It's hard to find a good selection of oldies, but I had plenty to choose from. I'm happy with the CD.

Jo Stafford Hits from the 40's and 50's.......2007-03-11

This is such a wonderful CD - we wanted to hear some of the songs Jo Stafford had in the 50's when we were dating. She has a great voice and almost all the songs on this CD were fabulous!

Columbia Hits Collection- Jo Stafford.......2006-08-08

Excellent CD, Jo Stafford always had perfect pitch in all of her songs. It is great to hear her wonderful voice again and hear so many of her big hits.

Jo Stafford.......2005-08-02

The old hits were the best. This is a collection of Jo Staford's melodius best.

Fine sampler of Jo Stafford moving into the 1950s.......2003-03-18

When pop vocalist Jo Stafford and Weston moved over to Columbia Records in 1950, their proclivity for novelty tunes far outpaced the straight romantic material. Country covers were particularly big, as seen in several early '50s Hank Williams songs, done cornball pop style, and remakes of hits by Lefty Frizzell and Pee Wee King. The arrangements are generally not as classy or considered as the Capitol material -- Sinatra also suffered suffered mightily under the Columbia system around the same time -- but there are still great moments here. Sometimes it's just fun to hear the goofy techniques they tried in the studio; on other songs they would let Stafford loose on a legitimate ballad, and she always sparkled like a diamond. Overall, this 29-song sampler of her Columbia years is pretty sweet.

Several years ago we bought this great collection for my mother-in-law, who's in her 80s, and while a lot of the music was familiar to me and my husband, she knew every song. Now it's one of our favorites, too. Anyone who loves music will appreciate this. The double-disc set contains many memorable tunes, from Hugo Winterhalter's "Canadian Sunset" to Jimmy Dorsey's "So Rare".

A wonderful hits album by Barbra Streisand!!!.......2007-06-17

This album is a profile of Barbra Streisand's hits from the 60s (either released in December, 1969 or January, 1970). You get a variety of hits of hers from that era~~the most well known "People" is on here, from the album of the same title from 1964, which is the opening song (this song was also in the movie Funny Girl, but this version on GH is different from the version on the Funny Girl soundtrack). Next, you get Second Hand Rose, taken from her My Name Is Barbra, Two album from 1965. After that comes Why Did I Choose You, taken from her My Name Is Barbra album from '65. He Touched Me, which comes from her second My Name Is Barbra album from '65 is also a good song. Free Again comes from her French titled 1966 album, Je m'appelle Barbra. This song is great. Then, revisiting the music of Funny Girl, you hear "Don't Rain On My Parade", which is another one of Barbra's most well-known songs. Then you get My Coloring Book, which I assume came from her The Second Barbra Streisand Album from 1963. Next, you get Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long, which makes its only appearance on this album. After that, you once again get another Funny Girl tune, My Man. This version came from her My Name is Barbra album from '65. Next is Gotta Move, which has an upbeat, "hurry up" sound to it. This song was from her Second Barbra Streisand Album from 1963. And, the final song on this album, Happy Days are Here Again, is a live song that was taken from her 1968 album, A Happening in Central Park. That Central Park concert was done in 1967 when she was still working on Funny Girl. The concert was done in front of thousands of people. On that concert album, Happy Days are Here Again is also the final song. Altogether, this Greatest Hits album is a must have for any person's Barbra Streisand music library. Not a bad song on here, and this title is worth getting. Definitely five stars for this album as well as the picture of Barbra on the front cover. She had a very sweet pose on this one and I like it, too.

Why Do I Choose Babs?.......2007-05-26

Grrrrreat.......2006-07-28

Never had heard any of these songs. Not going to listen to them either. Managed to miss this inscrutable piece of Americana altogether.
Hey, if Kennedy had gotten us all blown up, then we wouldn't have had to listen to Barbra Streisand. Well, that's something. I guess.

Almost a Gem. .......2006-01-03

I Think the 60s is Barbra's best decade, as we can see it now in
the newly released DVD package of 5 television specials.
Her 60s albums were great and original, and I think that two
people responsible for these are Peter Matz and Don Costa, her
best arrangers. I love the songs selected. "People" in my opinion was sung best in the 1964 " People" album, and it's the version
included here. Her "jewish" melody songs " My Man" and " Sam, you
made the Pants too long" are super , as well as " Second Hand
Rose" another "jewish" melody song in which Streisand shows how
proud she is of her heritage by ending the song with a comic
"nu?" a yiddish expression used when someone does something
excellent and asks another for for his opinion. I often wondered
if this "inside joke" was lost on the majority of listeners to this song.
The album is most enjoyable. All the songs are studio songs except
" Happy Days are here again" which I still wonder why she chose
to include a "live recording" in an album made up of studio
songs. In my opinion, the original " Happy Days are here Again"
in THE BARBRA STREISAND ALBUM is still the definite version of this song, and was such a Streisand original, that the inclusion
of a later "live performance" of this song ruins the perfect CD.
I solved this problem, by burning a CD and substituting the
Happy Days are here Again, with the original Studio version.
Now I don't get "nervous" when listening to this CD. because I
have "substituted " the "live" version of " Happy Days are here
Again" with the original.
Barbra, I have a right to be Happy.
