4 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise.......2002-09-21

I bought this cd on a whim and was pleasantly surprised, especially at the sound quality. This cd is a collection of the Skylarks' best from the late 1950s. Nevertheless, the sound is quite good; in fact it sounds less dated than similar American recordings from the same era.
Miriam Makeba is a well-known singer from South Africa with a lovely voice. The Skylarks sound a great deal like American girl groups from the 1950s and early 60s, but I have to say that in my opinion the Skylarks are better. Perhaps because I was unfamiliar with the music, this cd sounds fresher and more interesting, and the songs themselves benefit greatly from their less produced sound.

    5 out of 5 stars Miriam Makeba's roots.......2001-08-06

    If you're only familiar with Miriam Makeba's folk-era recordings ("The Click Song," etc.) then take the time to check out this amazing set of her earliest work from the mid-1950s, with the Skylarks vocal ensemble. This is South African "jive" music, a mix of ska-like African rhythms and American jazz and swing melodies - some of the most cheery and infectious music you'll ever hear! This is a great single-CD retrospective; there's are also a 2-volume collection on Teal Records in case you want MORE!
