5.0 out of 5 stars Long Lost GEM, April 28, 2005

This review is from: America's Greatest Hero (Audio CD)

Thanks to the successful release of the classic TV show THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO on DVD, you now have the chance to visit (or revisit) theme song singer Joey Scarbury's great solo album, originally released back in 1981 when the show was on the air.

This a great album that includes some excellent music. Scarbury has an incredible voice and it's a shame his career was not more successful overall. Aside from the ever popular "Believe It Or Not" GAH theme song, there are quite a few other gems here like "Everything But Love" (written by GAH song writer master Stephen Geyer and Joey himself). Other great tunes include "When She Dances" (Top 50 hit / Billboard) and "Some Of My Old Friends" (which is the only other song, aside from the main theme, that was originally written for the TV show but then later turned into a full version for the album's release).

The CD has been fully remastered and sounds incredible. On top of that, an OUTSTANDING job has been done on the packaging of the CD (CD artwork, booklet, inner tray - it all looks GREAT). I HIGHLY recommend this CD!

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: America's Greatest Hero (Audio CD)

I just purchased this CD online and I have to say, it is one of the best CDs I have ever listened to. There are only 10 songs on the CD but I enjoyed all of them. My favorite was of course BELIEVE IT OR NOT, which is the theme song from my all time favorite show "THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO". You can never hear that song too many times. I also loved "LOVE ME LIKE THE LAST TIME and THERE IS A RIVER. There is a longer version of SOME OF MY OLD FRIENDS, which is from the episode "The Best Desk Scenario" from "THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO". This longer version has some extra instrumentals which makes it a more lively song than the one played in the episode. I would recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of the "THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO".

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good 80's pop!, April 30, 2005

This review is from: America's Greatest Hero (Audio CD)

This album was out of print forever, it seems, and with the release of the Greatest American Hero series on DVD, it since has been re-released. I am very happy to have purchased a copy through Amazon and have always enjoyed the music on this album. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, the title theme to the series, is the best song on here. There are at least 3 other good songs as well. I especially like EVERYTHING BUT LOVE and LOVE ME LIKE THE LAST TIME. Joey's voice reminds me very much of James Taylor. I recommend this CD because I love early 80's music.
