Michael, his music and friendship.......2006-03-19

I met Michael during the 1980s when he traveled extensively on AIDS projects and conferences, speaking engagements and also with the FLIRTATIONS. I spent twenty-six years as a massage therapist, and on numerous times that he flew into Dallas-Fort Worth, he would call and ask for an appointment. Not only was he a kind and creative and bright spirit, but he always loved my personal and caring massages. As with all win/win situations, I in turn found a creative mind, clever, genuine and always a sparkle about his life. Along with enjoying his music the rest of my life, I'll always cherish the memories of time spent in his presence.

flawed but still..........2002-08-31

The FLIRTATIONS (Jon Arterton, Michael Callen, Aurelio Font, TJ Myers, and Cliff Townsend) were an openly-gay acapella quartet in 1990 when they released this album, and it is a charming but uneven effort. The singers are obviously talented, and their material ranges from doo-wop to a gospel sound. Some of the tracks are nothing less than delightful -- a gay version of "Surfin' USA" that works better than it seems like it would, and the gentle power of pride in songs like "Everything Possible" and "Something Inside So Strong." Yet some of the tracks sound a bit amateurish, maybe a little sloppy. But all in all, it's very moving and important, and also a lot of fun. And it's one of the few recordings of Michael Callen's remarkable voice and charisma.

Fabulous!.......2000-10-14

This has become my favorite CD after rediscovering the Flirtations a few weeks ago. The songs are all worth listening to over and over again. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it because I don't ever listen to a capella, but they are all so talented that I'm sure instruments would take away from their great sound. The Flirtations should also be hailed for their activism and their ability to mix humor with serious social messages. Anyway, this is a great CD, and I strongly recommend it. Also check out their other CDs, if you get the chance!

Fun, funny a cappella!.......1999-08-31

This cd is one that every a cappella-lover should have in their collection. With lovely ballads (like Breaths and Wallflower), classics (Blue Moon and Lida Rose), and fast or funny tunes (Santa Maria and The Flirt Song), this one has something that everyone will like. Two songs, Everything Possible and On Children, will touch your heart - they're gorgeous! The Flirtations obviously had fun making this one, and it's a great, harmony-packed group of songs - you won't regret getting it.

AMAZING.......2003-10-29

I saw these guys perform live about 10 years ago in college live and they were amazing. It's sad to listen to the CD after the death of the lead singer when I was able to see him in person perform "Everything Possible". What a powerful and emotional song. Wish I knew what the group was up to now.

Awesome.......2002-03-09

I bought this cd and I thought it was incredible. The variety of songs are amazing and these men have amazing talent! One minute you are laughing and the next you want to cry!

Don't miss out on an opportunity to buy it - you will not regret it!

Great when I'm straight!.......2001-11-05

These guys are amazing. The musicianship, timing, harmonies, it's all there. Yes, they're playing live to a primarily gay audience, but I still appreciate the humor, and definitely the angst. Everything Possible brought me to tears as my daughters went off to college. Listen to the clips. If you like what you hear, you'll love the album.

Great When They're Straight.......2001-07-04

The Flirtations are a phenomenal acappella offering. Their harmonies are virtually flawless, and that flawlessness and timing become even more remarkable when you realise that this is a live CD and not a studio offering of many takes. The Flirtations are also a gay group, which does not mean that they're a group comprised of gay singers, but instead means that they are gay men who sing songs deliberately geared towards the gay and lesbian community. That being said, many of their songs are well worth listening by those who are "homosexually challenged." Tracks such as "Living in Wartime," "My Buddy / I'll Be Seeing You," and "Something Inside So Strong" may be aimed at a gay audience, but their power (both in the singing and in the lyrics) can well be appreciated by any listener. Unfortunately, I did not find this true of all their tracks. "Mister Sandman" and "Boy from New York City" are both so far over the top (especially the latter) that I ultimately do not find them enjoyable. I should make some allowance for the fact that this is a live CD and that they were playing to an appreciative live audience. Perhaps it's because I simply don't get the jokes, but I found that I preferred their more straight up (hence the title of this review) renderings. Finally, I found the spoken "One of Us" portion to be very moving, even if it sort of becomes less surprising/shocking upon repeated listenings.

Love the Flirts!.......2000-12-24

These guys are amazing! The quality of musicianship is unparalleled. Their harmonies are flawless, and the fact that they fill up the entire album with no instrumental backup was unbeleivable and a joy to listen to. I've always loved a capella music, and finding a group of 5 gay men, singing joyfully and shamelessly (many of the old standards have a definite "queer" twist) was such an uplifting event for me. Also, in one of the songs, "One of Us" they reveal telling secrets about themselves, including in one case, a man who has been living with AIDS for 10 years ("And he's TIRED of it!") Unfortunately, one of the members, Michael Callen, has died since the release of this album. But this is a joy for gay and lesbian folk everywhere. They are committed to ending persecution and intolerance of GLBT folks everywhere, and all members of the "family" should own this collection. BTW, other favourite songs on this album are "Mister Sandman" (with a definite gay twist), their take on "Boy from New York City," and the lovely lullaby "Everything Possible." How I wish my parents had sung this to me when I was a child (before I came out). Check it out!

Album Description

“Broadway: Love & Laughter” is terrific. Singer/actress Eileen Mager performs twenty-three of the greatest songs from Broadway musicals in a way you won't soon forget. There are some real oldies, as well as more current songs, and everything from tear-jerkers to laugh riots. They have great lyrics (and you'll understand all the words) and great tunes. She'll have you laughing and crying and having a ball. Ellen Brown's accompaniments offer just the right touch -- for example, “Little Girl Blue” has a great blues sound to it. This is a CD not to be missed, and perfect gift for friends and family.

Broadway musicals have always been about love in its infinite forms. This has resulted in a huge crop of wonderful love songs — joyous, sad, flirtatious, angry, passionate, mischievous, touching. They range from the deeply serious to the out and-out hilarious, as, come to think of it, does love itself.

So in this recording, West Side Story's Maria proclaims her joy in “I Feel Pretty” and South Pacific's Nellie Forbush displays similar feelings in “A Wonderful Guy.”

We also have Guys & Dolls's Adelaide singing “Adelaide's Lament” about the cold she's developed because of the frustration of a 14-year engagement to Nathan Detroit that seems destined never to result in a wedding.

Pal Joey's Vera, a sophisticated “older” woman, who knows Joey isn't worth it, sings about finding herself nonetheless “Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered.”

Of course, Kate of Kiss Me, Kate, in no uncertain terms, announces “I Hate Men,” while Oklahoma's irrepressible Ado Annie sings “I Cain't Say No.”

On the Town's lady taxi driver, Hildy, tries to convince us of her total desirability with the madcap seduction of “I Can Cook, Too,” while Sally of Follies sings of her total immersion in her love in one of Broadway's most touching love songs, “Losing My Mind.”
