5.0 out of 5 stars musica de amor, October 9, 2001

This is a great collection of songs by the unforgettable Javier Solis, who's incredible voice is one of the most beautiful of Mexico's many wonderful singers, and for pure richness of sound, perhaps no one can compare. In his short life (he died on April 16th, 1966 at the age of 33) he left us a legacy of some of the most romantic music on record.

These 20 songs are classics, every one a gem, and all sung with so much heart and passion. Favorites are "Flor de Azalea", "La Hiedra", and Jose Alfredo Jimenez' "Que Bonito Amor". Sony did a remarkable job with the sound on this CD. Crisp and clear, it doesn't sound anywhere near as old as these recordings must be. Total running time is 55:59.

Solis was one of the finest singers in any age and genre that the world has known...and if you've never had the good fortune to hear him, this CD is a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars PAUL from Amarillo, Texas, February 15, 2000

It is truly a shame that such a magnificent talent was taken from us from people that did not realize what a unique and one-of-kind talent lived among them back in the 60's. I started listening to Javier Soliz in 1968 when he had already been dead for 2 years and from that moment on, I was hooked. There are many more songs that needed his interpretation to make them truly wonderful. No other singer singing this style of music has ever gotten close to his quality. How beautiful if he had gotten to sing with a full orchestra and songs in English. His fame would have been fenomenol. The abilities in his voice surpassed those of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, or Johnny Mathis in what he could do with his voice. I never cease to be amazed at the richness and quality that on person can have in his voice. I hope the music companies will get busy and release all the music that he recorded because we want to add it to our collection. If you want to hear acrobatics in notes listen to Valses Mexicanos or Canciones Espanolas, and try to follow the music with your voice and you will see how difficult it is to sing in this style.

5.0 out of 5 stars El Rey Del Bolero Ranchero, January 21, 2000

Javier Solis, como lo mencionan anteriormente es el mejor de los mejores, a pesar de que existen muchos CD's, faltan muchísimas canciones interpretadas por este gran artista, que de verdad son hermosas en su voz. A manera de sugerencia espero que se reeditaran sus canciones que no se han reeditado y que en su tiempo (y en el actual) son un verdadero Hit. Pongamos por ejemplo el album llamado:"boleros,boleros,boleros", que hasta la fecha no ha habido ninguna reedición; a su vez existe otro que lleva por título: "boleros moruños" en la misma situación; de igual manera hay muchos más, los mismos que cualquier coleccionista y admirador de este artista desearía tenerlos.
