The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

Mixed feelings.......2005-10-05

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

He's done it again.......2002-07-15

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

A beautiful 2 disc CD-another hit for Michael.......2002-06-09

I have every CD Michael has ever made and this is by far one of the best ones because of Michael's range in singing and his wonderful singing voice. I love his duets with Rosemary Clooney and Liza Minelli. He is a wonderful performer on this double CD and am looking foward to the next CD.

Lovin' the single.......2005-03-03

I'm loving this single.

Well, we all know about the first song. I've always loved, "Used to Love U" when I first heard it and didn't know who sung it. "Money Blown" is the best! I think people are beginning to love this guy because he's so real, he sings with soul... that kind of music is missing today, and because he's different. (i.e. Alicia Keys... she's so successful becuase she's different. Know matter what genre of music is "hot" for the moment, she stays true to herself and sings what she loves). I know both of them will have long lasting careers.

FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE.......2005-01-08

John is bringing everything but nonsense with his music. Just these two tracks helped me notice him alot!

Used To Love U (10/10) - The first single. It's very diverse and edgy. Keep an open mind for this guy.

Money Blown (10/10) - A guitar lead track with John's excellent vocals. Another keeper.

GET THIS SINGLE BECAUSE "MONEY BLOWN" AIN'T ON "GET LIFTED".

Happy somebody bringin new talent 2 the stage.......2005-01-08

Wanna say congrats to my man John Legend for putting out a song that is crazy. Y'know what I'm sayin. He just trying to bring it up w/o putting much hate in2 the song. The song just kinda reminds me we needed sum more talent people that can sing, rap, play or whatever who can bring a positive message to the community of Hip-Hop and R&B. Anyway luv the song. But the beat 2 it reminds of Talib Kweli's song "Get By" which was put out in '02 maybe similar to the 1 that is played 2day. Look forward of buying the new album from him and may God bless. Thanks John Legend for all your success.

4.5 Stars...It Grows On U.......2004-10-10

At first, I did not like this song, because it is so different than what is heard on mainstream radio. This factor is the reason I started liking the song. This is a good,R&B single that people should listen to.

Very good song!!.......2004-09-28

I was under the impression that Money Blown is the sub-title to Used to Love U, since the song is about the girl wanting his money. Oh well... I'm so glad to hear someone singing!! The rap that is taking over the radio now is getting rather boring to me, and I'm just glad to hear a singer with a good voice put something out. I really like this song and hope the entire cd is as good as the single.

Rare, hard-to-find recordings.......2007-07-04

If you are into the 60's style, this is a great CD for you. It has so many unusual offerings that you never see on other CD's. There were some that I remembered vaguely, such as Trade Martin's "That Stranger Used to Be My Girl, but also many are new favorites for me. The price is rather high at this time, but it is a good addition for any 60's music collector.
