Some may find the mixture of both instrumentals and ballads troubling; however, those that contribute to this remarkable CD make any critique a moot point.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Keely Rocks.......2007-01-23

This album really showcases the great talent that is Keely Smith. Her range and voice control come through beautifully. She is too much unheralded among the female vocalists of her era.

4 out of 5 stars When Your Lover Has Gone.......2006-03-10

I bought the album because I heard the above titled song on live365 (Music from the Blue Light, I think). But I like most of the other songs on the album too. I had no idea she did much without Louis Prima. Her voice is sultry and soft and sexy, but really strong at appropriate moments.

I may buy other albums of hers.

5 out of 5 stars The best in the business.......2004-12-29

Of the classic era women standards singers, Keely is the best. It's as simple as that-her only rival in my mind is the late Susannah McCorkle, who recorded much later and died relatively young. And there's no denying that while McCorkle often had a more introspective, intellectual approach to the song, Keely swung and did so effortlessly, without the appearance of thought (which had to be deceiving-Keely has to be very intelligent to do what she does).

A lot of the difference is that Keely faced a mike with working 50's and 60's orchestras with Billy May and Nelson Riddle charts whereas modern singers like McCorkle and Karrin Allyson have-if they're lucky- Concord Jazz bands, who mostly play bop jazz and other hophead stuff.

You just can't go wrong with this compilation if you want the pure Keely Smith.

4 out of 5 stars Cool collection of a cool singer's repertoire!.......2004-10-29

For those who are not familiar with Keely Smith's voice, this CD will have you hooked. Keely's range can go from silky smooth to jazzy hot from song to song. Her voice can lull you or make you jump up and want to sing along with her. This collection shows off Keely's range very well. There are some jazzy numbers, such as ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET and some lush torch songs, like I WISH YOU LOVE. Her voice can be powerful, but not overwhelming, soft, but not breathy. If you like listening to female lounge-style singers, you'll love Keely!

5 out of 5 stars Keely - the voice that could bring an audience to a hush.......2004-10-14

I first saw Keely perform with her husband Louis Prima on Ed Sullivan's TV show. I was instantly curious to get a good look at the face that matched such a silky-smooth voice. Alas, black-and-white TV complete with snow foiled me on at least two occasions. However, I never forgot that voice - and once you hear it, neither will you. It is remarkable in its quality and timbre.

Nelson Riddle and Billy May, as well as a few other of the great Capitol arrangers and bandleaders, provide solid and top-notch backing for a legendary performer. DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE FROM ME, SWEET AND LOVELY, and a host of other standards, performed ballad-style, will keep you enthralled and wondering why, with all of her style, she backed out of performing for so long.

And yes-the face does match the voice. Thank goodness for COLOR television!

5 out of 5 stars Sit back close your eyes and just move to the beat........2006-07-11

This is a great cd. I heard it inside a little music place one day and asked the old lady who was singing the song I was hearing. She got me out this cd and I got it for like 8 dollars. Every song on here is so great. I am only 21 and I love it. It makes me miss old good music like this. So unless you only like a certin kind of music I say get this it has amazing songs and is very relaxing. You may be able to find it at a lower price at your local record store so you may want to check there first.

5 out of 5 stars An Aptly Titled Jazz Album.......2002-02-06

This is the quintessential collection of the best female voices in jazz. This collection has the songs that made these women famous and/or the songs for which they are most remembered. Every song on the cd is a gem!!! The highlights are Ella's live recording of "It Don't Mean a Thing(If It Ain't Got That Swing)" and Nina Simone's "I Loves You, Porgy." All twelve songs run the gamut of emotions from true bliss to deepest sorrow. These women knew how to sing and these selections are some of the greatest in the american songbook. I highly recommend this cd.

4 out of 5 stars Great old Gems.......2002-01-24

There is nothing smoother than the voices of these great ladies. Put it in the car and you won't stress about rush hour any more.

5 out of 5 stars great intro!.......2001-01-06

I bought this CD a few years ago on a whim, never having listened to jazz before. I fell in love with Ella Fitzgerald's voice, she's outstanding. This CD features some great female voices, incredible musicianship and for price, you cannot go wrong!

4 out of 5 stars good cd.......2000-05-04

this a good cd full of great ladies of jazz (hence the name) singing some of the classic jazz tunes. its a steal at 6 clams. trust me and cough up for it. i'v got not regrets

Another fabulous compilation of the music of another time. This one is as great as Volume 1. Another winner!!

5 out of 5 stars Classy ladies singing classy tunes!.......2005-09-26

After watching a T V commercial with the song "Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy" playing in the background, I wanted my daughters to hear the complete song. We found this and I was very pleased to see that it included more of the beautiful songs from that era with many more of my personal favorites such as "Sentimental Journey", "I Don't Know Enough About You" and "Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief". Being a child of the sixties, these songs were popular before my time...but having been raised with an appreciation of the big band classics, I knew most of the tunes on this volume and wanted to give my daughters the same opportunity. It's great nostalgic music, with a wonderful variety of songs and artists. I highly recommend this musical...sentimental journey...back in time.

4 out of 5 stars A strange, but pleasant collection.......2005-02-24

This CD is one of a number of CDs issued by Capitol with similar content; there is at least one other featuring female singers, and at least one specializing in male singers. The first thing to notice is that some singers are represented doing songs that other singers made famous, and even other singers who are on the CD as well. For example, Dinah Shore does Doris Day's "Sentimental Journey" while June Christy in turn does Dinah's "Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy"! Another recording by Dinah Shore is, to be sure, one of a song she made famous, "I'll Walk Alone." But the version on this CD is not her 1944 hit version, but a much later recording (though this is not concealed in the liner notes). Obviously, much of what drove the selection of recordings for this CD was the availability of the song on Capital. Still, listening to the CD, I enjoyed all the performances, and consequently have to rate it as better than simply "OK" -- thus giving it 4 stars.

5 out of 5 stars great intro.......2000-06-17

5 out of 5 stars Every body must have this CD........2006-03-04

This is a real good compilation of Gershwin's pieces in unforgettable voices. This compilation is exactly that I loved, may be there somebody who loves the hiss, and clickers; I don't. The master was a nice job, mixed well. You can hear in a 5.1 or 7.1 and you hear the feeling of the musicians, the great ladies, and of course, the Great Gershwin.

4 out of 5 stars The Ladies Sing with Class.......2005-08-13

These are classic renditions of classic Gershwin from Verve Records. The only disappointment is The Dinah Washington rendition of Summertime is an instrumental, no Dinah singing, unless she's humming in the background. The trumpet solo is marvelous. She does sing "I've got a crush on you." No liner notes are provided. All you get is the singer, the title and the original album.

4 out of 5 stars They're Singing Gershwin Songs....'S Wonderful, Ladies!.......2004-11-21

This CD is a compilation of some of the nicest songs by the legendary team of George and Ira Gershwin. These songs were taken from nine various albums and interpreted by the most remarkable songbirds of all-time: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Dinah Washington, Shirley Horn and Betty Carter.

Ella, the queen of jazz, who needs no introduction, performs three of the eleven tracks, "Fascinating Rhythm," "Nice Work If You Can't Get It" and "They Can't Take That Away From Me."

Sarah, the divine one, delivers standout performances on "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off," "'S Wonderful," "Someone To Watch Over Me" and "Embraceable You."

Nina, the jazzy and soulful one, covers "I Love You, Porgy."

Dinah, the bluesy one who's better known for her rhythm & blues repertoire, sings "I've Got A Crush On You."

Shirley, the ballad singer and a talented pianist, performs "Our Love Is Here To Stay," one of the very last songs Gershwin composed.

Betty, the jazz singer/pianist with a husky-voice and has worked with the jazz greats Miles Davis and Quincy Jones, wraps it up with her rendition of "The Man I Love," one of the two bonus tracks, the other is Sarah Vaughan's "'S Wonderful."

This CD would have been great if not for the flaw on track #4. On the track listing, it's supposed to be Dinah singing "Summertime" but it's an instrumental version. Anyway, with all these great ladies in one CD, it's still worth listening to. The rest of the tracks overshadow this flaw. Nice work... ladies! Every performance is so remarkable and superb.

5 out of 5 stars Love the CD and can answer the question.......2003-06-06

Trumpeter in Summertime is probably Clark Terry. This cut is taken from "Dinah Jams" on Verve and from the information on that CD it appears Clark Terry is featured there. This CD is the best of the best - composer, selections, and singers.

5 out of 5 stars Love this CD, but i have a question.......2002-04-23

This is a great collection of songs but the track "Summertime" is not sung by Dinah Washington. It is an an amazing trumpet solo, i think is Louis Armstrong? Any way it is awesome.

5 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 An Exquisite Introduction.......2007-01-03


NPR put together this ravishing collection of female jazz singers, and they've doena an admirable job. It features 15 singers, and is more of a sampler than a historical document; Peggy Lee gets as much attention as Billie Holiday--they're each allotted one track each. Still, it's a superb introduction to these jazz vocalists, most of them considered the very best in the genre, with a few newcomers as well. Many of the songs share an emotional base of blues, regret, and other love-wrought musings, but there's enough variety to steer clear of easy stereotyping. Highlights include Sarah Vaughan's opening "Embraceable You" (1954; Sassy at her best, with Clifford Brown on trumpet); the understated but powerfully expressive styles of Carmen McCrae and the late Shirley Horn, and a very sensual, teasing rendition of "Teach Me Tonight," by the great Dinah Washington.

While I wish the producers had chosen a different quintessential Billie Holiday song, and the final duet of Nancy Wilson and Dee Dee Bridgewater is almost embarrassing in its forced "we-still-can-sing-can't-we-grrl" tone, the album delivers rich surprises as well. These include Diana Krall's fast-paced vocal on "I Love Being Here with You," Ms. Anita O'Day, whose Vaughan-like sound was a personal revelation, and Carla Cook doing justice to Marvin Gaye's hard-hitting, tough/beautiful "Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler)." Inevitably, any listener will complain of omissions, but for the price, the quality of the recordings, and the variety of styles, this is one of the best single-disk collections you'll find.

5 out of 5 stars TALENT ABOUNDS.......2007-07-12

Take a stroll down memory lane and steep yourself in the music that defined an era. The sounds are as fresh today as they were when they were new. A great addition to any and all collections.

5 out of 5 stars Capitol Records, Volume One,....The Ladies! .......2007-06-26



I bought this CD along with some of the other CD Volumes put out by Capitol Records (such as: "CAPITOL's GREAT GENTLEMEN of Song",and "Capitol Sings the Best Movie Songs", and "Capitol Sings Irving Berlin", etc....)



I have not been disappointed in any of the CAPITOL RECORDS compilations offered by Amazon.com.



All the songs are re-recorded nicely, and they sound very good---especially considering the age of some of the recordings.

5 out of 5 stars These songbirds could sell a song without even trying--and that's no small feat !!!.......2007-06-16

The twentieth century gave us numerous talented ladies of song who could entertain the masses to everyone's delight. This CD provides us with a great compilation of just some of the cream of the crop of the songbirds of the twentieth century.

The CD opens with Keely Smith performing "Sweet And Lovely;" Billy May's arrangement complements Keely's silky smooth voice to perfection! Judy Garland follows with an especially sensitive interpretation of "I Can't Give You Love;" Judy's voice is in excellent form and her perfect diction enhances her delivery of this number. Nelson Riddle's arrangement for "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" shines brightly, too.

Martha Tilton sings "All Of Me" with a sensual voice that is rich, warm and vibrant. Tilton delivers "All Of Me" without a superfluous note; and the peppy arrangement by Ernie Felice works well for this number. The incomparable Lena Horne also performs "All The Way" with passion and a type of sensitivity that stuns me with its beauty.

Other gems on this CD include Sarah Vaughan's rendition of "Honeysuckle Rose;" Sarah sings this with passion, soul and all her heart. The musical arrangement makes great use of the percussion, too. Peggy Lee gives the royal treatment to the classic standard "As Time Goes By;" Peggy sings this softly, sweetly and with panache. The arrangement by Quincy Jones boasts a great use of both the strings section and the percussion.

"Them There Eyes" is performed by a young Anita O'Day on this CD; her vocals play ever so slightly with the tempo as only she could do those vocal gymnastics! June Hutton's "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" sparkles and the background chorus harmonizes flawlessly. What a romantic song! Dinah Shore sings "My Funny Valentine" with panache, confidence and thoughtful contemplation. The piano solo for "My Funny Valentine" enhances the beauty of this number--in this case, less truly IS more.

The CD ends fittingly with June Christy singing "When You Wish Upon A Star." The Joe Castro Quartet performs very well on "When You Wish Upon A Star" and June Christy sings this very romantically. It just might get you wishing upon a star for many, many more CDs just like this one, too!

The liner notes include numerous black and white photos of many of the songbirds on this album; and you get the song credits, too. I wish there were an essay but this is a minor disappointment.

Overall, any fan of classic pop vocals is going to absolutely flip over this CD. The quality of the sound is excellent and these ladies of song never disappoint. I also recommend this CD for people who like easy listening vocals, too.

Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Reminiscence.......2002-03-03

Even if you weren't raised in the '40's (as I was) this compilation will stir your heart strings. Wonderful lyrics, wonderful tunes, wonderful songsters...just as I remember hearing them played on our old 78's.

5 out of 5 stars The title says it all.......2001-09-22

Buy this CD and listen to these songs. Perfect for any mellow mood, their melodies hover in the air and create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Composed of the stuff of emotion and life, these classic songs will have you wanting to sing along to the familiar tunes, yet you won't dare disrupt the perfect golden tones as they wash over you.

    2 out of 5 stars This is not the blues.......2002-08-22

    Yes, these are great ladies but they are not singing the Blues. They are singing Jazz. As far as a Jazz album goes, I rate this 5 STARS.
    As a Blues musician, I was truely disappointed that the producer of this CD listed it as a Blues album. There's not a Blues lick on this album.
    If you're looking for great ladies to sing the Blues, don't look here. If you're looking for great ladies to sing slow sad Jazz, you found it.
    There are those people that will disagree with me on this CD. I have read the previous reviews. I'll state again, as far as a Jazz CD, absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend. As far as a Blues CD, no way.
    Seeing as I am not a big fan of Jazz, I have listed my copy of this CD on Amazon.com to sell as "Like new." Someone out there will enjoy this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Getting Into It.......2002-03-20

    For someone who has always liked the blues, but doesn't quite know why, this CD helps make it clear. It's because of the way it makes you FEEL. The sultry, beautiful release it gives you, with all the female greats (plus Louis!), makes cooking, gardening, even paying bills a treat. Your hips will sway. You will bellow out along with them. Go for it.

    5 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing.......2000-05-04

    Morgana King's "I Know How It Feels To Be Lonely" alone is worth the price of this brilliant CD. This collection possesses an etheral quaility that presents Blues at its quintessential best. Sara Vaughn and Nina Simone also shine like bright and radiant stars.

    4 out of 5 stars these ladies are indeed great.......2000-02-18

    my favs would have to be "cry a river" and "i know how it feels to be lonely". this cd is packed with the best voices and puts you in another place...there are an abunance of other songs that coul dhave been included or substituted, but because there was a vast selection, the ones presented made an overall statement. if you have never explored this genre then this is a good one to get your feet wet
