Like the Beatles' The Beatles 1, this rundown of Stevie Wonder chestnuts is merciless in cutting a huge list of classic tracks down to a single disc's worth of the most recognizable. Anyone who's treasured even one or two of these songs and yet never bought a Wonder record will be more than pleased with the acquisition of The Definitive Collection. These records continue to ring with importance and history, but more important, all except two or three remain fresh and capable of surprising even veteran fans. Those listeners may note, though, that Wonder is among the few performers who could release a retrospective containing 15 No. 1 R&B hits and still invite the complaint that the album felt incomplete--not least in explaining how the man transformed himself from a multitalented teenage hitmaker into the funk-pop visionary of Talking Book, Innervisions, and Songs in the Key of Life. --Rickey Wright

Album Details

Compact Selection of Great Early Hits from the Former Boy Wonder of the Keyboard and Resident Genius of Berry Gordy's Motown Records.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars no idea what this is.......2007-07-16

some of the songs I had not heard. But my favorite song was on this cd so I purchased it.

5 out of 5 stars Essential Stevie.......2007-07-09

This is the essential collection of Stevie Wonder. This CD provides a great cross section of the many talents of Stevie Wonder from his early days to his experiments with funk and jazz. Nearly every song sounds different in style and form because of the breadth and depth of SW's career. Great addition to the CD collection of you're a Stevie fan and you want a single representation of his fantastic career.

5 out of 5 stars How high can we rate an artist?.......2007-07-01

You know, with Mr. Wonder we reach for superlatives and we slap them down on paper and looking back on it we realize that the meaning of our impression is deeper yet. Listening to this retrospective of his best hits I was dazzled at how many there were, how many I remembered, how many years ago it all started and how the purity just carries on. While there is a substantial pool of anger, resentment and rage amongst African Americans and many choose to vent their spleen in their music, Stevie Wonder chose a different path. Perhaps it is just a reflection of the love in his being, but his music always keeps pointed to a positive message, even when he is lamenting the scourge of ghetto life.

This master musician, singer, songwriter and story teller has no peer who eclipses his place. He has given us funk so hot you just have to get up and gyrate on the floor lest you fall off your chair. He has given us love songs so tender that dozens of other singers have sung them to great acclaim for their own careers. It is not an exaggeration to say that with this genius, his reach has never extended beyond his abilities. They go hand in hand, his ability to manifest his deepest creativity is unimpeded. A person cannot be without this compilation and say that they have surrounded themselves with the best of American Afro funk, jazz and pop. It only remains for us to wait for more music to fill up the already substantial opus that he has created. A greater joy in music is hard to come by. Essential.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Purchase.......2007-06-27

This CD is good sample of the great Stevie Wonder. The CD worth the amount paid and remind me some nice songs. If you like Steve Wonder buy it!

5 out of 5 stars Great.......2007-06-12

I loved the whole cd ,and think it is worth every penny. I run a dj service and get all kinds of comments on my music. At the last wedding I was told that they had not heard some of the songs in a long time and they loved it. Big D

While many of their peers were abandoning '70s metal and arena rock to hop the punk/new wave bandwagon, Def Leppard smartly stripped the earlier era's music of its excesses, bolstered it with energetic, pop-savvy hooks and quickly found itself the vanguard of the UK's new metal revival and one of the '80s most spectacularly successful rock acts. The first disc of this 35-track, two-and-a-half hour double-disc retrospective focuses on the familiar hits of their early MTV, platinum-selling prime, though the inclusion of the video edit/remixes of "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and "Rocket" attempts to cast them in a more club-friendly contemporary groove. But the grittier second disc showcases some of the early, overlooked roots of On Through the Night and High 'N' Dry, as well as underappreciated later gems like '99's "Promises" and a power-pop-perfect take on Badfinger's "No Matter What" from an upcoming covers project. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars what do you want? i want rock n' roll!.......2007-07-25

what do you want?/i want rock n'roll!/you betcha!/long live rock n' roll!/def leppard sing in the classic rock of ages. that song gives this collection its title. 35 classic songs on 2 cds. isn't that awsome or what? ok i'll give you the song list. the songs include pour some sugar on me,foolin',photograph,high and dry(saturday night),women, love bites,rocket,no matter what,two steps behind,let's get eocked,and have you ever needed someone so bad. that' quite a list isn't it? listen to this album ,you will hear these songs and many more great songs. trust me you will like this album as much as i do. ed wilson

4 out of 5 stars Should have been five stars, but wasn't..........2007-07-07

The concept was correct: Use of a full two CD's to represent all the great songs the band has produced. However, the selection was incorrect. There is too much emphasis on obscure tracks like "Paper Sun"? and "Waterloo...". But perhaps the most glaring faux pas, is that the albums "High and Dry" and "Pyromania" are under represented. Where is "Action...Not Words" and "Stagefright" or "You've got me Runnin'" and "Lady Strange". Also, "Die Hard the Hunter" is likely the ONLY weak song from "Pyro" and they choose it? Nonsense... Once they release Pyro and High n' Dry in a remaster, those are the two to get after Hysteria.

5 out of 5 stars Absolute must have for Def Leppard fans.......2007-06-19

This 2-disc collection rules. It's got all the hits and more. The songs are put in a good order on both discs. Great summary of Def Leppard's music. The fan gets well over 2 hours of Def Leppard for his/her money. Great value! Get it.

4 out of 5 stars Is There Such A Thing As Too Much Def Leppard?.......2007-03-25

This is far better retrospective than the old one disc set, The Valut. That being said, I think the casual listener may find this collection to be too much Def Leppard. The first disc is fairly solid disc filled with radio hits and popular album favorites, with only maybe one or two questionable tracks. The second disc is highly indulgent with newer material that only a hardcore fan who continued to follow the band through less popular albums like Slang, X, etc. will know. If you haven't bought a Leppard album in the past decade, you won't know a lot of this disc. Overall, a very thorough set, but the passive fan may opt for the one disc import only version, Best of Def Leppard. Its not complete, but its got more than The Vault without the filler of ROCK OF AGES.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant!.......2007-03-10

I was NOT disappointed with my purchase here. There's a great selection of songs on here, showcasing the band's changing image over time. If there are particular songs that you like that aren't in this collection, I'd suggest you download them, or get them elsewhere, but definitely get this CD for the absolute best of Def Leppard. It contains great liner notes on each song, with input from each of the band members, something I particularly enjoyed. Getting these liner notes helped me understand a lot more about where the band was coming from on each song and what it truly meant to them to be writing and recording it. With this input on their take on lyrics and such, I daresay I understood the songs themselves better. It also includes pictures of the band over time, including Steve Clark (R.I.P.). Overall: Perfect for fans and those simply looking to get the best of this phenomenal band.

After mounting successes with the Commodores during the late '70s, Lionel Richie exploded into one of the biggest stars of the '80s, then enigmatically disappeared from the music business for nearly a decade. Fourteen of the tracks on this 20-track anthology (which also includes a five-cut bonus disc compiled by Richie) topped the charts, ample testimony to Richie's remarkable success in shifting from the Commodores' roots in the Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye Motown to a pioneering career as a crossover balladeer. His willful drift to the middle of the road found that its yellow line was nothing but gold. This collection charts the singer's upbeat successes with his former band, segues gracefully into the ballads and party-lite sensibility that made him such an unlikely '80s icon, and touches on his late-'90s reemergence. A newly recorded duet with Enrique Iglesias on "To Love a Woman" suggests that the elder popmeister hasn't lost his touch; indeed, his voice seems more warm and soulful than ever. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars HIS GREAT SONGS FOREVER!!.......2007-05-31

I always liked Lionel's songs and all of his best are in this cd; from his great years with the Commodores are precious ballads like STILL, JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU, EASY (what a great song), SAIL ON and the powerfull THREE TIMES A LADY; his single career begun with the incredible ballad TRULY and the pretty YOU ARE, then came their finest and No. 1 great albums: "Can't Slow Down" (Including the great ballads HELLO, PENNY LOVER, STUCK ON YOU and the powerful dancing rhythms ALL NIGHT LONG and RUNNING WITH THE NIGHT)and the amazing "Dancing on The Ceiling" (Including the precious ballad BALLERINA GIRL, the No. 1 hit and Oscar winner SAY YOU SAY ME and the craziest DANCING ON THE CEILING); there are a lot of great tunes like the wonderful ENDLESS LOVE (Duet with Diana Ross), DO IT TO ME, ANGEL and two new songs, one in a duet with Enrique Iglesias and his latest ballad GOODBYE; A wonderful song to close one of the great compilations of one of the greatest artist of all the time

5 out of 5 stars Great romantic music.......2007-04-11

My wife and I really love this music, excellent compilation of the best songs from Lionel Richie, a romantic of all eras...

5 out of 5 stars Great compilation of his favorites.......2007-03-25

Although it has been more than three decades since Lionel Richie first stepped into the public eyes, he continues to pump out hits and albums. After several years of hibernating, he has since returned to release more new albums. However, although his new music still has some flavor, this is the album that you should look to if you're looking to acquire his popular tracks. Classics such as "Three Times A Lady" and "Still" are just a couple of his monster hits in this album, but his later hits are the ones that I enjoy the most. From his mega-smash album "Can't Slow Down", tracks "Hello" and "Stuck On You" are two tracks on this album that I can listen to over and over again for many years to come. Much known for his ballads rather than up-tempo dance tracks, Lionel also adds his hits "Just To Be Close To You" and "Oh No", which are two tracks perfect for a mellow evening at home. In all, there are multiple songs compiled in this album that will make you feel nostalgic and lead you in a romantic mood. If you like Lionel, this is the album for you!

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Nice but............................2007-03-07

Nice cd good price if your a Richie fan my only fault is the track, "do it to me one more time" the key and lovely ending to the some hey thats the best part the ending 40 sec or so that really embodies the song well just but nice & slow its on their for sure lol

5 out of 5 stars A definitive collection worth every penny!.......2007-03-07

This collection featuring two new tracks will give Lionel Richie fans an incentive to purchase the CD. Where are LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL and SE LA? They were Top 20 hits also. There are not only Richie's solo hits but his Commodores hits as well like EASY,THREE TIMES A LADY,JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU and SAIL ON. Hey,where are LADY(YOU BRING ME UP) and OH NO? They were Top 20 hits also. I'd like to get all the Commodores' non-compilation albums on CD also. Richie also wrote LADY(not the Commodores recording) for Kenny Rogers but did Richie himself ever record it? This collection could use Richie's recording of the 1980 Rogers hit. Tuskegee,Alabama-born Richie is also heard with ex-Supreme Diana Ross on his composition ENDLESS LOVE from the 1981 film of the same title(later covered by Mariah Carey with the late Luther Vandross). From Richie's '83 megahit CAN'T SLOW DOWN are ALL NIGHT LONG,PENNY LOVER,STUCK ON YOU,RUNNING WITH THE NIGHT and HELLO. You also get his first solo hits like TRULY and YOU ARE. From 1986's DANCING ON THE CEILING are the title track,BALLERINA GIRL and SAY YOU SAY ME(the latter was first released on the WHITE NIGHTS soundtrack album in 1985). This collection could also use Richie's recording of WE ARE THE WORLD(co-written with Michael Jackson). This album is a must for any R&B fan.

5 out of 5 stars COUNTRY TORCH-AND MORE .......2007-07-31

Frankly, on the face of it Patsy Cline would not fall into my idea of a torch singer. That is, until you heard that voice coming out of the past to chill you to the marrow with her heart-rendering versions of some very classic country and crossover ballads. For those of us who came of age in the late 1950's or early 1960's this was the music at the high school dance where you got to ask that guy or girl that you had your eye on for that slow dance that gave you time to talk and feel out the situation. Thanks, Patsy. This volume contains so many classics it is hard to know where to begin but I counted at least 15 that you ABSOLUTELY need to listen to. That, my friends, rather says it all. Classic Hank Willaims tunes like Cheating Heart, Willie Nelson's Crazy, others like Why's He Not You and She's Got Him. Wow. A few non-ballad novelty type songs could have been left out and done no damage but when you look at the overall package. Again, WOW.


5 out of 5 stars Patsy is timeless!!!!.......2007-05-12

Whether you are country or not this is an excellent CD!!! Patsy Cline is one of the great classics of all times!!! Great selections on this CD!!! Definately Definitive!!!! Worth owning and listening to!!!

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!!.......2007-01-17

This collection is "wonderful". Also, try to see the live show, "Always....Patsy Cline" when it comes to your area. The show is much more than just singing as a "fan" tells the story of her supposed "involvment" with Patsy. Both this CD and the show are "the greatest!"

5 out of 5 stars This is a great collection!.......2006-11-10

I looked for awhile to find a colllection that included almost all the songs I remembered from my younger days. This CD pretty well does that. I have heard a lot of imitators over the years, but no one has come very close to her great style and sound.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Collection.......2006-08-30

This is a terrific collection with a wide range of songs from one of the most spectacular voices the music industry has ever heard. Patsy Cline's gorgeous voice and the emotion she put into her songs makes them heartbreaking to listen to, or if an upbeat song, especially fun to listen to. She just can't be topped. I only wish there were a Patsy Cline Christmas album available. I highly recommend this CD to any Patsy Cline or country music fan. Great selection of hit songs!

Is there anything that simply screams the 1970s' most indelible pop cultural clichés--the sunny romanticism, perfect vocal hooks, feathered hair, stacked heels, and flared sateen britches--more than the Swedish pop phenomenon Abba? And while many a pundit snootily dismissed them during their prime as some sort of prefabricated aberration, their worldwide popularity peaked somewhere just south of Beatlesmania. Indeed, Abba's music was as finely tooled and crafted as anything to come from a Volvo or IKEA factory--if occasionally more economically potent. This double-disc, 37-track anthology comes neatly on the heels of Mama Mia!, the smash, if unlikely, Broadway show based on the band's hits, and documents every single released by the band's Polar label in their home country as well as key tracks released internationally.

This is the canon from whence the term "Europop" sprang. With a continental sense of vocal neoclassicism, informed by just the right ethnic clichés (and oft wed to the era's insistent 4/4 disco beat) to make songs like "Mama Mia," "Fernando," "Chiquitita," and "Voulez-Vous" work on a global scale, the writing team of Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and their respective partners in music and life, Agnetha Faltskog and Frida Lyngstad, developed the seamless, wall-of-sound productions contained herein. The Definitive Collection features a rare single remix of "Ring, Ring" and a 1979 promo-only extended mix of "Voulez-Vous" as bonus tracks, as well as a concise, illustrated history of the band and each track. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars All the hits, but too many missing album tracks.......2007-06-24

While The Definitive Collection does have all of the hit singles, it is missing some very good album tracks like "Dance (While The Music Still Goes On)", "Hasta Mañana", "When I Kissed The Teacher", "Kisses Of Fire", and "Happy New Year". Why waste space on remixes of "Ring Ring" and "Voulez-Vous", when there's many more great ABBA tracks that could've been included?

4 out of 5 stars I actually like this.......2007-05-21

I first got some interesed in them by seeing Pracilla Queen of the Desert and i like the songs i heard from them like Ferando, Dancing Queen, and Mama mia. But it took me years to get enough courage to buy a cd of theirs. They are so chessy and kind of embrasing to admit to liking. I deciede to get this over the single disk Abba Gold because it was a good price and i wanted to hear more songs besides the ones that everyone knows. I also have no desire to buy another ABBA cd. The first songs on here are not that great but they get better. People think of them as a disco act but they acutally did some folk, pop, new wave and some songs like The winner takes it All that are very Broadway. This is actually one of the better 2 cds best offs i have ever listen to. I say to the people like me that dont want to admit that they like this band to check this out. I read that this is suppose to come with liner notes but my new copy did not.

5 out of 5 stars ABBA IS THE BEST!!!.......2007-05-05

La mejor recopilacion de uno de los mejores grupos de todos los tiempos, y todas las canciones ordenadas de forma cronologica, y un folleto donde se resume muy bien toda su historia, con muchas fotos de todas sus etapas de modo que uno puede ir siguiendo toda su trayectoria como grupo musical; las canciones, simplemente INCREIBLES, desde la sencilla "RING, RING" hasta canciones mas complicadas como "THE WINNER TAKES IT AT ALL"; sin faltar piezas inolvidables como "CHIQUITITA", "I DO I DO I DO", "WATERLOO", "DANCING QUEEN" y "TAKE A CHANCE ON ME"; incluso hay canciones que yo no conocia, como "HONEY HONEY", "ONE OF US" y "PEOPLE NEED LOVE", muy buenas tambien; SIMPLEMENTE LO MEJOR!!!

5 out of 5 stars Mamma Mia Its Abba.......2007-04-22

I can recall this band when i was a child having alot of hits.Some of the songs i remember from those days were S.O.S. and Waterloo.My mum bought some of their albums and i just loved a heap of their songs.By the late 70's i started ignoring them as they got so much attention by the media.But i still liked alot of their tunes.Radio stations seemed to ignore this band alot in the 80's here.But i heard some of their songs and after so many years of not hearing them they sounded damn good,so i went and got a few albums.This was 1989 and i got right into them again.I always hoped this band would get back together,but the news is that they will not.Thats a shame,but there is so much music to reflect on.Every now and then i play their songs,Some of my favorites are the 2 i mentioned and Honey Honey,I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do ,Mamma Mia ,Fernando ,Ring Ring ,The Winner Takes It All ,Under Attack and Thank You For The Music.There is also a stack of other songs i like.This is a good collection of their songs.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection.......2007-01-11

If you were in Australia in 1977, then you were certainly subject to "Abbamania." Not since the arrival of the Beatles in 1964 had the Land Down Under scene such a phenomenon. It seemed like all of Sydney lined the streets to herald the arrival of the "Super Swedes." I was 12 years old at the time and I quickly fell under their spell, as did most of the nation's youth. Over the next couple of years they soon conquered the rest of the world, America to a much lesser extent, but the group eventually fell victim to over-exposure and by the early 80's it was clear that ABBA was to go down in history as a super group of the 1970's. It's interesting to me now, listening to this well-chosen collection of ABBA hits, to think that many of these songs have had a second-wind with the hit musical "Mamma Mia." Songs that didn't even originally make a splash in the U.S. are now being hummed across the country as a result of this worldwide stage smash. I love this particular collection. I think it will appeal to those of us who were ABBA devotees and those who are only now becoming familar with their evergreen material. The masterminds behind the songs, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson, are only now being recognized as the great writers that they were/are, and the passage of time only serves as a reminder, at least to me, that once upon a time there used to be GREAT songs on the pop charts.

5 out of 5 stars What a compilation! Definitive indeed!.......2007-06-22

The title of this CD represents a tall order to fill. With a title like "The Definitive Collection" of one of the key progenitors of rock and roll, one expects a great deal. This CD delivers. The liner notes begin by stating that "Chuck Berry cooked up the basic recipe for rock n' roll." Berry was made a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, as one of the very first members--and justifiably so. As the notes continue, ". . .it was Berry who set the template for the songwriter-artist. . ."

Some of the major cuts:

"Maybellene" was recorded in 1955, one of his first major hits. Talk about class: Willie Dixon played bass. The thumping rhythm and driving rock beat makes this a quintessential Chuck Berry song. This song reached # 5 on the Pop Chart, making Berry a recognizable figure.

In 1956, "Roll Over Beethoven" Another great rocker: "Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news." An infectious beat and driving singing.

"Up in the mornin' and off to School,
Teacher teachin' the golden rule."

So "School Day" goes, with the expectation of a lot more fun once the School Day is done.

"Rock and Roll Music" (1957) has the estimable Willie Dixon and Fred Below supporting Berry. Another rollicking early rock song that set the stage for what was to follow.

More greats from 1957--"Sweet Little Sixteen," a teaser of a song with a compelling pace; also from 1957, one of the greatest rock songs ever--"Johnnie B. Goode." "Go, Johnnie, go, go."

A number of these songs were covered by the "British invasion." British groups, such as the Rolling Stones and Beatles, covered such songs as: "Roll over Beethoven," "Little Queenie," "Come on," and so on.

This CD contains 30 of Chuck Berry's greatest hits, from "Maybellene" to "My Ding-a-Ling." If anyone is unfamiliar with Berry's oeuvre, this is a great place to start. For those who appreciate his role in rock and roll, this is a good addition, to pull together some of his best works. A good compilation. . . .

5 out of 5 stars chuck berry the definitive collection.......2007-05-07

it has the best songs of his repertoire and my ding a ling
it couldn't be better unless they removed that song
though i suppose someone may like it

4 out of 5 stars Good looking back.......2007-04-11


Chuck Berry is one of my old favorites. I danced to his music when I was a teenager. This CD contained many of my favorites from back in the day such as Johnnie B. Goode and Almost Grown. Also, some of his less known music was introduced. Havanna Moon was a surprising musical treat.

4 out of 5 stars For the casual listener..........2007-04-03

...you won't find a package to beat this one. An inexpensive selection of Berry's biggest numbers. Definitely not "definitive" by any stretch, but a great record to throw in for a quick shot of one of the most important figures in rock/rhythm & blues history. Recommended.

5 out of 5 stars "...Tidewater four-ten-oh-nine...".......2007-03-18

I saw Dennis Miller on "The Tonight Show" one time and he said, "what planet are Brando and the Beatles from and why can't we find it?" I feel the same way about Chuck Berry. I guess it would be hard to explain to a Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears fan, but if you are a fan of good ol' rootsy, r&b influenced rock n' roll, you know in your soul that Chuck Berry is the savant.

How can a guy come up with those riffs? Those simple, yet poetic lyrics? One of his rivals was the output of the Brill Building writers, but that was a group of enlightened kids (influenced by Berry, among others) feeding off of each others energy and ideas. Maybe the closest "rival" was Buddy Holly. Here is a poor guy from St. Louis who even pushed Presley, not to mention how he (along with Holly) inspired the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.

Bottom line: great sound, finally a great single disc overview of one of the greatest musical minds since 1950 and certainly one of the "Dead Sea Scrolls" if you are looking for the genesis of rock n'roll.

5 out of 5 stars The Definitive Collection ~ Steely Dan.......2007-07-24

This is the best collection of Steely Dan hits that I have seen so far as it spans their whole career and has most of the really good stuff on it.

5 out of 5 stars Definitive is the best collection for the casual fan.......2007-07-16

I wouldn't call myself a big Steely Dan fan. I did however grow up in a household where my dad had Aja and I remember listening to a few of their songs on the radio. This collection succeeds because it has all the best songs that the casual fan would know and introduces people like me to what Steely Dan has been up to lately with the two new tracks. Typically I am not a huge fan of collections that max out the CD because usually with some artists by the time I get to about 45 minutes I have had enough. With Steely Dan, since this is all top notch music, the 80 minutes seem to fly by... even the new tracks sound very good up against the old standards. I keep this in my regular rotation and may someday, since I love this collection so much, may check out some of their albums.

If you are a casual fan like myself and want a nice remastered hits collection this is where you can start. For the more hardcore fan this of course is not for you but it is a great way to lure in new fans to the fold as it did me.

5 out of 5 stars Steely Dan: it's all there.......2007-06-28

5 out of 5 stars "I already bought the dream" 10 stars!.......2007-06-25

This is a fantastic collection of some of the most underrated yet outstanding hits. Each one is filled with rich, upbeat heart and soul, while delivering music that will stay with you, as it has stayed with me for many years. This CD is one you will be glad you bought, you'll treasure it! - "I'm ready to walk that fine line..."

3 out of 5 stars Why have the definitive when the Ultimate is coming?? .......2007-05-22

They're getting to the point where the repackages are going to outnumber original recordings. The box set gave a couple of rare tracks, this is just an updated "Decade of Steely Dan" with a couple of recent songs. Until then, "Showbiz Kids" has everything you could want in a Steely Dan collection, plus Donald's repackaging his 3 CDs in a multimedia release called "Nightfly Trilogy" next month including "True Companion", promo videos and an interview.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A Classic Singer - Neil Sedaka.......2007-08-06

Neil Sedaka's music never gets old. Its infectious sound brightens your day. While this album doesn't offer any new Neil Sedaka songs, it is the perfect CD as it includes all of his best music over the years. If you enjoy Neil Sedaka, include this CD in your best of collection

4 out of 5 stars He wrote them all.......2007-07-26

Excellent cd for Neil Sedaka fans. It includes many songs that Neil wrote even some that I had never heard. Good music.

2 out of 5 stars Through the years originals?.......2007-07-13

Just my two cents on this. I grew up listening to Neil Sedaka and his other contemporaries. I have to clarify that I'm writing this mostly cause I hate re-recordings. They tend to hi-jack the true spirit of the music as we knew it.
Whenever any performer have endurance throughout the decades, you can't expect a definitive compilation may include all the original recordings, mostly due to label changes. Rhino are the only guys (and I don't own any financial association with them) that have been offering this, as they pay royalties for gathering original takes from different record labels. That makes it clear: you got to pay a little more for "real definitive compilations".

5 out of 5 stars 5 STARS BECAUSE MY HUSBAND SAID SO.......2007-07-04

I bought this CD for my husband because he enjoyed playing old Sedaka record albums - but you can't take albums for a ride in the car. He loves the CD, all the oldies, and was surprised to find new recordings as well. He says he especially loves the song Sedaka sings with his daughter (Should Have Never Let You Go). I honestly like hearing him play the CD and am enjoying it along with him. As for any criticism that several of these songs are re-recordings...well, yes, but I knew that from reading the reviews. I bought it anyway, and my husband is happy I did. No disappointment here.

5 out of 5 stars Great Memories with Neil!.......2007-06-27

Neil Sedaka has always been a favorite performer of mine and this latest CD just reaffirms it. The memories of such old standards as Oh Carol, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Calendar Girl and the dynamite duet with his daughter Dara just prove that this guy and his classics are timeless. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates great music from a less-complicated time and less hectic world.

5 out of 5 stars The Definitive Collection - Louis Armstrong.......2007-03-24

I like it very much. I bought it for the song, "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans". I miss New Orleans because of good memories of being there and I very much enjoy his rendition of it and other songs he does on the cd. It's definitely an "easy listening" cd and that's good for me. I think it's great and recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars Satchmo's second career.......2007-03-02

The songs on LOUIS ARMSTRONG * THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION generally follow a regression from 1968 to 1938. The album's liner notes conversely provide details of Armstrong's most influential years: the mid-Twenties until his lip broke, in 1933. The writer glows about Satchmo's influence on ALL subsequent musicians and vocalists, from Benny Goodman to the Rolling Stones! Truly a hyperbolic overview.

But the music is what matters most. Armstrong adapted to the realities of losing his superhuman playing abilities by developing a more expressive style, and by concentrating on vocalization. This album documents well that second phase of his performing career. Source material is drawn from all major labels: DECCA, COLUMBIA, VICTOR, ABC-PARAMOUNT, KAPP and VERVE. Transfer quality is excellent. This collection is particularly recommended for newcomers to the music of Louis Armstrong.

TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 75:39

5 out of 5 stars gotta love Louis!.......2007-02-21

I am definitely a hard core rock 'n roll girl, and this is the first jazz album I have ever purchased...and it blew my socks off! How can you not love Louis Armstrong?!! That gravelly voice, the depth of emotion when he sings...

His music is timeless and I don't think it matters what genre of music you love, you can't go wrong adding this to your collection. After listening to this cd, I am definitely going to look at purchasing the album Best of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Their duet on this cd "Our Love Is Here To Stay" floored me. Her silken voice and his gravelly one are an amazing combination.

I highly recommend this album as a good introduction to anyone who wants to get to know Louis Armstrong. I'm sure you'll be left wanting more, like me.

5 out of 5 stars Don williams - One Mellow Cat.......2007-08-02

An excellent collection of non-twangy country songs by one of the smoothest voices in country music history. Every big hit he ever made is here and it is a pleasurable experience just to sit back, as I am doing right now with a early evening cocktail, and relax to these soothing sounds.

5 out of 5 stars Best possible selection available.......2007-06-21

Like many others I was a huge Don Willimas fan between the mid 70's
and mid 80's. His incredible deep baritone voice + the wonderfully
arranged melodies scored hit after hit. During those days I collected
each and every LP launched on the market because, besides the hits,
all other songs were beautiful as well. Like so many other great C&W
artists of the 70's and 80's he stopped having success around '89 when
producers decided to change country music into pop music and struggle
for the Hot 100. That was the end of 3 full decades of authentic C&W

I just like the country sound of Don Williams. His mellow deep toned voice sounds very much like my brother. In fact my brother named his daughter after Don's song Amanda, which I think he performs to perfection.
My favourite though, has got to be 'You're My Best Friend". In this Don uses the soft gentleness of his voice to tell of his friendship with his wife.
There are many of his great songs also, I'm Just A Country Boy - Tulsa Time - Good Ole Boys Like Me and Listen To The Radio mixed with some that I hadn't heard before. Don sings sad and heartbreaking songs without being morbid.
All in all, it is a good mix of great country songs from one of the best in the business. Hard to beleive he's just turned 68.

5 out of 5 stars Fills the Soul.......2007-06-10

This collection has all the best of Don Williams. It is like meeting an old friend again as soon as the music starts and his full, baritone voice comes thru, so rich and heartwarming. There are no singers today coming close to matching his voice. The title of "Gentle Giant" is well earned.

4 out of 5 stars Class Act.......2007-06-02

This is an album of classic hits from Don. I have listened to it many times already. If you are thinking of buying a good "golden oldie", think about this album and go for it!!
