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

5 out of 5 stars classic album, 5 stars!!.......2006-10-24

This albums bangs from the beginning to the end with party jams and slow jams, an added bonus that he even raps on some of the tracks, I love songs on here like "It's Over", "Down On My Knees", "Don't Keep Me Waiting", "Back In LA", and of course the classic title track, Montell Jordan is a music genious, pick up this album right now if you don't have already!!!

5 out of 5 stars masterpiece.......2006-03-12

"This Is How We Do It" will always be a great party or club anthem. It Samples from Slick Rick's "Children's Story". Alot of the other songs seem to be based on that same type of party flow. Overall, great party CD

4 out of 5 stars Kool CD.......2006-02-24

About every track up here is hott but u got trackz like I Wanna & Coming Home that screw up da whole vibe b/e the trackz arent needed & their not good. Personally those 2 tracks gets on my nerves b/c how is singing & the beat on I Wanna & Coming Home but the trackz that are good is very good like Down on My Knees, Don't Keep Me Waiting, & I'll Do Anything(those are the slow Jamz). The other trackz are hott too. Another thing that i dont really like is Close the Door. Montell did his thing on that track(Close the Door) but i dont like the added stuff they did to the beaz & besides if i really wanted 2 hear that track I would pop on some Pendergrass...Nuff Said. Nice CD

3 out of 5 stars One of the best songs but not one of his best albums.......2005-09-05

I'm an album person. I like the most of the album to be listenable. This album wasn't. It had 4 songs - Something 4,payback,daddy's home, of course the title track. I think he tried to implement "This is how we do it" into most of his songs. But if u like the 4 songs only on this albums. Buy all of his albums because this and Get it on tonite are the worst one!

5 out of 5 stars This is the REAL r&b!.......2000-10-11

This is absolutely the best album ever made, This Is How We Do It represent the real party anthem and although Montell still is a great singer, his debut album remains his best work yet. This is a classic and nothing's gonna change my mind about it.

    Amazon.com essential recording

    This is a considerably expanded version of the soundtrack album to Vincente Minnelli's Oscar-winning film. With two discs and 100 minutes of music (much of which is presented for the first time), these original session masters are highlighted by the MGM Studio Orchestra, Oscar Levant, Benny Carter, and Gene Kelly, all of whom perform such memorable Gershwin tunes as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Love Is Here to Stay," and "S'Wonderful." Just about all of the material has a monotonously mono sound, but Levant's version of "Concerto in F" is included here for the first time in true stereo. Along with several Levant improvisational piano solos based on Gershwin's music, there are also some outtakes as well as extensive production and historical notes. --Joseph Lanza

    5 out of 5 stars Magic of love.......2007-03-10

    Nothing but Gene and George: the hard work and the happiness in music, conducting by the magician Vince.
    Noone is better, noone could do better.
    American masterpiece with european feelings.

    5 out of 5 stars Filled with musical gems.......2004-02-17

    This comprehensive edition is a must have for fans of the movie and of the Gershwins. The outtakes, contrary to the first review above, are excellent. Gene Kelly offers a wonderful vocal of "I've Got a Crush on You" and his short riff on "'S Wonderful" is almost like an acoustic version, much different than the over-the-top duet in the movie. And the Oscar Levant piano pieces are as close to George sitting down at the keys as we're going to get.

    4 out of 5 stars TOO LONG !!!!!!!!!!!.......2002-06-17

    I would not suggest buying this version of this sondtrack!!! The underscores and the extra tracks that are not featured in the film are not neccesary. Rhino records puts the extras out to jack up the price of the CD (making one LP into 2 CDs).
    I would buy the ORIGINAL CAST SOUNDTRACK released by MGM records. You will enjoy this version ever so much more without all the extras!!!

    5 out of 5 stars GERSHWIN'S TALENT.......2001-08-12

    Many agree that the talented George Gershwin is a fabulous pianist, and alongside Ira, he helped to create some of the most beloved music ever. After viewing the movie that was filled with song and dance, I was pleased to discover that the soundtrack was readily available. The plot of An American in Paris mainly focuses on the lives of three friends and their dreams in addition to the romance that they encounter in the most popular European city. Gene Kelley is a struggling artist who soon falls in love, and the many songs in this cd express his emotions. Who wouldn't want to dance to Gershwin's spectacular tunes such as "Embraceable You?" These original songs included in this two cd set are well worth the price. Furthermore, "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" is a true favorite with unique lyrics. Don't miss out on this must have cd collection.

    5 out of 5 stars Ga Ga for Gershwin.......2000-12-13

    Nearly every popular Gershwin tune is represented here, either as an instrumental, a vocal, or a production number. I am not a big fan of the film, but the soundtrack is fabulous. There are some stereo tracks here, too. Yet another triumph in the Turner/Rhino soundtrack collection of MGM films.As a sidenote I would like to thank Rhino for their extremely co-operative staff. When I bought this CD I opened up the very extensive booklet and was disappointed to find that due to an error on the assembly line I had received an insert that had some pages repeated and others deleted. I contacted Rhino and they sent me a new booklet which arrived within a week! That's what I call excellent customer service. The really neat thing is the fact that I have both booklets. The flubbed copy is sort of a collector's item to me.

      5 out of 5 stars Melba has got it goin' on..........2007-05-08

      Most of today's R&B divas need to take it back and listen to some of Ms. Moore. After her departure from the contemporary R&B scene, most R&B music has been somewhat lackluster in my opinion. Ms. Moore took every song she had and gave it feeling, truth, and emotion. And don't even get me started on Paul Laurence Jones III, Kashif, and Van McCoy, with their superior production and songwriting! Take the music and couple it with Ms. Moore's urgent, soulful, velvety voice and you have some of R&B's finest underrated, hidden treasures. Personal faves: Love's Comin' at Ya, Take My Love, Mind Up Tonight, Keepin' My Lover Satisfied.

      5 out of 5 stars 80's Soul At It's Peak.......2006-04-18

      Melba Moore gave us some good music throughout the 80's. I love everything about this album. The Lala composition "Livin' For Your Love" is one of my faves! Sexy, funky and sleek! Get this!

      2 out of 5 stars This ain't it!.......2005-10-13

      I love Melba's voice and many of her recordings but they never should have re-named this cd after the real THIS IS IT album produced by Van McCoy. Melba Moore did most of her finest recordings with McCoy which were not necessarily her biggest hits but splendid performances. It's too bad that the memory of Van McCoy (a great singer, composer, arranger and conductor) has been relegated to Disco because of 2 or 3 major hits that he had during the 70's. The real THIS IS IT album has most of his Melba Moore corroborations on it. Save your money for the real thing. This is not a good example of the BEST of Melba Moore.

      4 out of 5 stars At her best........2005-05-13

      Melba Moore's Capitol releases from 1980-89 yielded a number of Top 20 R&B hits for her. The various producers she worked with (Paul Laurence, Kashif, McFadden & Whitehead,etc.) gave her many fine songs which showcased her vocal talents while simultaneously keeping her in contemporary R&B circles. While her recent CDs leave much to be desired, Melba Moore was a great diva in her own right and this is her best collection to date.

      5 out of 5 stars I still love this album 8 years since I bought the CD! .......2004-09-27

      Melba Moore is still one of my favorite singers. I loved that 1982 to 1990 period of hits that she had! This album has her best music! I had never heard the first hits from 1975, but they were quite impressive, the starting point to a successful music career. I think that the trio of albums she did in '85, '86 and '88 are her best and it's well represented on this album. The rocking Read My Lips, the nice It's Been So Long, A Little Bit More, I Can't Complain, Love the One I'm With and others. One song I never heard that was a hit was Living For Your Love and she sounds fabulous vocally on that one. The first Melba song I ever heard was You Stepped Into My Life, that Bee Gees remake, and I still love that song. She could do disco quite good on that one, even though her forte is midtempo to slow ballads. The songs are well assembled here to show her many vocal styles on them. They're not in chronological order, but they sound good together. Perhaps her best performance is Lean on Me, where she holds that note for 22 seconds or so! She has a way with that voice of hers! The same way with Falling. Last year, I saw her sing on Beyonce's movie The Fighting Temptations. She still has it today with her singing and I hope that her venture into gospel goes well too. This album covers her music career very strongly and it's just a true representation of her talent.

      4 out of 5 stars A must have selection.......2007-06-13

      This UK sampler compilation hit the shops in June 1969 to immediate acclaim and very strong sales, helped in no small part by its very reasonable price of 12/6d (62.5p). From the record label's point of view it was a way of promoting soul music in the absence of any regular mainstream radio exposure. For the punters it was a way to get hold of an awesome bunch of recent hits and some very credible looking lesser known tracks from the much respected Stax and Atlantic labels. Knock On Wood? Sweet Soul Music? When A Man Loves A Woman? All on the same record by the original artists and costing no more than the hopeless wooden recreations found on budget Top Of The Pops albums or Embassy label singles! This was almost unheard of at the time, though samplers like CBS's The Rock Machine Turns You On and Island's You Can All Join In were beginning to appear.

      All twelve tracks are here in this replica reissue, the first time it has appeared on CD, book ended by two of Wilson Pickett's finest and featuring timeless classics by Otis and Carla, and Aretha's smoldering Atlantic debut, I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You). Sam and Dave are represented by the excellent but long forgotten I Got Everything I Need, to be found on the B-side of the monster hit Hold On, I'm Coming. Each track sounds as fresh and vital as the day it was made.

      All but one of the twelve tracks are in mono (Aretha Franklin is the exception), and though I am a stereo aficionado, I have to admit that Knock On Wood in mono packs a punch that the stereo mix lacks. The vinyl release of the album was stereo-playable-mono and may well have contained a number of mono versions.

      To the original half-hour of vinyl Rhino have added a further forty-six minutes of matching items, every one a winner, all taken from the Stax/Volt/Atlantic/Atco cluster of labels.

      It is sad to see how many of the names are no longer with us: Otis, Wilson Pickett, King Curtis, Arthur Conley, Johnny Taylor, Dave Prater (of Sam and Dave), Joe Tex (here as one of the Soul Clan). Most tracks were recorded in Tennessee with Booker T and the MG's or in Alabama with the Muscle Shoals crew, and some were bigger hits than those on the original record. Of the lesser known, the Mad Lads' update of Lee Dorsey's Get Out Of My Life Woman stands out, as does Jeanne and the Darling's Soul Girl, a riposte or homage, take it as you will, of Sam and Dave's Soul Man. Again the grooves are predominantly mono, with just six stereo mixes, Aretha's Save Me and Barbara Lynn's majestic You're Losing Me among them.

      Rhino have kept to the spirit of the original album and been generous with the bonus selections, making this a must have selection, complementing classic compilations like Sock It to Em Soul and Where It's At: Soul in the Midnight Hour.

      4 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!.......2005-10-08

      This is probably the best hip hop CD to be released in 1996. It stays true to the roots of hip hop. Kwest's style and humor is reminiscent of Pharcyde's first album "Bizzare Ride II The Pharcyde". Which if you listen carefully, he's listening to that album in his car in one of the skits. I am very sad to see this was his only album. The beats on this album are top notch. It's great that in 1996, he was still keeping that sample-based true hip hop feel. Last I read, he was actually homeless, and had to do an interview from a payphone or something. If that's true, it's such a shame, because this is one of the most talented, original, and funny, emcees to ever be in the game.

      5 out of 5 stars absolute classic.......2005-09-18

      this is a very impressive cd, he hasnt done anything since, but kwest has a quick, slick flow and is very humorous, but he also speaks on some issues too. the beats on the album are all made by unknown producers, but they are some of the best i ever heard in hip hop. i wholeheartedly urge you to get this album, as in a few years there prolly wont be many copies left and its the kinda ish youll play to death.

      4 out of 5 stars Kwest is the blueprint of a freestyle/battle MC........2005-07-16

      This album was an amazing surprise and I loved it.
      I first heard of Kwest in an old issue of "The Source," where a small article wrote about a NY battle he took part in...later released on limited ed. vinyl, entitled "Biography of an ass-whuppin'." It was dubbed by the "The Source" as one of the dopest, most degrating (of the other guy) one-sided battles they've ever heard. That got me wonderin'.

      Later I copped an old issue of "Rap Pages" w/ Kwest on the cover...the issue was called "Who the %$@* is Kwest tha Madd Ladd?" He had a 8 page article about him and his album (which dropped in '96). That was the last straw, so shortly afterwards I bought this album.

      Let's say I had no idea what to expect. I read that Kwest was a wizard w/ his words and charismatic as hell...well, he's all that and...(insert favorite played-out metaphor here).

      This album is pure fun. More than half the songs deal w/ the oppostie sex in many different scenarios: "Disnexone" is about trying to find the perfect ho in a sea of ugly fish, "101 Things..." is self-explanitory, "Daddiez Home" is about what happens when Pops catches you phuckin' his princess, "Butta-few-co" is about hookin' up w/ a 13 year old (sounds gross, but he flips it mad jokes style). So you get the idea.

      The best track is his freestyle joint "Blase Blah," where you fully understand that this man was born to rhyme...he flips some of the craziest sh*t w/ a flow that knows no bounds.

      The production is dope, but not so dope that it outshines Kwest's lyrical lickin'. Think of the production on Ras Kass' "Soul on Ice," dope enough to keep you noddin', but low-key enough to not out-shine Ras and just let him do his thing.

      Most of all Kwest makes you laugh and smile...his talent shines on this LP...it's pure carefree fun, not a commercial crumb in it.

      Bottom Line: I love this album. Kwest is very unique and has personality fallin' outta his pockets. 4 1/2 stars (only 'cause 5 would be a classic). COP IT! Peace.
