5 out of 5 stars Gordon MacRae was the KING!.......2004-11-10

I was fortunate enough to be a music and drama critic for more than 20 years for a major national syndicate, and am blessed to have known all of the MacRaes for many years. For my money, Gordon MacRae was the finest pure vocalist of the 20th century. His voice, quite simply, was unmatched by any other male vocalist. Theirs was a great family, with a special mention for daughter Meredith MacRae, a darling who died much, much too young of a brain tumor. My tribute is not an important one, except to me, but I cherish all of Gordon's songs like no others I've known. Just sign me -- Ron Pataky, a grateful fan.

3 out of 5 stars BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE.......2002-03-03

THIS ALBUMN DOESN'T HAVE GOOD SOUND; IT IS A DOUBLE ALBUMN ALL ON ONE SIDE TAKEN FROM PREVIOUS ALBUMNS. THE BEST PART OF IT IS THE MOVIE SONGS WHICH IS AT THE VERY END, SOUND QUALITY BETTER.
I GAVE IT 3 STARS.

5 out of 5 stars WORLD'S BEST SINGER IN THE 50'S.......2002-01-14

I have been a fan of Gordon MacRae ever since I saw
him in movies in the 50's. He is the most under-rated
singer and should have been awarded for his singing before
he died and even after he died. Not only for his singing
but his acting. I have most of his movies but am trying
to obtain LP's which I collect. "THREE SAILORS AND A GIRL"
is the only LP I can't get. I hope someone reading this
can help. He is by far one of the world's best singers
plus the fact that he is also handsome to go with it.
I think I fell in love with him when I was 15 years old.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking!.......1998-12-07

Not only does this wonderful CD give us a beautiful range of Gordon's rich, clear, velvety tenor (can you tell I like this guy?) but the songs are classics from music motion picture history. We are even privileged to hear a song from the blues. Hey, is there anything that Gordon can't sing? From the swinging 'Button up your Overcoat' to the romantic 'Goodnight Sweetheart' this CD is sure to please anyone with an appreciation for pure talent. Heck, just get it because there is nobody that can sing like Gordon MacRae- he has a voice to make your knees melt!

5 out of 5 stars I Love this CD and Gordon Macrae.......1998-10-17

I love this CD and Gordon Macrae and am trying to get all of Gordon Macrae's recordings which are kind of hard to come by. I think the selections of this CD are great and most of all I love his voice which is so pure and rich and he has such range. I think he was a much under rated singer and wish more of his CD's were available. In my book he ranks up there with all the top singers of that era including Sinatra. Love the Voice !! Thanks and have a great day !!
