Customer Reviews:

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

memories.......2007-02-22

This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended

TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

Deja Vu.......2006-02-17

Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful collaborations!.......2007-06-03

Eric Marienthal on Sax, Russ Freeman on Guitar, David Benoit on Keyboards, Vinnie Colaiuta on drums! These are some of the great musicians in this CD... David, I wait for the next album!

A Most Welcome Comeback.......2006-12-07

Listening to this album makes me realize how much I missed Pack's singular songwriting and singing voice. These are wonderful and professionally excecuted adult contemporary songs that have that trademark Pack touch: terrific harmonies, stellar musicianship, and a subtle warmth that sticks with you and grows deep inside.

This is an album of collaborations, and they work very well. The opening track with Ann Wilson is terrific and sets a great mood. "Vertical Disbelief" is quite nice. And the two Ambrosia remakes (Biggest Part of Me and You're the Only Woman) are tasteful and mature updates that furnish new interpretive subleties while retaining the sweetness of the originals.

I definitely want more.

inspired piece of work.......2006-09-05

David Pack's "Secret of Movin' On" is a truly inspired CD. Though this CD doesn't have the fanfare of many other releases, it has more depth and feeling than any CD that I have heard in quite some time. If you are a fan of David's work with Ambrosia, you will love this CD. You will also wish that Mr. Pack would have released more albums since the demise of Ambrosia.

long awaited.......2006-08-19

this is a long awaited album from david pack. i've been listening to his cool voice since his days with ambrosia. he's provided vocals for david benoit, tom scott and several other artists. i had the chance of finally meeting him last night at a private party at the mystique inside morongo casino resort and spa. he performed songs on this latest release as well as the old time favorites such as "how much i feel", biggest part of me" and "you're the only woman". there's no better experience than listening to him sing his songs live. "secret of moving on" is really a good release. more power to david.

great to hear again.......2006-07-19

I always loved Ambrosia and considered them one of the best bands of the 70's. I was so glad to see something new by an original member. The album is so reminiscent of the band but with some new material. I look forward to hearing new stuff from him.

Customer Reviews:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Keep Movin' On by Sam Cooke.......2007-01-10

I love the product & it was right on time, no delays or anything.
Thanx Guys

Essential Listening!.......2006-07-16

"Keep Movin' on" is a compilation that ,with a few exceptions, covers the last year of Sam Cooke's recording career. The last album released in his own lifetime, the great "Ain't That Good News" is almost completely covered here; along with rarities, singles and some of his very last recordings from November 1964.

For people who only know Sam Cooke from pop-hits like "Only Sixteen", "A Wonderful World" and "You Send Me", it may sound a little odd that Cooke is often called the creator of soul-music. This wouldn't be the case if they were familar with these late Sam Cooke recordings. "Ain't That Good New" is my favourite Sam Cooke original album; and most best from songs from that album such as "Meet Me at Mary's Place", "Good Times", "The Riddle Song" and the title track are included.

Other highlight are "Shake", "That's Where it's At" ( I believe this song inspired Otis Redding to do "That's How Strong my Love is" ), and the previously unreleased "Keep Moving On"

Fine informative 26 pages booklet included!

Essential listening for fans of early soul-music - and fans of good music in general!

Gems and rares in his last days.......2006-05-08

Since I happened to give up a fine compilation CD "A Man and His Music", I had waited too long for listening to Sam Cooke's last recordings including 'A Change is Gonna Come', 'Another Saturday Nights', Good Times' and so on. However, now we can have them easily on CD because Abkco started releasing his hidden treasures, especially Cameo-Parkway recordings. If you want to taste only the cream of Sam Cooke tunes, you better get "Portrait of a Legend". But if you want to dig deeper, I recommend you to have this CD with "The Man Who Invented Soul" and CDs of his Soul Stirrers years.

Second best Compilation.......2005-11-22

If you really want to get a good overview of the career of this legendary get 'Portrait of a Legend' because the overall standard of that CD is better.
Still this CD is worth buying because it has all the good songs and most of all has 'Yeah Man' (probably better known as Sweet Soul Music by Arthur Conley).
The best reason to get it is because it contains a previously unreleased but great song that is also the title of this CD.

HIS CREATIVITY HAD NO END!.......2005-10-16

ONCE YOU POP IN THIS CD YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO REMOVE IT. I THOUGHT I KNEW WHAT SAM COOKE WAS ALL ABOUT UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS CD. LIKE THE RING IN THE RIDDLE SONG...HIS CREATIVITY HAD NO END. MY ONLY REGRET IN LIFE IS THAT I NEVER MET THIS ICON.

A criticism that has long dogged Billy Joel's career involves his songs' direct, heart-on-the-sleeve emotional sentiments and a musical approach that often revels in pop music's past glories instead of reacting against them. Ironically, those are the very strengths of Twyla Tharp's dialog-free pop ballet based on Joel's infectious canon of music, including his recent forays into the classical realm. This live cast recording is fueled by the piano and vocals of Michael Cavanaugh, who, backed by an ensemble handpicked by the songwriter, gooses every last drop of drama from Joel's already theatrical songs with a verve worthy of the legend himself. But divorced from Tharp's always kinetic choreography, and despite angular reworkings of "We Didn't Start the Fire" and other Joel standards, it's a collection that sometimes sounds akin to Joelmania: not really Billy, but an incredible simulation. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

SO glad I bought it =].......2007-06-08

I never got the chance to see this musical on Broadway, so I bought the the CD - I absolutely love Billy Joel, and really like the musical! The CD came in brand new condition. Very happy with my purchase =]

Still Billy Joel to Me.......2007-03-29

I still have to warm up to the guys voice a bit, but the music is awesome. It's amazing how well this music transitions and blends together. There was also a couple of things that got me by surprise. We Didn't Start the Fire is really different, and shows just what his music can do. I'm a little disappointed that Only The Good Die Young didn't get more appreciation, but none the less it still rocks.

Awesome collection of music.......2007-03-09

I saw the show and it was one of the greatest show ever, highly entertaining, great collection of music, as you listen to each song, you can actually imagine the show being played over and over, 5 stars!

Saw the show - what a memory.......2006-08-25

I love Broadway and grew up on the Piano Man (no I am a Chicagoan and haven't yet seen anything on New York's Broadway). This show did justice to both an now I listen to the CD to re-live the event!

Interesting Concept, But Originals Outshine.......2006-07-12

In anticipation of seeing this show, I picked up a copy of the cast cd. The orchestrations were crisp and Michael Cavanaugh's voice was quite good as the "piano man". Best Tracks include:

Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
Movin' Out
We Didn't Start The Fire
Goodnight Saigon

But after attending the show in Chicago last weekend, it was clear that the focal point is (and should be) Twyla Tharp's amazing choreography and the music merely forms a quaint storyline as background. And now? I'd just rather hear Mr. Joel's original versions instead.

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY.......2006-11-29

Do NOT buy this version - buy "Club Classics, Vol. 1 - 10th Anniversary Edition" instead. That version is the 1999 remaster of the British edition of this CD. It has all the tracks on this CD (including the original CD version and the single version of "Back to Life"), plus bonus tracks and improved sound.

Now, once you do your search and find the 10th Anniversary edition, you should absolutely buy this CD. This was one of the best releases of 1989. It almost singlehandly brought back 1970's-influenced soul music and contains some of the best house music of 1989.

It is a very warm-sounding album, with a rich sonic texture. What the hell does that mean? These aren't just some pre-programmed pop ditties; Jazzy B. and Nellie Hooper put some thought and effort into this one. They also got screwed out of the 1989 Best New Artist Grammy (the winner? none other than those musical revoluntaries, Milli Vanilli - who were not the best, new or even artists).

I'm not going to go into the individual tracks, other than to say that if you like "Back to Life" and "Keep On Moving" you are going to like this CD. A hits compilation won't do Soul II Soul justice. Buy this CD and listen to the entire album instead.

Adam - Davenport Iowa Past.... Present+ Dubuque Iowa.......2006-06-26

I have listened to Keep on moving on my Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Video Game. I like it very much. It is very peaceful like most late 80's early nineties pop. i like everykind of movie, videogame, and music.

Soul II Soul - An influential Black UK Music Group.......2005-11-04

Soul II Soul are one of the most influential music groups in history. When tracks such as "Fairplay", "Keep On Movin" and the massive UK No. 1 "Back to Life" hit the charts in the late 1980s, black music groups across the UK suddenly switched to producing harmonious vocals over hip hop beats. "Another Soul II Soul rip off" was a popular quote when music magazines reviewed such releases.
Originally a sound system, famous for their party's at "Africa Centre" and the Fridge Nightclub in London, the group was a loose collective of singers and instrumentalists, based around founder Beresford Romeo AKA "Jazzie B". This release was originally named "Club Classics Volume I" - and not "Keep On Movin" as per the re-issue.
"A Happy Face, A Thumping Bass...for a Loving Race" was Soul II Souls motto - which the "funki dreds" certainly embodied. "Back to Life", the groups highest charting single ever, is here in a capella form only. Well, the track starts of a capella. Three minutes in, and Caron Wheelers vocals are laced with one of the grittiest hip hop beats ever produced (the beat was later sampled by a slew of American hip hop artists including The Goats, LL Cool J, Mobb Deep, Yo Yo, Ice Cube and Ghetto Boys ) before the track melds into "Jazzies Groove" - in which Jazzie speaks the "story" of Soul II Soul over a funky bassline and chorus horn stabs. Soul II Soul enjoyed considerable - if but brief - success stateside, when "Back to Life" hit the Billboard RnB charts. Jazzie B appeared to present an award at the American Music Awards in 1990.
This album's production sounds as fresh as it did upon its initial release and its fusion of diva vocals and hip hop rhythms would resonate with most modern RnB, funk and soul fans.

Miss this one -.......2005-04-09

I love "Back to Life" and "Keep on Movin'." I purchased the cassette back in June of 1989. As the years went on, I misplaced my cassette. Today, these songs are really popular and I hear them several times a month on my local radio station, but I am so thankful for the opportunity to purchase this one again, especially the CD. Thank you Amazon!!

You should get this one.......2004-11-26

The songs in this CD are incredible. I don't know why this group never caught on in the United States. All of the songs hit the core of soul music. It's at the top of my list for dance music in this genre. The beat throughout defies description. It's alive, powerful, vital. Take this cd to your next aerobic class, and I'm sure it will be played more than any other, because almost all the songs are jumpin'. You must get this one.

Good, not great........2006-07-28

This album was good. I liked how all the songs go together, but are sung by different people.

I liked this album when I first started playing it. I even planned on picking up another of their albums, but for whatever reason the CD has not made it back into my regular rotation and I have not listened to it recently.

That being said, I buy a lot of CDs that I listen to once and think I must have been crazy to purchase. There are no bad songs on this CD and I am glad I own it.

Great amaericana.......2006-04-06

These guys have what it takes. Good country and bluegrass. Great song writing too. I give this cd 5 stars. If you love americana you must give a lisson. These guys are great to see live. They do a great show. I saw them in Atlanta and I bought this cd at the show. They are great.

a breath of fresh air.......2005-06-15

I first started to listen to bluegrass almost 10 years ago and have run the gammut. A lot of the new 'jamgrass' bands that are popping up foresake the singing and songwriting so important to the genre. As strange as it sounds, I've been listening to more electronic music lately... but this album is absolutely a breath of fresh air. Beautiful melodies, harmonies, and fantastic playing. I'm almost afraid that Weather and Water will be a let down, but I can't wait to find out.

They are about to go on tour opening for Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan. I'm pretty sure they'll come out of that one with a legion of new fans, so be "cool" and buy this one today ;)

As an aside... I knew the fiddle player, Eamon, when I was living in Austin five years ago (yes, I paid for this album), and the reason for the name is that none of them were born American! Yet, they seem to have mastered this American artform... intriguing...

great purchase!.......2005-06-14

This album is exactly what I've been searching for!! The music is so refreshingly honest and pure, and the musical talent in this trio is absolutely unbelievible....I love it! The Greencards somehow manage to make music that holds on to the traditional roots of the genre, and keep a contemporary sound at the same time. Terrific!!
---I Can't wait for the next one!!!---

Amazing musicians.......2005-06-10

This is one of the best bluegrass albums I've heard in years! The musicianship and overall sound coming out of this band is completely mind-blowing and sets a new precedent in my book. With such song writing ability, I look forward to hearing a lot more of them. And with this being an album they released on their own, I can't wait for the new release due out on June 28th.

"A man who's written most of his life in the songs that he sings".......2005-12-04

These 2 efforts prove Merle Haggard is one of the greatest singer-song writers that ever wrote and sang a song. "Portrait" produced 4 big hits for Merle. "Working Man Blues" has proven to be a timeless hit for Merle and one of his most recognized songs. The same goes for "Silver Wings". "Hungry Eyes" is my favorite Merle Haggard song. Perhaps it's because I saw him perform the song on stage about 35 years ago with tears streaming down his face. It was so personal, so real, so powerful. It comes out in this recording as well. I was only 10 yrs old, but I've never forgotten it. Some years after that, I found out Merle had written the song from real memories from his childhood. Not of his Mom and Dad but of some family members. He'd spent some time with them in their 'canvis covered cabin'. It was a long time before I heard Merle sing the song again in person. I always felt it was because it was so personal for him. The other hit song that became a Merle Haggard standard is "Every Fool Has a Rainbow". All the other songs are worth a listen as well.
"Movin On" is another testiment to Merle's gift as a singer-song writer. "Always Wanting You" (written for Dolly Parton) is another deeply personal song. Merle went through a period of serious infatuation for Dolly. Of course he really did love her, just like millions of us do. "Movin On" was the theme song for a T.V. series of the same name.
This is a "must have" collection for any Merle Haggard fan and a great sample for those who are becoming Merle Haggard fans.

Brilliant twofer with strong Dolly connection.......2005-03-21

Keep moving on (the second album here) was the album that really made me take Merle's music seriously. More than any other album of his that I'd bought up till then, it showed me that he was much more than a singles artist. Of course, it didn't do any harm that the album has a strong Dolly Parton connection (via several songs) but every song here is a real classic.

The three big hits on Keep moving on are Moving on (an excellent trucking song), Kentucky gambler (written by Dolly) and Always wanting you (written by Merle about Dolly). All three of these songs went to number one on the country charts. Of the other songs, my favorite is the touching ballad, You'll always be special to me. Written by Merle, Dolly covered the song and included it on her album, Bargain store. The Dolly connection on this album is completed by Life's like poetry, which Merle co-wrote with Dolly, Dolly's own version later appeared on her album, All I can do.

Merle complains wryly about women in A man's got to give up a lot, though he must think the sacrifice worthwhile as he sings I've got a darling for a wife and These memories we're making tonight - two other fine songs. Two other excellent songs (September in Miami, Here in Frisco) compete an excellent album. I'm not sure if Keep moving on is still my absolute favorite original album by Merle but it'll always be special to me.

Portrait (the first album here) may not be quite as strong overall as Keep moving on, but it includes several classics including Working man blues, Silver wings and Hungry eyes. There are several other fine songs including What's wrong with staying home, I die ten thousand times a day and Every fool has a rainbow. At the very least, it is a worthy companion to Keep moving on.

If you want to explore Merle's music beyond the hits, you will find much of interest here.

Transitional Treasures.......2006-07-03

A quick little story: I once met Ian Tyson at a hotel restaurant in Taos, New Mexico, where a sculptor who knew him introduced me. Tyson was having his dinner, so my friend and I only spoke with him very briefly. Mr. Tyson was in town to do a show at that hotel's ballroom a little later that same evening, and of course, we had tickets. During the course of our very brief conversation I couldn't help but gush about some of my favorite music that he and his former wife and musical partner had created so many years earlier. I mentioned how much I loved all of the Vanguard albums, but that the first one I had ever heard had been the later MGM record, THE LOVIN' SOUND. Mr. Tyson's face visibly drooped. We moved on; later, my friend explained that this was Tyson's least favorite record and that he actually hated it and wished it was not out there to tarnish an otherwise fine body of work. Some of us are our own harshest critics...

THE LOVIN' SOUND does have its charms, but I can sort of see why Tyson doesn't care for it. It is almost a pop record, and it belongs in neither the folk-folk/rock category with the Vanguard classics, or the later, more country-leaning records, THE GREAT SPECKLED BIRD and YOU WERE ON MY MIND (the latter is one I'm still hoping will eventually see a CD reissue), and certainly not the entire cowboy music canon of Tyson's great solo career. But because it was the first vinyl album I ever owned by Ian & Sylvia, I have a sentimental attachment to it. "Windy Weather" is almost a jazz piece, while "National Hotel" is an amusing, old-timey tune with a vaudeville flavor. The other songs are harder to pin down, stylistically, and hover somewhere between folk and pop, with the beautiful "Where Did All The Love Go" and Johnny Cash's "Big River" headed in a decidedly country direction. "Hang On To A Dream" is my favorite song on the original LP, and their version of "Reason To Believe" tops any other rendition of the song that I've heard. According to the booklet, THE LOVIN' SOUND was recorded before the expiration of their contract with Vanguard, so Ian & Sylvia did one more studio record for that label, a very country oriented affair, appropriately titled NASHVILLE. That came together during the same period of time in which The Byrds created their breakthrough country-rock album SWEETHEART OF THE RODEO. Ian & Sylvia, Joan Baez and Buffy Sainte-Marie all made pilgrimages to Nashville to record albums when the rest of the folk acts were gravitating towards rock, fading into obscurity, or vanishing altogether. In retrospect, these acts can be seen as pretty cutting edge. Even Bob Dylan hopped onto the country bandwagon with his NASHVILLE SKYLINE album. In this stellar company, Ian & Sylvia were way ahead of the curve that headed eventually toward what became known as "alt.country." The current stars of the genre owe the above roster of folk pioneers a debt of gratitude, which, indeed, the more knowledgeable among them freely admit.

Next came Ian & Sylvia's second album for MGM, FULL CIRCLE, which continued down the country music path, and sealed their fate with what Sylvia calls "the Folk Nazis," who just couldn't bear the sight of an electric or pedal steel guitar on stage, and went "running for the exits!" In fact, it was during these few years when I think both singer/songwriters determined that they had finally come back to their roots and home. Country music had always been popular in Canada, and they had grown up listening to it. After their marriage and artistic partnership ended, they both stayed in the country genre. Tyson had the bigger, more successful career and all of his albums are worth investigating. FULL CIRCLE features some odd bedfellows, though. "I Learned From Leah" is really lovely and features some gorgeous pedal steel work, but then we have an amazing folk-rock epic with changing tempos called "Stories He'd Tell," and "Jickson Johnson" is a terrifying folk tale of robbery, abduction and murder, that has been done in many versions by several American and British folk acts through the years under various titles. It's a real nail-biter. There is a primo version of Dylan's "Tears Of Rage," too, so you can see that FULL CIRCLE, even with it's distinctive country-styled instrumentation is a rather eclectic project. In conclusion, LOVIN' SOUND and FULL CIRCLE are quite different, yet make an illuminating pair.

A lot of music for the money and it doesn't sound dated to me........2006-02-21

I bought this just to get "Lovin' Sound" which was a big hit in the United States when it was released. I have the 45 that my father bought back then. In fact, I bought this just to play that tune for him on a remastered CD (I assume) through a good stereo so he could hear all the detail he'd never heard before.

However, I ended up liking the whole disc much more than I thought I would. These two were good. Sylvia's voice is beautiful, more beautiful then most of the whiney guitar strumming coffehouse rock chicks of today.

So, why not give it a try? I'm not into folk and I like it. If you're into folk music you should love this stuff I would think.

Reissue of the MGM tracks.......2004-03-10

This set appears to combine the two albums Ian and Sylvia recorded for MGM after leaving Vanguard. While you can still hear the folk influence, there are clear pop influences as well, particularly in "Sunday", which I used as the theme for a television program in the early seventies.

"Reason to Believe" is the best cover I've heard of the Tim Hardin song--"If I listened long enough to you/I'd find a way to believe that it's all true/Knowing that you lied straight faced while I cried/Still I look to find a reason to believe"--recently covered by Rod Stewart.

Second drop from Playa Fly.......2006-04-09

Fly does it again in this one, the production in this one improves from the previous album. Almost all songs here are great, he has some guests that do their part too. Of course gangsta blac makes an appereance. Cop this also.

Write Sum Bump.......2005-09-09

Dis disc here so fye! Every song on here get progresively harder dan da last. Dat Write Sum Bump jus brang da whole album together. I'on kno why he ain't major yet.

once again playa fly delivers greatness. start runnin iz the best song on the cd, but therz PLENTY of other very good songs, so i'd recommend this herre to n e body who likes down south memphis rap. DEFINATELY fly's best cd!

Memphis Classic.......2004-04-11

This CD should be required listening not just for southern rap fans but for rap fans in general. Every song is something that you will want to listen to over and over again.

Playa Fly brings some amazing lyrical depth and cleverness throughout the entire album. No one is realer than Fly and you can't beat his patented flow. This album is almost entirely solo, but the guests (Gangsta Blac, Cool Bee, R-E-G, & DeRico) hold up there parts too. Producer Blackout makes sounds ranging from laid-back to upbeat to downright devilish. Playa Fly never relents on this album...he means every damn word that he says and that's why he's the greatest rapper ever, in my opinion.

This album is a tribute to that fact. Every word is perfectly placed. Any rap fan that doesn't own this album isn't really a rap fan.
