Product Description
George-Diamond Girl ablum has a smooth urban contemporary sound that creeps into the inner-most area of your imagination.

George delivers the lyrics in "Diamond Girl in a laid-back way that's soothing to ears.

George walks the listener through a day in his life fantasizing about the love of a "Diamond Girl", who disappears in her limosine during "Misty Night". "No matter how hard he tries, he'll never get to her because her price is too high for him"

The track features the female rapper Michelle delivering her sound in an urban contemporary bad girl style.

"We Miss You (tribute to Sam Cooke)", is a song that's talks about the life and tragic death of the late legendary pop/soul singer Sam Cooke.

The track style is adult contemporary with an interesting guitar solo in the middle.

Again, George delivers the lyrics in his usual laid-back style that catches the very essence of your mind and soul.

The song introduce and feathers Tony in the backing vocals.

Another Seventies Duo With A big Sound.......2006-10-05

This is another of those '70s groups which all sounded alike. I thought they had recorded "Sweet Surrender" and led CSouthcott astray back in the past by suggesting such. He didn't look very far. Diamond Girl was their best, in my opinion, but 'We May Never Pass This Way Again' and 'Summer Breeze' are what gets played today. I wish someone would resurrect 'Diamond Girl" just once.

memories.......2005-07-30

This is just the best music and memories of the best times of my life. My daughter was named after the song Jessica, and I could not find the song anywhere so she has never heard it. 24 years old and she will now get to hear where her name came from. This is something everyone who grew up in the 70's should have, and take out and listen to when you need to smile.

About time..........2005-06-29

Like many I owned this in Vinyl and was amazed it took so long To come out.
And to those who said they found this album a little bit sappy, I say "So the hell what." Everything in that era was sappy and if your worried that a little sappiness may alter your manhood then I recommend against the purchase of this Cd.
But if you want to listen to something thats gonna make you feel pretty damn good this is it.
S&C have a well blended album here. The well known and recognized "Diamond girl" followed by "Ruby jean and Billy Lee"leads it off.
Both were big hits and still sound good.
"Intone my servant" follows and though not a hit you'll wonder why. like all the others a beautifully uplifting harmonic piece.
"We may never pass this way again" another hit shows once again how S&C can change a beautifull melody and lift your soul right out of your body and make it fly.
"Nine houses" starts off kinda odd (The song has a mid east flare to it) but hear it out. Vocals will come in lator and pick it up.
"Standing on a mountain top" by far is one of my favorites a great countryish sound and a really great sounding guitar in this one that'll make you feel like dancing and singing to it.
"It's gonna come down on you" a minor hit shoulda been "major" starts off mellow and beautifull and like most of there songs in this album just lifts you right up with an increase in tempo.
"Jessica" has got to be the most sappy song of the bunch. But, Hey! my niece's name is "Jessica and It was once a favorite of mine and still is a beautifull song.
""Dust on my saddle" A country diddy that you may find yourself singing word for word after some time.
"Wisdom" is the only song I never listen to its a jazzy piece and I dont care for Jazz much but even I gotta admit they do show off their talent on the horns.
In short this is a great album from beginning to end (Which is rare to find nowadays) and really represents the times in which it was written (Early 70's)
ENJOY

a great duo, but they were really off their game here.......2005-05-20

I think Seals & Crofts are a really underappreciated duo who made a lot of great music over the course of their initial run from 1969-1980. However, 1973's "Diamond Girl" is a painfully weak record which, ironically, was also their highest charting album in the US, peaking at #4--these two things don't sit together well, and as a result, it becomes easy to understand why many people would trash the group. It does start off great with the somewhat jazzy title track which was a big hit, and alas, has received an endless amount of airplay over the years, so it's likely that you may be rather sick of it. "We May Never Pass This Way (Again)" certainly displays songwriting craft and also has some touching sentimentality, but it's sickly-sweet and the merciless amount of airplay it's received over the years doesn't entirely help. "Ruby Jean And Billie Lee", written for the duo's wives who are featured on the back cover, is an overwrought ballad with some really clumsy and cringe-worthy turns of phrase. "Nine Houses" is one of their characteristic epic tributes to the Baha'i faith, and despite the accomplished musicianship, it feels thrown together and incoherent, failing to build up momentum, and it starts to really drag over the course of its 7-minute length. "Jessica" is a sickly-sweet pop tune that also suffers from some corny melodicism as well as the guitar + mandolin breaks that interrupt the flow of the song. "Standin' On A Mountain Top" and "Dust On My Saddle" are both tracks that James Seals had written in the '60s, and they sure do sound like they were hauled out in desperation as if the duo hadn't be able to come up with enough strong new material--the former is a generic bluesy rocker, and the latter is country-western fluff with silly 'spoken' sections and an overly-repeated chorus. The album closing instrumental "Wisdom", which sounds like something you're likely to hear in a driver's education feature from the early '70s, has James Seals demonstrating his technical proficiency on the saxophone, but his playing rambles on as if he was more interested in merely showing off than anything else. On the more positive side, "Intone My Servant" does have some catchiness and a nice bluesy feel on the chorus, and the ballad "It's Gonna Come Down (On You)" is okay, although it feels underdeveloped. All that said, this is NOT the album to use if you're trying to demonstrate the excellence that this duo frequently offered--writer's block seems to have been the key problem, but the strange thing is that their 1976 masterpiece album "Get Closer" contains 3 songs that are copyrighted no later than 1972, so it's a mystery why Seals would haul out a track like "Dust On My Saddle" when he had a gem like "Don't Fail" waiting in the wings. Even with the extremely low list price of $6.98 that this CD is currently going for, the album is so weak and lacking standout songs that it's really not the bargain you may initially think it is; apart from the title track, there's not a single track on the whole damn album that's truly a gem--you keep hoping with each passing song that there must be at least a gem or two, but to no avail. I do want to add though that one can't help but wonder if healthy sales of this CD would help to FINALLY spur Rhino to release other Seals & Crofts albums on CD which remain woefully unavailable. Still, "Diamond Girl" is a terrible introduction to their work and should really only be sought out by Seals & Crofts' biggest fans.

Vintage folk-rock tunes clearly rooted to the mid-70s .......2005-05-06

Diamond Girl" is a vintage collection of folk-rock tunes clearly rooted to the mid-70s and one of the finer albums to emerge from that cluttered genre. Though Seals and Crofts were a duo, their fine-honed sound would not have caught the public's ear without the able assistance of producer Louie Shelton, who really shaped and smoothed their sound, and multi-instrumentalist Jim Lichtig, who shares writing credits for several Seals and Crofts' songs. A cast of fine session musicians contribute as well, and the set.

I would say that nearly all of us who listened to the radio back when this CD was popular will always recognize the opening chords of Diamond Girl within a millisecond and drew comfort and permission from the philosophy in We May Never Pass This Way (Again). This CD has other jewels as well, Nine Houses, Jessica, and Wisdom, and all in all contains more Baha'i themes than some find comfortable. A pair of older tracks, such as Dust on My Saddle and Standin' on a Mountain Top, both penned before there was a Seals and Crofts, do not hold up as well.

Note that this CD is not actually a Warner Brothers release, which may bode well for those, like myself, hoping to see more of this duo's catalog appear on CD. After their antiabortion stance on a later recording, "Unborn Child," the band's popularity began to wane and they found themselves being judged more on politics than music.

This set tells you why Jussi Bjorling is a perennial entrant in the "Tenor of the Century" sweepstakes. Even as the voice darkens from the light lyric to the full, darker instrument of the later recordings, we hear a singer whose elegant style, lovely timbre and innate musicality touch the heart. Many of the selections are sung in Swedish, less of a liability than you might suppose. In whatever language, Bjorling's molten gold flows lavishly. He eschews the sobs and sentimentality that disfigure so much verismo repertory, making his points with stylish vocalism. He's been called a "cool" singer, but try his Puccini and Verdi arias on Disc One and you'll find more than enough vocal and emotional heat. The selections include many neglected Scandinavian songs, sung, like the arias, with a naturalness that disarms criticism. -- Dan Davis

Amazon.com

Swedish tenor Jussi Björling gets many votes for the distinction of greatest all-time tenor. Up to the end, the voice projected a boyish vulnerability, though he also had enough stentorian power to sing the heavy Puccini roles and was ready to take on Lohengrin when he died. He was so deeply musical he eschewed the usual tenor vulgarity without ever slighting the music's theatricality. Even these four well-filled discs of arias and songs can't fully encompass the vocal riches he left behind, but there's a lot here, much of it from his earliest years and (hope you don't mind) sung in a Swedish translation. --David Patrick Stearns

Customer Reviews:

Superb!.......2001-07-29

This is an wonderful compilation of one of the most incredible voices on record. Whether you are a new or old Bjorling fan -- and who could hear that voice and not be enthralled by it -- this is a fine CD to have. The quality of the recording is excellent, and the range in years, from 1930 to 1959, gives a splendid overview of his dazzling talent. In addition to many of the arias one might expect, there are also lieder and songs in Swedish, as well as some charming duets with Jussi's wife, Anna-Lisa. I have quite a few other Bjorling CDs, and this is one of the best in terms of quality and scope. It is a most worthy addition to any Bjorling collection, regardless of its size.

Beatiful singing - but where are the Swedish texts?.......2001-06-22

This is an excellent collection, the best available overview of a great tenor.

This would get 4 stars but has been marked down for only supplying token texts and translations in the large booklet. It is understandable (sort of) that the Italian opera excerpts don't merit texts and translations as (apart from the Callas recitals series) EMI generally doesn't provide texts with historical issues. However the tempting inclusion of a dozen or so texts to the Italian and Swedish songs makes one all the more aware of the miserliness of not providing all the texts.

if you like bjorling this is the best thing you can get!.......2000-06-26

this is so awesome, i love his voice, this is good for anyone, the professional or just someone who wants to hear the greatest tenor of all times! this is so great

The ULTIMATE Collection.......1999-11-02

When starting my Bjorling collection, I saw MANY CDs, with his early recordings. I was in a quandry as to what to buy, UNTIL I found this set. TRULY remarkable in many levels.FIRST and foremost, the voice. Captured in all levels, from the earliest to the latest. Truly wonderful, and the Swedish versions are a real treat to hear, don't worry, the Italian versions are here too!!Secondly, the remastering process. This set was remastered at Abbey Studios in London. For the first time I've heard, they actually pressed NEW 78s from the metal plates, and THEN remastered the new discs!!! Inspired, and the results--incredible.I find myself listening to Disc 3 the most. Very interesting, as it is the Swedish one. When the songs are terrific, along with the "standard" tenor arias, and it all comes together, it is PURE MAGIC!! I will admit that due to time limitations of recordings of this era, the opera house Bjorling is not fully conveyed. There are other CDs for that. Most notably "Romeo and Juliet", and for a REAL thrill, his ATLANTA concert, in STEREO, so much so, that the piano is even divided; left hand left, right hand right. Wait a minute, am I playing TWISTER??:-)) But if you want to skip all those unknown labels, you couldn't have a MORE complete set. ALL wit the great remastering I spoke of. Bjorling--His voice will NEVER die, at least in MY house!!!

Definitive survey of one of the finest singers on record.......1998-09-25

Jussi Bjoerling was one of the greatest singers of the century. His voice is pure, effortless and yet thrilling. Even better than the quality of the voice is his style. He never scoops up to a note nor does he ever whoop down from one, instead, he uses perfect legato and faultless intonation to deliver the cleanest sound you'll ever hear from a tenor.

From an audio technical point of view this recording is way ahead of its competitors considering it was 1928 and electrical recording had just been invented. I like the fact you can clearly understand every single word she sings. I for one am looking forward to hearing any new releases. I know more masters do exist

Some good 20's pop singing..........2000-05-19

Vaughn DeLeath was a popular vocalist during the late 20's. A very popular radio star, who was definately under the influence of Annette Hanshaw(a superior jazz singer from the same era) however she is limited in her style by also being influenced by Al Jolson, therefor there are plenty of sappy overly dramatic ballads, and vaudevillian style singing, at times almost operetic, though not bad for a singer in the pre Crosby & Armstrong 20's. Try Annette Hanshaw if you want pure jazz singing in the 20's.

The First Lady Of Radio.......2007-01-16

Vaughn DeLeath ("The Original Radio Girl") was credited with inventing "crooning," a style later employed by Bing Crosby and others. DeLeath did so to solve a technical problem. Early linear radio amplifier tubes were delicate and suseptible to shorting out from powerful female vocalists, so DeLeath cooed her numbers in a low, lullabye style.

In the 1920s, Vaughn DeLeath was quite popular. Today, very few remember who she was. This is a shame, because this gal's mellow alto voice was so pleasant to hear. Several sides on EDISON LATERALS 5 * VAUGHN DELEATH are never-released test pressings. The laterally recorded discs the EDISON company made in the last year or so of its existence were treated with indifference, shoved onto dusty shelves in the Edison Laboratory attic. That any have survived at all is miraculous.

Some tracks in this set would nowadays be considered politically incorrect, as they're sung in dialect. "Mah Lindy Lou," "Dusky Stevedore" and "Honey, I'se A Waitin' Jes' Fo' Yo'" are examples of what were once called "coon songs," while "Mariana" has DeLeath using a pseudo-Italian accent. On many selections here, she performs with only piano backup, which is usually the way DeLeath appeared on NBC radio. And that is the appeal of this album-- the chance to turn back the clock to the 1920s and experience "The First Lady Of Radio" in her element.
