Frankly, it feels a bit weird to listen to Edith Piaf perform in English. There aren't many singers so associated with a country as Piaf is with France. And yet she did record some of her hits in English in an attempt to facilitate her career in the United States. While newcomers to the singer's oeuvre should start with her French albums, this CD is fascinating for advanced Piaf listeners. Most of the sides were cut 1950 and show Piaf in fine vocal form on tracks such as "La vie en rose" (she switched from English to French for the title) and "Autumn Leaves" ("Les feuilles mortes"), a strangely compelling hybrid that alternates between French and English. Piaf was certainly more at ease singing in French, but her charismatic sense of drama could break through in just about any language. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Piaf!.......2007-07-27

Loved this c.d.
All of Edith in English...I prefer the French of course, but hearing her in English at least give me some base of what the songs mean...plus her accent is precious...what a wonderfully talented voice...heartbreaking!!

5 out of 5 stars Huge surprise!.......2007-05-12

What an unbelievable surprise - and joy - to discover Edith Piaf singing in English, and sometimes songs which she never sang in French! Her accent is ten times worse than mine... but the voice remains, outstanding!

3 out of 5 stars Better in French.......2007-01-06

I think Edith Piaf was one of the world's great chanteuses. However, she loses a lot in translation. Whereas her songs in French are effective, touching and powerful, in English they are somewhat bland. Perhaps this has to do with the translations which almost always water down the French. Perhaps it is because her command of English is not great. In any case, for the REAL Piaf, buy anything she recorded in French--you will be transported.

3 out of 5 stars Handy reference for lyric meanings in English.......2005-12-13

This is a nice enough album. I think she sounds a lot nicer in French, but some of these songs are fun, and if you have enjoyed some of her original music and been curious what they might mean in English, this is one way to get a sense of them. Of course, it would be nicer if all the albums came with liner pages of lyrics but they don't. (Edith Piaf sings clearly enough in French that even an amateur language scholar can try to follow the songs by ear however.) I bought this album when I bought "The Voice of the Sparrow," and while I like that one a lot better, and can listen to it more, this one is handy to have. If you do like lyrics in translation, you might also like to check out the music of Joni James and Nana Mouskoura. Their voices are very different from hers, but the multi-lingual aspect is fun.

It's a shame that only one side of Elvis' multi-faceted talent is remembered 25 years on from his death but there is so much more to the millennium's greatest performer than garish jump suits and shaky legs. The 50 Greatest Love Songs reminds us what a great singer Presley was; coming from the heart with more feeling and passion than most could ever imagine, all 50 of these songs are classics of the last four decades. The double disc set includes all the up-tempo standards like the incredible "Suspicious Minds", "I just can't help believin'" and "Always On My Mind" plus the Dusty Springfield signature tune "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". Also included are some of his older works from before and during the cinema years like "Good Luck Charm", "Love Me Tender" and "Old Shep". So no blue shoes, no sequinned jump suits, just the king singing about life, love and heartache. --Georgina Collins

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars He still melts my butter.......2007-08-07

I love the song Suspicion. I always here the version by Terry Stafford and I just learned who he was today. However, I have been a true fan of Elvis Presley. I grew up on Elvis. I remembered when he died I was was only 12 Years old.

I was in tears and I still have a problem watching Love Me Tender. Because it brings tears to my eyes. However, I just check out Elvis version and I have to say this I had to buy Elvis song because it felt real. Elvis if you are listing to me. I love you.

4 out of 5 stars Ultimately received.......2007-07-23

5 out of 5 stars So wonderful to hear again!.......2007-07-05

This is a wonderful album....brought back so many memories from my youth. Elvis' voice is so sexy and soothing and perfect for these songs. Well done CD...clear and very good sound.

5 out of 5 stars The 50 Greatest Love Songs.......2007-04-15

I am a huge Elvis fan, especially his love songs and gospel music. This CD is excellent and is a very comprehensive collection of his love songs. Even songs that were made famous by other artists, are sung well by him. His renditions are a pleasure to listen to. There is only one Elvis!

Excellent transaction. Would not hesitate to buy again from this seller. Product was delivered promptly and as described.

5 out of 5 stars good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

5 out of 5 stars memories.......2007-02-22

This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended

5 out of 5 stars TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

3 out of 5 stars TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

The Sinatra who could more than convincingly offer that he had a crush on you is represented by this sweetly packaged 22-track collection. Culled mostly from the early Reprise years (with a four-cut sample of Capitol performances), Greatest Love Songs makes an airtight case for his work during the period. Often tender, occasionally enthusiastic, these selections skirt the bombast and self-parody the Chairman sometimes fell into on his own label. Popular classics like "Fly Me to the Moon" and "The Way You Look Tonight" are more than matched by keepers like the dramatically slowed Sinatra & Strings version of "Night and Day," the swinging dare of "Let's Fall in Love," and the elegiac 1961 take of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You." Save for the thud of a studio-engineered posthumous duet with Celine Dion--an insult both to Sinatra and one of the most delicate of his signature songs, "All the Way"--this is an exemplar of the Valentine-themed album. --Rickey Wright

Album Description

First ever single-disc long song collection spanning Sinatra's years with Reprise Records & Capitol Records. Features Sinatra's studio duet with Celine Dion - 'All They Way'. Just in time for Valentine's Day. Reprise Records.

5 out of 5 stars Sinatra ???.......2007-03-17

What can you say about this musical genius. Every song he sang in his career, was a hit. I loved him from the first time I heard him sing "How Deep Is The Ocean", 'Moonlight In Vermont', and other songs that are well linked with my life and mariage of nearly 49 years.I have all of his music in one form or another and reccomend this double treasure to anyone who wants a good Sinatra album/s. It has most of the songs that will get to your heartstrings...I Love it.

5 out of 5 stars awesome.......2007-03-12

Bought this cd for my boyfriend because he loves frank, and he was so excited not only because it was his greatest love songs, but there were tracks on the cd that sinatra sang to that he had never heard before. It's a cd with a lot of great songs, if you're a frank fan you can't go wrong with this cd.

5 out of 5 stars A must have in any collection.......2007-03-09

What can you say? It's Sinatra at his best in the least sappy yet still romantic love songs. These are the ones even men from mars are willing to admit they like. All classics - you just cannot go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Love Songs.......2006-02-13

This compilation is done very well. I like the song selections in the manner that are chosen, Especially "In the Blue of Evening", "Don't Take Your Love Away from Me","The Very Thought of You", "Come Rain or Come Shine", these are absolute gems.

The booklet inside quotes Frank in a lot of his beliefs, The pictures are great as well, This is a great introduction into Frank Sinatra's love songs....

2 out of 5 stars not what I expected.......2004-11-11

I didn't really feel like some of the songs were really love songs. A lot of these songs I had not even heard before.

4 out of 5 stars Selection of Songs?.......2006-07-02

Perlman is a man of extraordinary clarity and tonality also one of my favorite violinists. After I finish practicing a piece I usually find a recording to listen to different interpretations. Most of them are by Perlman and Heifetz. Unfortunately this album has some obscure songs and the songs itself do not do justice to Perlman what some other songs may have done. Still it is important to broaden the scope, so I would recommend this to all music connoisseurs :). btw i'm only 16 so...don't take this review too literal huh?

5 out of 5 stars If you are a violin lover, buy it.......2003-01-19

It's beautiful. Simply put.

5 out of 5 stars This is "THE" Greatest Hits alum by Perlman.......2000-12-03

Perlam is already a great player like the whole world knows. But the music selection couldn't better! I espacily like the piano accomplimant. Perlman pays the pieces with true style. The working realtionship between Perlman and the Pianist is truly incredible. Before geting any of Perlman's other greatest hits albums, get this one!

3 out of 5 stars This is a relaxing, however, somewhat disjointed collection........1998-11-12

This collection of familiar tunes will provide a relaxing hour with one of the world's premier violinists. However, the combination of "The Old Folks at Home" and "Motto perpetuo" is somewhat difficult to assimilate. At any rate, Perlman is a listener's joy!

5 out of 5 stars be my girl the dramatics.......2007-05-07

This is a great cd... This is one of my favorite all time groups. I recommend this cd to anyone, who likes this kind of music. Thanks again!

5 out of 5 stars Just shopping,not buying anything.......2007-01-05

I write the same review as from Say the World - for me are the Group
of the Dramatics the greatest Soulsinger I ever heard,my english is
not well, but I hope that everybody understand, what I mean. Buy this,
its great.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Slow Jamz.......2004-02-12

The Dramatics should rightfully be considered one of the best R&B vocal groups EVER!!! The vocal interplay of LJ Reynolds and Ron Banks is even better than Ruffin and Kendricks. The Dramatics are another group often overlooked because they bounced around several labels and were overshadowed by the Motown machine. This album showcases the Dramatics at their best...singing stone cold slow songs that have aged incredibly well. In my opinion only one other R&B group has the sheer volume of quality slow songs as the Dramatics (The Isley Bros.). Be My Girl is a classic, so is In the Rain, so is Just Shopping, etc. Once you buy this you'll definitely want to pick up vol.2 of their love songs which showcases some of their less known cuts. The scary thing is vol.2 surprised me. It was just as good, which gives the Dramatics 30 amazingly beautiful slow jams. How many groups in any genre of music can say that?
Yo Kanye West/Twista how could you leave the Dramatics out of the list of artists you mention in your hit song? Joking....

5 out of 5 stars Indeed! This CD consist of their greatest love songs........2003-01-05

When I was a kid growing up in Detroit, the fellas and I would blow harmony on the street corner to the cuts the Dramatics had recorded. Songs like In The Rain, Door To Your Heart, Just Shopping (Not Buying Anything), I Can't Get Over You, Be My Girl, and Stop Your Weeping just to name a few, were songs we wore out listening to and singing. However, a complete CD of all the drama the Dramatics displayed must include this CD, and other hits such as Toast to a fool, Whatcha see is whatcha get, Fell for you, Get up get down, Thank you for your love, Hey You! get off my mountain, And I panicked, I dedicate my life to you, You're fooling you, Finger fever, Shake it well, Now you got me loving you, Beautiful people, Say the word, Never let you go, Somewhere in time, One love ago, When love is over, Trying to get over losing you, I cried all the way home, Me, myself and I, Good things don't come easy, I get carried away, I was the life of the party, After this dance, Don't make me no promises, Choosing up on you, Tune up, I'm in love (Dells/ Dramatics), and last but not least, Love is missing from our lives (Dells/Dramatics). Put together this CD (Be My Girl: Their Greatest Love Songs), and the other hits I recommended and you have a collection that would be priceless!

5 out of 5 stars Forgit How Stoopid This Reviewer Is, Get This NOW, Baby!.......2001-07-17

...it is literally jam packed. Each cut is a delicious serving of reeaaal R & Bee balladry! It has what I consider one of the Top Ten all time Greatest--I say Greatest!--Soul/R & Bee Vocal Ballads ever done! The great "Be My Girl" penned by Michael Henderson. But that's the last track on this collection. Which means unless you cheat and skip tracks, you have to WAIT TO HEAR IT....but worry not, y'all. You will better off playing it in sequence in its entirety. It has that "I'll put a hold on your check" catchline used in many a brother's 2 AM club rap (follow me, now) and the beggin' LJ Reynolds goin' into "aw, baaaa-bee, please, babybabybaby, please" vocal overdrive in the perfect "I Can't Get Over You"...it has another classic and perfect tune "Welcome Back Home". Why are you wasting time readin' this? You're missing out on a great, great CD....

5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Love Song CDs (Reggae or Not) EVER!.......2003-02-22

At the risk of sounding like his agent, I am hard pressed to think of a better love song CD. If you are familiar with Gregory Isaacs, you know how good he is. If you are not familiar with him, this CD is an excellent compilation of the work he has done over the years. From the first track (Night Nurse (my favorite)) to the last track (Sad to know (you're leaving)), this CD is 75 minutes of ear candy. The comparisons to Marvin Gaye, John Coltran, and Al Green are very accurate.

If this CD does not get your "significant other" "in the mood", seek relationship counseling! QUICK!

5 out of 5 stars "laid-back distinctive style is soothing for love songs".......2003-01-28

Hip-O Records presents a voice at its sultry best from the '70s & '80s within the genre of reggae. This buoyant sound belongs to Gregory Isaacs featuring his latest release "Greatest Love Songs", inclusive are soothing selections with a laid-back distinctive style, Isaacs is at the top of his form. This is an excellent comprehensive collection for you the listener and the love potion that comes pouring through your speakers.

Gregory's silky smooth tenor style weaves a spell with "NIGHT NURSE", this self titled album from the early '80s, proves he is the undisputed king of reggae ~ "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE", lyrics take the front seat on this one ~ "COOL DOWN THE PACE", great intro arrangement on this one, Isaacs got you in the palm of his hand ~ "LOVING PAUPER", lyrics flow with "can't take you out to fancy places, I'm only able to romance you and make you tingle with delight", they sure don't write them like that anymore.

In closing, Gregory sings one of my favorite tunes of the album "SAD TO KNOW (YOU'RE LEAVING)", as he sings "what more can we say, even though it's kind of grieving...but we know you'll be returning soon". And you know what, you have...so welcome back GREGORY ISAACS!

5 out of 5 stars For Water Aerobics, a Top-Ten CD.......2005-07-30

I provide music for water aerobics classes. The class members are typically retirees, and like Classical music, yet until this CD the only Classical music with a beat distinctive and steady enough for water aerobics that I'd found was on the "Hooked on Classics" series. Thus, for water aerobics, this is a find.

Also contributing to this CD's popularity for water aerobics are that: (1) many of the songs are upbeat, and (2) "new stereo" recordings (in contrast to my recordings of Sousa marches that were played by Sousa himself; he died in the 1930s.)

In Summary, were you to buy just ten CDs for water aerobics classes, this would be one of them.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest March Sampling Out There!.......2004-04-05

Knowing very little about classical music, I bought several march compilations a few years back, in hopes that I could develop at least a fanboy level of appreciation. Of the compilations I picked up, this is the one that showed me the most diverse sampling of marches. If you want to become familiar with the march genre, this collection runs away with the blue ribbon, with no contendors close behind. The other compilations I came across focused strictly on the American military marches; they were all very good, but this compilation dishes up a diverse menu, from Ludwig Von Beethoven to John Williams.

This CD has a special place in my collection since it turned me on to John Philip Sousa, who has become one of my favorite composers ever. The Sousa selections on this CD are performed by The Incredible Columbia All-Star Band. I enjoyed these tunes immensely enough to buy some Sousa compilations, and found that while the All-Star Band's take on Sousa tunes is very good, I greatly prefer the releases by The United States Marine Band. The Sousa tunes on this CD are a bit rushed for my taste, while The United States Marine Band's delivery seems more pronounced and evenly paced.

My personal favorite track is Kenneth Alford's "Colonel Bogey" performed by John Williams and The Boston Pops Orchestra. They take Alford's memorable placid march, and shape it into a powerful storm-of-an-orchestral march. Absent are the keyboards prevalent in many renditions of Colonel Bogey, but beautifully replaced with a dynamic orchestra.

It's the variety of marches, however, that steal the show, especially if you are a novice like I am, and want to find out which era of marches is your cup of tea. You get a wide range, from Hector Berlioz's Racoczy March from "Damnation of Faust," to Edwin Bagley's "National Emblem March," to Victor Herbert's "March of the Toys," all the way up to the present day with John William's "The Raider's March" from "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

I am still getting my feet wet learning about marches, and this compilation has given me a great head start. No doubt I'll cringe one day if I read this clumsy description of Sousa and Alford tunes, but for the time being, I am having great fun discovering a whole new school of music. This CD is a great starting point if you want to become familiar with marches.

Just one other comment that will only further display my amateur level of classical music appreciation, but I've just got to say it: JOHN PHILIP SOUSA ROCKS!!! There are very few pieces that sound as happy and uplifting as a Sousa march. I proudly salute Mr. Sousa!

4 out of 5 stars For the Lover of Marches.......2002-05-16

This is the best march music CD I have in my collection. It covers a range from Beethoven's "Turkish March" (track 5 and my favorite of the CD) to Sousa. The weakness of the CD comes from the Incredible Columbia All-Star Band tracks. They do a few Sousa marches and the difference between them and the Boston Pops is very noticable. But that's just a minor complaint and certainly nothing to keep you from buying and enjoying this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Blood Pumping Music.......2001-01-30

This CD took me back many years. It has great music that will get your blood pumping. It is a great selection of music and should be in anyones CD collection!!

5 out of 5 stars Blood Pumping Music.......2001-01-30

This CD is a great CD. It includes some the worlds most famous marches with a great recording. I grew up in marching bands in East Texas and loved marches, and this CD gets my blood pumping and takes me back to the old days. If you love great music and marches, this is a sure buy!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Love Songs Tom Jones.......2006-02-23

A fantastic recording! There is not a more romantic voice in the world and this recording shows the master at his best.He has the ability to have every person feel he is singing just to them in person and the CD has the same affect. I have no favorite track. Love th entire thing. Thank you, Tom.

5 out of 5 stars "legendary crooner weaves his spell of love".......2003-01-28

Hip-O Records presents the power and presence of Tom Jones, with his latest album "Greatest Love Songs", as we hear the legendary crooner weave his spell with some classic love songs. This son of a Welsh coal miner came up the hard way, with his very own television show in the late '60s. Tom sets the mood with emotion that his husky voice conveys with each articulate lyric.

Just think, seventeen selections focusing on one of his big hits "IT'S NOT UNUSUAL", from the 1965 self titled album...where were you when you first heard this one...can you believe this was banned by the BBC. Another favorite is "(IT LOOKS LIKE)I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN", how many of us have felt that way once or twice in our lives, Tom gives a haunting rendition that stays with you. A very big hit for Eddie Fisher was "WITH THESE HANDS", and "I'll never let you go and I will sing to you", Tom gives one of his best performances. With "HELLO YOUNG LOVERS", he swings lightly with a Nelson Riddle arrangement. This Victor Young composition"WHEN I FALL IN LOVE", is the classic Nat "King" Cole hit from a long running career of standards that made us feel every word. Just "HELP YOURSELF", to my lips and my arms, then let's really start to live...this says it all. Love is the thing that the whole wide world needs plenty of "WITHOUT LOVE(THERE IS NOTHING)", words to live by, specially in these trying times. You are my reason to live, all I own I would give as Tom sings "TILL", from the Roger Williams Songbook, as we look back to the '50s...Mr. Jones sings this from the heart, just in time for Valentines Day.

My own personal stand outs are "MY FOOLISH HEART", another Victor Young composition with lyrics from Ned Washington, the night is like a lovely tune, beware my foolish heart...there's a line between love and fascination...the words grab you immediately, and Tom carefully sets the stage for each syllable. One can reach into the Tom Jones bag of hits and close this review with "LOVE ME TONIGHT", lyrics rise like smoke in the night with "please let my stay, don't send me away, hold me now my heart is breaking, something is burning inside and cannot be denied"...Tom ends this on a high note and holds the same for almost 15 seconds...it could have been longer, gotta love it!

Hip-O has outdone itself with the help of some talented people Bill Levenson (producer), Pat Lawrence & Dana Smart (executive producers), Ellen Fitton (mastered by)...and of course the man who stole our hearts and gave so much of himself...TOM JONES!
