5 out of 5 stars Best compilation of her RCA music so far.......2003-05-18

Dinah recorded for Bluebird, Victor and RCA from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1950. The first two of those labels became part of RCA, so this compilation covers all three. The period from 1945 to 1950, during which Dinah recorded for Columbia, was actually Dinah's most successful, but those recordings (including her biggest hit, Buttons and bows) can be found on other compilations.

Although Dinah was not quite as successful with the various RCA labels as she was with Columbia, she still had plenty of big hits, many of which are to be found here. They include I'll walk alone, which topped the American pop charts in 1944, plus the top ten hits I hear a rhapsody, Jim, Blues in the night, Miss you, Skylark, One dozen roses, Why don't you fall in love with me, You'd be so nice to come home to, Murder he says, Sleigh ride in July, Candy and Sweet violets. Blue canary and Changing partners just missed the top ten. Together only just made the top twenty, losing out to two rival versions, the biggest hit being achieved by Helen Forrest and Dick Haymes.

Dinah become a successful TV personality in the fifties but this did not help her career as a hit-maker. Like so many of her generation, her music was unable to compete with rock'n'roll. Nevertheless, this is a fine collection of some of Dinah's best music. If you haven't got any of Dinah's music, this is a good place to start although you might also consider a collection of her Columbia hits.

4 out of 5 stars Shore to please.......2001-07-26

This high-quality piece from the independent label Taragon spotlights Dinah Shore's RCA recordings from 1940 through the later 50s. It contains many of her top-10 hits on RCA including some of her cover versions of 50s hits that were hits in their own right that are seldom found elsewhere in their original RCA versions. Since this compilation is of her RCA work only, the recordings from her period with Columbia in the late 40s is not represented. As such, this makes an excellent companion piece to compilations of her Columbia material that is readily available. The sound quality, even though many of the early tunes have by necessity been taken from disc masters, is excellent with all tracks appearing in mono and is superior to other CDs covering this material. Liner notes are a brief 4-page booklet with a two-page synopsis of Dinah's RCA recording highlights. One of the best Dinah Shore CDs to be found.
