Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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

5 out of 5 stars 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

5 out of 5 stars Ms. Mill's Tour De Force!.......2006-10-03

If you only own a compilation or greatest hits collection from Stephanie, do your self a big favor and but this CD!

This album is truly the brass ring in her career. After her run in The Wiz, and a few pop focused albums and hits (Never Knew Love Like This before), Stephanie focused on R & B, and it was a natural fit.
The title track, done as a tribute to one of her mentors, Gladys Knight starts the sizzle off, and A Rush On Me, along with Can't Change My Ways keep it burning. There is truly not a bad track on this release!

Her ballads here take the flame to a slow, but never the less hot burn. A standout track is the joyous, gospel ladden, I Feel Good All Over. Who wound not want to be out on the floor slow dancing to this one.

Stephanie has long deserved far more aclaim that she has received, but it's never too late to discover this amazing talent, and embrace this CD.

5 out of 5 stars The Diminutive Diva.......2006-04-18

Stephanie Mills is a singer's singer. I had the pleasure of seeing her in person when she was promoting this album. At the time I knew little about her other than the raves she got appearing in The Wiz on Broadway. I was unprepared. The first thing I noticed was that she is absolutely adorable. Even with hair piled high enough to rival Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, it's unlikely that she breaks the five-foot barrier. But as soon as she started singing, she roared, she owned the room.

Mills is a triple-threat, she has a glorious natural voice, she is a highly trained singer, and she invests her delivery with passion, soul, and originality. So many bad singers, especially rock singers, reach up for notes like desperate mountain climbers inching their way along ice caps. Mills hits her notes with authority, she spanks them. Her high notes remain nailed to the wall long after she's left the building. Not only does she have a splendid range, she growls, purrs, coaxes, and teases, there's a whole vocabulary of coy and alluring expression in her delivery.

Mills is good enough to compensate for this CD's limitations which include lapses in song-writing quality and occasionally ham-fisted production. Secret Lady is a gem, as are Jesse, Touch Me Now, I Feel Good All Over, and the remake of If I Were Your Woman. The remaining three, Rush On Me, Running For Your Love, and Can't Change My Ways are good, but the writing is uneven and the production is self-conscious, foreshadowing the "producer-as-instrument" trend of years to come. Still in all, these are minor complaints; this CD is definitely worth owning. With Aretha busy at the buffet table, Mills could well be at the very head of the class.

5 out of 5 stars "Sweet things you say to me...".......2005-05-18

The above line, majestically sung by the background vocalists, is featured in Mills' awesome "I Feel Good All Over" and that song is just one of the outstanding tracks on the singer's 1987 release. Her gospel and Broadway roots come to light in the title cut, a rousing remake of the Gladys Knight classic, the mid-tempo "(You're Puttin') A Rush on Me, the touching "Jesse," and the passionate "Touch Me Now." She really pours all her soul into the revealing "Secret Lady," a scorcher about an illicit relationship.

Even the slightly dated "Running for Your Love" can put some contemporary songs to shame, because of its balance between vocal performance and band accompaniment, something sorely lost in today's computer-enhanced studio mixings.

Listening to current chart-topper Fantasia makes one think that the younger could be a not-so-distant relative of Mills for both possess similar voices and styling.

What a powerhouse pairing it would be if the two got together!!!

5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal album from Stephanie! Soulful all the way through.......2004-09-20

Stephanie Mills' If I Were Your Woman was such a solid album, one of her best during the '80s. The album version of I Feel Good All Over is still unbelievable, as if Stephanie wrote the song herself. The other numbers like You're Puttin A Rush on Me, Secret Lady, Jesse, and the soulful If I Were Your Woman are also dynamite. Stephanie has me in tears every time I hear that fabulous remake of that Gladys Knight and the Pips classic. She sings from the heart on that one. Nick Martinelli should be commended for producing some songs here, as he was a major hitmaker in '86 and '87. A fabulous effort from Stephanie!

5 out of 5 stars A LADY WITH A SONG.......2003-06-13

If romantic love songs is what you like and you don't have this cd-you don't know what you're missing. First of all, Stephanie Mills has one of the most amazing voices in music history-often underated but never duplicated- she growls,she can run the music scale effortlessly with deep rich vocals as showcased on the churchy but romantic "I feel good all over" a definite pleaser to the ear. Stephanie does an amazing job on the remake title track "If I were your woman" very soulful. "Puttin a rush on me" features blazing big beats with rhythmatic and hypnotic vocals over a sizzling production. "Jesse" is a smooth melodic track that will have you singing along with slick production and background by Robert Brookins. Powerhouse performances are showcased on "Secret Lady" and "Touch me now"...Awesome Cd...in other words..Get it Now!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Gladys and the pips at their best.......2007-05-31

Miss Gladys Knight And The Pips were hitting their stride when these two albums were released in 1971. "If I Were Your Woman" had the title track and "I Don't Want To Do Wrong" as the released singles and it showed a deep and truly soulful side of the Lady and the tight and supportive and unobtrusive side of the pips. The other cuts on the album consist of very good covers and original tunes. As for "Standing Ovation" with "Make Me The Woman You Go Home To" and the Kris Kristofferson cover of "Help Me Make It Through The Night" this was a strong albumas a follow up to the latter. The southern roots and the gospel intensity that the group grew up with are all eveident here and makes this album coupled with the former worth every penny to have in your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Gladys...Here She Is Again!.......2007-04-12

It's about time Gladys' motown music was released. The "If I Was Your Woman", is a GREAT album. Songs like the title track, One Step Away (my personal favorite), Feelin' Alright, One Less Bell to Answer, Signed Gladys down to Sly Stone's Everybody is a Star, with the Pips each singing a lead line was fabulous. I also love the song, "Here I Am Again". Too bad Berry Gordy didn't properly promote this masterpiece. On the Standing Ovation album, it's ok, but I love the song "No One Can Love You More...They are jamming. Overall, If you love Gladys, you won't be disappointed.

Not the original artists. Very weak versions of beloved songs by marginal to downright bad vocalists.

5 out of 5 stars Pretty good musical mix.......2006-03-10

Lots of great and clear vocals. I was looking for a musical mix and this has a nice sampling of many major songs but also some more recent stuff. I haven't purchased an import before but I would do it again if the opportunity presented itself. It is somewhat annoying to have three cds when I think it could have fit onto two. Still, more than I have complaints, I have compliments about it.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

      5 out of 5 stars One stop on the road to immortality.......2006-11-19

      This is a more than competent CD transfer of acoustic recordings of Sir Nigel Playfair's legendary 1920s revivals of The Beggar's Opera and its sequel Polly. Quite sufficiemt to show why the Beggar;s Opera production, meant to fill a few weeks' gap at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, ran for three years. And while Gay's sequel was like most sequels, not up to the original, this recording is the only source for the second-best ballad opera.

      1 out of 5 stars Must Stop Ordering When Drinking - Or Maybe I Got Foxed.......2006-09-02

      Right. Can't remember what state of sobriety I was in when I ordered this cd and I may have missed some key clues about its nature. But I was so excited to find anything claiming to relate to Gay's "Polly" (which otherwise seems to have completely disappeared after it was censored in the 18th century - even internet wise) that I bought this cd. Turns out it is a cd version of some music originally recorded in the early 1920's. It is moderately interesting even for someone who is not primarily interested in antigue recordings (aka "scratchy records") because the style may be closer to that of the original performance. (There is no reason to think that common tastes were better in the 18th century than in 1920.) It is certainly different than contemporaneous performances of BO.

      Don't mean to be sexist - which I am - but the duets, choreses and male performances seem to be less antigue than the soprano pieces. The broads are simply squeaky. Something to do with frequency loss in early recordings, I expect. On the other hand, the bass songs are equally abrasive and archaic.

      Even the notes about "Polly" in this cd are disappointing. No mention of the history of "Polly", no mention of the source for the music. Try googling for a link for Gay and Polly. If you find one, be sure to post - I would love to know.

      Unless you are an academic involved with some of the most obscure corners of the history of recorded music, I would forget this one. Instead, root for someone to find and record Gay's Polly. And buy a more modern interpretation of the Beggar's Opera. I have certainly heard antique recordings restored more vibrantly than this cd - but I would think that depends to a large extent on the quality of what you have to start with.

      The only reason I gave it 2 stars (for some reason, Amazon refuses to record my change from 1 to 2 stars; but that is computers for you) instead of 1 was because of I love the melodies of the songs so much. But I will also admit that it is possible that Gay have been lucky that Polly was suppressed - the melodies and lyrics are not nearly as good as BO. On the other hand, this cd is so antique that is an unfair basis for judgment, But what the H!

      This is not the complete soundtrack to Guys and Dolls, however it is a great interpretation of some of the music. These are hit songs, with some good singing and good orchestra, for a pretty reasonable price. Also included is the song "Adelaide", that is an addition in the movie, but is taken out in the broadway play. I bought this CD for that song, and am pleased with the whole thing! Highly Recommended.
