Editorial Reviews

Best of Debby Boone is a ten-track budget-priced collection that features some of her biggest hits, including "You Light Up My Life," "God Knows," "When You're Loved," "Perfect Fool," "Free to Be Lonely Again" and "Are You On the Road to Love." This isn't a bad budget-priced disc, especially since there aren't really any better Boone collections currently available. -All Music Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Best of Debby Boone" A Must for Her Fans., April 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

After her mega hit "You Light Up My Life" in 1977, Debby Boone's subsequent singles, however good they were, achieved only moderate success on the easy listening and country charts. They are assembled here on this "best of" mid line CD. Included are her wonderful versions of several oldies from the 60s such as "Baby, I'm Yours." In addition to her no. 1 hit, she also sings two other motion picture theme songs, "When You're Loved" from "The Magic of LAssie" and "I'll Never Say Goodbye" from "The Promise." Although they had little impact on the charts when released initially, nonetheless, they are two of the most beautiful love songs to come from the movies in the seventies. "Are You On the Road to Loving Me Again," with its catchy lyric and upbeat rhythm, is still a personal favorite after all these years.

When I met Debby Boone after she performed in concert here last year, I lamented the fact that the record companies have not signed her to record more secular music, perhaps an album of movie theme songs, or one of romance classics, or perhaps a big band album. She is such a talented performer with such a lovely voice. Her fans want more of her on records, and we're still waiting.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Great to Have This Avail - But Where is Rest of Hers?, February 1, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Debby Boone has really been underrated as a pop singer. She has a beautiful voice and great deliveries on peppy and ballad pieces! I have 6 pop albums of hers I would like to replace but, unfortunately, the only available cds of hers other than this are religious ones. Her promotor needs to get some of her pop lps out on cd!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than a one hit wonder, September 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Although the song choice for this CD is curious, (why include "My Heart Has A Mind of It's Own" and leave out "See You In September" and "I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love"?) even the songs on here confirm that Debby Boone is a much finer singer than critics have claimed. "You Light Up My Life" is a beautiful song, beautifully sung. The artist can't help it if it was overplayed. Most of the other songs on this CD are also gems; "When You're Loved" and "I'll Never Say Goodbye" are standouts, songs that any artist would be proud to have on a greatest hits CD. Unfortunately, several songs from her early albums that are wonderful ("What Becomes of My World", "The End of The World", "Until Your Love Broke Through", "Take It Like A Woman") are missing, and none of her Christian contemporary songs are on this CD, but it's great as it is.
