5.0 out of 5 stars Bernadette on fire!, February 23, 2002

This is probably my favorite recording of Bernadette (too bad it didn't include "Chico's Girl"). Bernadette's voice has a tough, raw quality to it on some of the songs like "Only Wounded" and "Other Lady" where you can literally hear her voice crack and cry with emotion. That's why I love this...because it is so emotional! The hit single "Gee Whiz" is a great throwback to the 50s and Bernadette was able to score points on Radio (and even an appearance on American Bandstand). This is great stuff that shows why Bernadette Peters is a Broadway Idol!

I am a fan of Bernadette Peters and have been since I first heard her sing in the delightful show "Dames at Sea" - so many years ago. My admiration for her singing and her interpretation of wonderful songs have done nothing but expand. This particular recording is mostly made up of music recorded in 1980 and 1981. Beginning with Steven Sondheim's "Broadway Baby" from Follies and ending with Harry Warren's "You'll Never Know" this is packed with great songs and magnificent singing. While I like every single one of the songs, the poignant "Other Lady" by Lesley Gore and Ellen Watson seals the fate of this CD to be at the top of my most listened to stack that I keep handy at all times. Wonderfully subtle renditions of "Mean to Me" and "If You Were The Only Boy" help to make this CD one of the best collection of Ms. Peters' singing that is available. Trust me - if you like good songs, terrific singing, and Bernadette Peters - RUSH to get this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prime Peters, April 16, 2002

Recorded during Peters' prime, this album is a wonderful foray into pop songs rather than Broadway. Combining selections from two LPs issued in the late '70s, it allows Peters to showcase her great range of expressiveness and vocal resources. My only regret is what I call the "Cuban" song from one of the LPs did not make the final cut onto the CD. What is here are very good '60s and '70s pop songs covering a wide emotional range performed all out by one of the best voices of her generation.
