celebrated jazz master Quincy Jones, who acted as her producer for the first several years of her career. So let me remind you, Quincy Jones is not generally considered a bubble gum kind of guy. For your further consideration, this collection includes the melodic "California Nights," and "Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows," from this early phase of her career; their intonation and phrasing are clean and crisp, almost jazzy. You'll also find "You Don't Own Me," collected here; generations of high school girls have had to grow into this one. The scope of her music, in fact, solidly illustrates the fact that Lesley Gore never was strictly a bubblegum chronicler of high school heartbreak: she always had more on her mind.
Sweet Innocence.......2005-10-02
I've had several of Lesley's albums over the years and almost everything that was great about her is here on this one. It is the perfect blend of bubblegum and teen sincerity. I pop Lesley in whenever I'm feeling a little nostalgic and it never let's me down. She was beach parties and surfers riding the big wave, going steady and having your heart broke for the first time. From the upbeat and melancholy to the sweet, this one covers it all.
Good music can come in a lot of forms, and this is definitely good music. It's easy to listen to and will leave you feeling better than you did when you put it on. How much music do you own you can say that about? We'll surely never see this blend of youth and innocence ever again, but it certainly is nice to know we can go back and remind ourselves what was great about the 60's.
You'll have difficulty finding anyone who doesn't like Lesley and you will also if this is your first listen to her. It's more than worth the purchase price for this much enjoyment. You don't want to miss this terrific music.
Still a "Gore"geous sound.......2005-09-08
All the essential hits and most of the minor ones.......2004-09-28
This particular compilation has all the essential hits, these being It's my party, Judy's turn to cry, She's a fool, Maybe I know, You don't own me, Sunshine lollipops and rainbows, Look of love and my personal favorite, California nights. Most of the other songs here were minor American hits -minor in terms of chart placement but major in quality. You know the way pop music goes - once singers are deemed unfashionable, radio schedulers ignore their music.
Selecting a compilation among a choice of several is normally a tricky business. With Lesley, it's simple - the cheapest is the worst and the most expensive is the best, with the prices of those in between reflecting their quality. So (for example), this compilation is superior to the 12-track 20th century Millenium compilation but not quite as strong as the 30-track compilation, Start the party again, which one of my friends has reviewed. The only way to improve on that is to go for the double-CD (Anthology, now apparently out of print) or the 5-CD boxed set, both of which I reviewed a long time ago.
With 18 tracks, this compilation is probably just right for most people seeking Lesley's hits of the sixties.

The classic "Hound Dog" is usually associated with Elvis Presley, but blues fans know: Presley's recording wasn't the first. That honor belongs to singer Big Mama Thornton, whose own recording of "Hound Dog" was eclipsed by Presley's. Her version is on this collection in all its glory, opening a CD of 17 killer tracks. Thornton's voice, by turns growling and richly melodic, was indeed unusual, and the spare accompaniment on Hound Dog makes it stand out all the more on songs such as "They Call Me Big Mama," "How Come," "The Big Change," "Hard Times," and "The Fish." Thornton had talent and attitude to spare, and both come through loud and clear on this essential collection. --Genevieve WilliamsCustomer Reviews:
Apples & Oranges.......2007-05-26
Comparing Mama's version to Elvis's is like apples & oranges.
Mama is.. well.. great! You like her or you don't. She's got that early old time rock sound that we grew up on. Listen to her music and make up your own mind... she is one 'rockin' Mama.
just a great voice and great songs!.......2007-05-21
Big Mama's Rockin' Bluesy Rhythm & Blues.......2007-01-11
HOUND DOG: THE PEACOCK RECORDINGS consists of 18 songs recorded 1952-1957 on the Peacock label (note: track 8 on Duke), some previously unreleased on US album, one (track 15) previously unreleased in the US; songs are not in chronological order. Disc packaged in black jewel case; total running time: 47:15. Booklet includes a pedestrian essay by Mary Katherine Aldin, several black & white photographs (plus an image of a poster promoting a Big Mama performance), and detailed track information (songwriters, musician personnel, recording dates). Sound quality is excellent.
These are her early recordings, made after she started touring as a singer at age 14 (performing with - or against - "Little Esther" Phillips). She went on to record for Baytone, Kent, Mercury, Vanguard, and Arhoolie labels, where she would record "Wade in the Water" and "Ball N' Chain", the latter notably covered by Janis Joplin.
Most of these 50s recordings are made with the Johnny Otis Orchestra. "Yes, Baby" (track 8) is a duet with Johnny Ace. The music is not as much Blues as Rhythm & Blues and early Rock N' Roll. Most of the songs are up-tempo numbers.
I like this disc, but it is rather brief. I prefer "Ball `N' Chain", a collection of much Blues-ier 1960s recordings released on Arhoolie.

Album Description
Full title - Afterglow - The Essential Collection 1971-1994. Daryl Braithwaite has been a part of Australian musical life for more than 30 years, his powerful, evocative, reassuring voice leaving its mark on the musical generations of the 70s, 80s & 90s. It was in 1971, when his distinctive (but rarely used since) falsetto sent Sherbet's 'Can You Feel It Baby?' into the Top 20, that his remarkable chart supremacy began. By the end of the decade Sherbet had notched up more than 20 hits (including the international hit 'Howzat') while eternal 'King of Pop' Daryl had notched up another half dozen as a solo entity. After three albums with the Sherbs, he soared back into huge profile during the late 80s, in the wake of John Farnham's similar renaissance, with the albums, Edge & Rise & a string of smash national hits. This unique multi-label, cross-era, 21-track single disc career overview packageAlbum Details
This Unique 12 Track Career Overview Presents the Highlights of a Remarkable Career, Bringing Together Key Tracks from his Sherbet and Two Solo Eras of Recording. It Comes with Extensive Historical Liner Notes and Previously Unseen Photography.Customer Reviews:
A collection-item for Baywatch-fans !.......2004-10-13
The song "As the days go by" was used for the episode "The sky is falling" (1989 / season 1). While hearing this "warm" song, you'll remember Captain Thorpe on lifeguard duty.
The second song, "The Horses", was used for the episode "Game of chance" (1991 / season 2). While hearing this song, you'll remember Shauni riding a horse on the beach.
The third song, "One summer", was used for the episode "Pier Pressure" (1992 / season 3). While hearing this song, you'll remember lifeguard Summer Quinn taking a hot summer beach patrol.
If you are interested in songs that featured on Baywatch, you can buy here on Amazon.com the Book: "Baywatch - Rescued from Prime Time". This book contains all credits from songs/artists (like Daryl Braithwaite), that you can buy here on Amazon.com
The soundquality of this CD is excellent.
Higly recommended because this Daryl Braithwaite represents the classical Baywatch-music.
