3.0 out of 5 stars Half & Half, May 13, 2002

Great to see Steve have a hand in his own Anthology, and a nice 31 tracks. On the downside, many of the tracks are from lacking vinyl & some of his charted hits are missing...not exactly a proper "Anthology" now is it!? Regardless, I don't forsee anything else coming out legitimately soon so...this will do.

If you don't who Steve Alaimo is, then you never saw the after school teen show from the mid sixties, "Where the Action Is! Now subtract a star! This CD crams 31 cuts on to one disc, and includes 6 of his 9 charted hits (yes, the best ones) plus it has the hard to find "I Don't Know", possibly the best thing he ever recorded. It has a great Jamaican ska beat and a cool horn work. What I found most interesting was that every cut has totally different styling that can be identified with a major star of the era. (HINT: the first and last tracks are BobbyDarin). Further, on "Amerikan Music" Steve imitates some of the popular singers of the time, it's hard to put a finger on an "Alaimo" style. I'd been looking for "I Don't Know" for many years so I was pleased with this disc. Once you listen, you'll understand why Steve never became a big star. Music buffs may have a problem with a couple of tracks that are in rough mono. If you don't know what mono is, subtract another star!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good profile of an under-rated singer, January 12, 1999

I remember Steve from Where the Action Is - a nice looking guy with a folk rock sort of voice. I always really liked "Everyday I have to cry some" which is track 21. The anthology is very well thought out and really showcases Steve's voice. Now, if only there were a Donna Loren anthology!
