Customer Reviews:

There when I needed it........2006-02-25

My mother was dying in a hospice. We needed some music to play for her while she was there. Two of her favorite hymns were on the one cd. It was hard to find that. Amazon came through with the selection, and overnited it to me. My mother passed 2 days later. I'll always be grateful for that cd.

Hymns.......2005-07-28

Tennessee Ernie Ford was a very popular singer when I was a child and my parents and siblings loved to watch his TV show. He would always end the show with a hymn and I wanted to revisit those songs and the happy days of my youth. The Hymns and Ernie are as good as ever.

Magnificent.......2004-11-23

I bought this CD specifically for the song "My Faith Looks Up To Thee" which is hard to find on a CD. This hymn was written in 1830 by Ray Palmer (lyrics) and put to music later by Lowell Mason, a man Palmer met on the streets of Boston. Mason took home the lyric, wrote a melody, and a few days later found Palmer and told him no matter what Palmer did for the rest of his life, he would be remembered for the hymn.

Another gem here is "Just As I Am Without One Plea." This is the amazing story of Charlotte Elliot. This bedridden, sick woman was feeling sorry she could not help her pastor with his fundraising for charity as she was simply too sick. After writing this hymn in 1835, she was shocked to find copies of it being sold by the thousands. The proceeds were given to the very charity Charlotte thought she could not help. After she died in 1871, others found stacks of letters sent to her from all over the world, thanking her for changing their lives and bringing them to Christ.

These are not the only two historical hymns in collection.

This is not just a CD of the great hymns of our time. This CD is a living history of hymns going far back in time.

It is a treasure.

I am thankful I got a chance to see Tennessee Ernie Ford when he appeared on TV during his glory years.

Simply Perfect.......2003-10-29

The 1st CD of Mr. Ford's that I purchased was entitled Amazing Grace: 40 Treasured Hymns -- a year later and I still frequently pop that magnificent collection of hymns into the drive. I HAD to have more -- so I purchased 2 other Ernie hymn CDs (including this one) -- and these certainly do not disappoint. While these CDs are comprised of age-old favorite hymns, Mr. Ford's unique, flawless bass voice gives them added life. Blend Mr. Ford's pure, non-pretentious bass voice with a judicious mixture of crisp alto's and tenor's, as some of the selections do, and you are presented with truly, magnificent works of art that seem to never get old. Just drop the CD into the drive, sit back, relax, and let Mr. Ford sing you back home with this soothing collection of favorite hymns.

Give me that old time religion!.......2003-05-10

I set out to find a CD that contained the old hymns that I loved as a child, which have now seemed to have disappeared from the churches in my area. But, I also wanted hymns that I could sing along with. Well, with this CD I hit pay dirt!

This CD is a compilation of twenty-two of Tennessee Ernie Ford's (1919-91) most requested hymns. Sung with Ford's wonderful voice, the hymns are great to listen to. And more, I found that I could happily sing along with all but a couple which were sung a little to idiosyncratically for me (What a Friend We Have in Jesus is one, sadly).

Robeson's performances survive him.......2003-05-30

This album was recorded 1928 to 1939 and is republished by EMI. Except for the orchestrations (which are dated), the performances by Paul Robeson are current and fresh as ever. There is nothing in the content of the lyrics to indicate an origin of slavery or anything having to do with black stereotyping. Robeson has a rich, bass voice and he enunciates well. There are 20 numbers on this album and Robeson carries all of them well. In addition to Ol' Man River, there are St. Louis Blues, All Through the Night, Song of the Volga Boatman, and Dear Old Southland.

This is a valuable piece of American history and it's too bad the ultimate Paul Robeson couldn't have been recorded in latter decades with more modern equipment and arrangements.

Peacefulness.......2006-08-25

Great Elvis recording. All songs are recorded with the same cadence - the same basic beat. Mostly slow, yet with Elvis's trademark soaring voice. We played this CD over and over again as my father, an Elvis and gospel fan, lay dying. It brought peace to all of us. I highly recommend this particular recording for anyone going through a difficult time. Just listen to the samples and you'll see what I mean!

Great recordings.......2006-08-11

Elvis really shined when he record Gospel songs. He sang them from the heart. The songs on here are great, however it only includes 12 songs. Several other Elvis Gospel CDs are available that include more songs and would give you a better value for your money.

Amazing CD.......2007-01-21

I got the cd for my mom and she loved it, it has most of the holiday classics on it. It's great to listen to while trying to relax during the crazy holiday rush. Reminder of what the holidays should be about.

I love Mahalia Jackson!.......2006-07-04

I love Mahalia jackson,she was an awesome gospel singer with an unique and distictive voice that made her stand out from the rest.Her Christmas songs are truly classics like;Joy to the World,Go tell It on the Mountain,Sweet Little Jesus Boy,Hark The Herald Angels Sing and many others.If you are a true Mahalia Jackson fan you must and I mean must get this tape!Case closed.

The best christmas-commpilation on Mahalia Jackson's columbia takes.......2006-01-04

A rare found 'Mary' Boy Child Jesus Christ' can be heard on this commpilation, long out of print and only available as a 45 rmp thirty years ago.
The other titles are a good mix of the 3 Christmas LPs Mahalia had brought out with Columbia Records.

Simply the Greatest!!!.......2005-10-12

This is an awesome CD!! This is the 5th copy I have purchased for friends. Her rendition of "Silver Bells" is the best I have heard. I remember as a child, my parents playing this song on christmas eve. Mom was baking cookies and Dad was staying out of her way!! Pick this one up, you won't will not be sorry!!!

Probably the best Christmas CD - EVER.......2004-12-21

I have many Christmas CDs, from classics by Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Nana Mouskouri and Bing Crosby to modern jems by Jewel, Toni Braxton and Chris Isaak and modern atrocities by Christina Aguilera and Destiny's Child---and this one stands heads and shoulders above the rest. Her religious conviction, the timeless, traditional songs, the power of her voice and the classic, tasteful arrangements come together and deliver a CD that truly, truly, truly captures the essence of Christmas. Wonderful.

Great Blues.......2000-11-07

Josh White can rip your heart out with his blues, especially on songs like "One Meat Ball" (my personal favorite) and "Strange Fruit" (an even stronger version than Billie Holliday's). He has an intensity and style all his own, and I found this album to be a good cross-section of his work. His clear, pure voice adds to the pathos in an ironic way, and the accompanying guitar work is excellent. When you listen to his music, you get a real feel for what it's like to be down with no hope of ever getting up. His artistic mastery is unsurpassed.

We have to appreciate the Elder and Mature... Because when it came to Gospel this is it. Now we have music that makes you want to do the bump/grind... There should always be clarity when sing about The Lord. I have heard contempory artist say "We have to bring the Lord down to the Lord..No we have to bring ourselves up to meet his standards.. Ms. Jackson, can sang and you will be touched
