I first became acquainted with Roger Whittaker's wonderful voice on a compilation Christmas album that included two of his songs. My wife then bought me this CD after hearing me rave about this fantastic baritone.

It's a great album because of Whittaker's singing. However, the song selection leaves a bit to be desired, as it is so varied that it is almost jarring to listen to it. I suppose that such variation is the nature of "Best of" albums, but it remains the greatest drawback of this particular release.

Nonetheless, "If I Were a Rich Man," "Moon Shadow," "I Believe", and "A Special Kind of Man" are great tracks. Though this isn't one of my favorite albums, Whittaker is still the cream of the crop, and this one is definitely worth a listen.
