Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Compilation Of Her best Songs!, July 26, 2002

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best Of Brenda Lee (Millennium Collection) (Audio CD)

They once referred to Brenda Lee as Little Miss Dynamite because such big noises came out of such a little girl, but she sure wasted no time making her way to the top ten list. From her famous "I'm Sorry" to a soulful "Emotions" to "All Alone Am I", she was the perfect female vocalist of the early sixties, sharing the limelight with Connie Francis, who also had a number of top ten hits in the same era. With "Break It To Me Gently", "Losing You", and "Everybody Loves Me But You", she enjoyed a long string of consecutive hits. So, too, with "I Want To Be Wanted", "Sweet Nothings", "Fool Number One", "You Can Depend On Me" and "sweet Nothings", she guaranteed her place in popular music history. This is a great compilation of all her hits, and I am sure you will love listening to it again and again. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars timeless, June 5, 2004

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best Of Brenda Lee (Millennium Collection) (Audio CD)

This is timeless, beautiful music that can be listened to for ages.It's funny to consider that this was considered "pop" music back in the day; all I know is that pop music sure don't sound this good nowadays. Every song is melodically beautiful, classically arranged, and delivered with Brenda's unmistakeable,TO DIE-FOR delivery.She doesn't have the strongest voice in the world-but there's that something-that raspy undertone mixed with sweet sassiness and sultry swoops that makes up for any lack of range or strength that she may have.Absolutely timeless,unforgettable music-each song greater than the last.

This CD shows off the dynamic talents of Miss Lee to the full. Her superlative renditions, together with fabulous arrangements and superb backing makes ALL of her recordings great buying for just great music. Long may she reign over music.
