5.0 out of 5 stars A warm, captivating voice!, November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Alone Together (Audio CD)

Linda has a long career as an actress, but is only recently being given attention for her incredibly warm, exciting singing voice!! Rex Reed wrote what amounts to a love letter in his review of her latest cabaret performances, and this long-awaited CD gives ample proof to a wider audience what all the hubbub's about! Her versions of songs from the 60s - HOLD ME, THRILL ME, KISS ME - THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE WITH YOU - and her compelling versions of songs from the 30s, 40s and 50s - are breathtaking! This woman can ACT as well as SING a song, and it shows!! The producers/engineers chose a rather harsh-sounding microphone for her vocals, but no matter - any recording by Linda Purl is going to be great, regardless - she's a class act - and her musical gifts are not to be denied!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, November 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Alone Together (Audio CD)

While recently listening to the S.T.A.G.E. benefit concert honoring Johnny Mercer, Linda Purl's version of "Midnight Sun" piqued my curiosity. I decided to take a chance and order her CD, "Alone Together." I am so glad I did! Not only is her voice beautiful, but the arrangements on this CD are outstanding. Until now I had only heard Mel Carter's '60s recording of "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" - I love Linda's slower tempo version here. Also of note are "Teach Me Tonight," "The Nearness of You," and "I'll Be Around." But the jewel of the CD is "You're My Thrill," a wonderful version interspersed with snippets of "Misty" - just, simply, a masterpiece! By the way, I am so tired of spending big bucks on CD's for very little play time (e.g., Bette's latest), but this CD does not disappoint in that department. It contains 15 tracks! If you like to just sit back and relax while listening to beautifully performed and flawlessly produced music, buy this CD. You will NOT be disappointed!

Who knew??!! Although I have enjoyed Linda Purl as an actress for probably 25
years, what a pleasant surprise to find she has an amazing singing voice. Wonderful material, great interpretaion, and a fantastic band. Anyone who likes light jazz and standards will love this CD!
