5 out of 5 stars what a find!.......2003-11-27

I bought this cd on faith since I only knew one of the songs listed. I'm so glad that I did! Zucchero blends an intense and passionate voice with unusual but compelling lyrics. Give it a try. And don't underestimate the power of this cd for romantic mood-setting. Wow!

5 out of 5 stars A hidden gem.......2003-11-19

It is a real shame that this album only has one review, so I thought I would correct that.

As a Steve Vai, Steve Morse ( anything guitar instrumental actually ) you can tell this is not my usual listening "fodder", but you need some light and dark in any collection, and this is a fantastic collection of songs which I put on if I am in company.

There is not a single song that you will fail to either sing along to, or be moved by. I am not a great one for listing each track and saying this is very mellow, this has a great guitar solo etc, but in this album you have it all.

I should say that Zucchero has one GREAT voice.

Out of the three hundred or so albums I have, this could well be the one album I would take with me if I was limited to just one ... that is a huge compliment to its variety and yes, I agree with the previous reviewer ...GREAT FUN

Brilliant

5 out of 5 stars Upbeat and fun.......2000-03-10

This is a great, cheerful CD. It's full of upbeat songs, although I love the beautiful melody of "Diamante. Zucchero's music is certainly as beautiful as Bocelli's, but in a lighter way.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Zucchero's Greatest Hits.......2007-01-06

We bought this CD AFTER we had gotten a copy of his Zucchero and Friends CD. This CD has many of the same tracks as the "friends" CD - they are good, but the duets are actually better. We are surprized that Zucchero is not better known in the US as his music is great and we love his style. Anybody who likes something a little different would appreciate Zucchero's music, even the foreign language tracks. If you like this CD, you will like the duets CD even better. I would buy another Zucchero CD and have shared ours with friends who also liked it well enough to buy.

5 out of 5 stars Best of Zucchero.......2006-03-11

Original songs that you want to play over and over and over. Great album!

5 out of 5 stars You never go wrong with Zucchero.......2005-09-13

I can easily recommend this fine Italian musician/singer/composer! Zucchero is that incredible musical discovery still waiting to happen in America. He loves the blues, but he can rock with the best of them and play funky or Latin too. He sings both in Italian and English, even mixing them at times. The emotion of his singing is so moving that the first time I heard it I was hooked. The more I listen to his music, the more I want to listen to it, he is totally addicting. This is a fine collection of SOME of his best, and a good sampler to try him out. Trust me, buy ANYTHING by this musician, you will never go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Music To My Ears.......2003-03-15

I heard a song by Zucchero a year ago and thought it was good then I heard My Love and I fell in love. Zucchero is so diverse that he can make you swoon over My love then get you up dancing with the next song. If you like REAL music with melodic sounds, something you can humm and keep with you then you have to have a Zucchero experience. You'll fall in love too...guranteed.

He weaves together Italian and English so well I don't even know that I don't understand what he's saying.

Zucchero is a must have.

5 out of 5 stars Zucchero-Greatest Hits.......2002-09-23

I can't get enough of this guy, he's unbelieveable and so far this is the second best. The best being "Shake".
