5 out of 5 stars Editorial is wrong!.......2002-02-13

This set by the King Sisters is NOT without Alvino Rey. Most of these are from 45-46 Standard Transcriptions....with brother in law Alvino Rey's Orchestra. Only goof was leaving off the best thing they ever did... Tiger Rag!! If you like the Kings....BUY THIS!!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Not exactly a soundtrack.......2001-11-22

This is a compilation of songs from Going My Way and the Road to Morocco. It is not, though, a soundtrack. The recordings here were made at about the same time as the films were made, but as separate recordings so they will not match exactly to your memories of the film (most notable is the patter between Crosby and Hope on The Road to Morocco, but close listeners will hear other bits as well). The sound quality is very clean and clear, and while it is mono, the mix is exquisite.

Also worth looking for is another album from the same series, Blue Skies, featuring songs from the films Blue Skies and Out of this World which has a great Crosby/Fred Astaire duet.

4 out of 5 stars An excellent CD for a big fan of Bing's movies.......2000-09-28

This terrific CD is basically a soundtrack from three Bing Crosby pictures: "The Road to Morocco", "Dixie", and the fantastic "Going My Way". There are four songs from what was the best of the "Road Pictures". Most of the songs are not done exactly as they were in this film, but they still sound great. The best of the first four songs is the duet with Bob Hope. This number was the title song in "The Road To Morocco". They always worked very well together. There are two songs from the motion picture "Dixie"; "Sunday, Monday Or Always", and "If You Please". Neither song is brilliant, but both are pleasant, relaxing tunes. The music from "Going My Way" is some of the best material gathered for a soundtrack. The six tracks from this film include its wonderful title song, a light, educational Academy Award winner ("Swinging on a Star"), and two Christmas songs in "Ave Maria" and the always stirring "Silent Night". Once again, if you enjoy Bing's movies as well as the music in them, you really should get this CD.

        Short and Sweet!

        In case you're wondering why this is only going for $2. for new copies from secondary dealers, is because it wasn't worth the $16.00 it originally was priced at! What a SHOCK when I got this home from the store and put it in my machine!

        I gave it away in a grab bag at work!

        All I can say is: "Miss Horne, I am so sorry that you allowed this to be released...it's worse than the stuff that Callas/Di Stefano did at the end."
