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

One of his absolute best, four and 1/2 stars.......2007-05-08

Personally, I don't think that Al Kooper ever made a bad album, and this one is certainly among his best. It may not have the high points of I Stand Alone, but it doesn't have the low points either (Soft Landing On The Moon comes to Mind). I love Magic In My Socks, a great lead-off track. Al's horn charts are the best. This album also includes Al's 1st huge effort at a chart hit, the title track. It's most definitely a 'should have been' hit, but didn't make it, and Al never tried so hard at chart success again.

The low points are several originals, Lucille and Blues, Pt. 4 (just a jam, really). But, as usual, Al's R&B covers hit the mark, and the production of the album really shines, making even the mediocre material listenable. All in all a great listen, if you can find it. Personally, I was lucky enough to find a still sealed LP for not much money. I'm a happy camper.

wrong lineup.......2003-02-17

This is a great old album, but the listing of songs is wrong in this write-up. Instead of Christmas songs, look for classics such as Loretta, Too Busy Thinkin' 'Bout My Baby, I Don't Know Why I Love You, and of course You Never Know Who Your Friends Are. Kooper moves the listener from laughter to tears as he belts out the laments of love and friendship. It is a great line up and worthy of a spot in any collection.
