This review is from: Broken Hearted: A Collection of the World's Best Heartbreakers (Audio CD)

And performed by the original artist or one or more members of the original group. 'nuff said, although 3 selections are the original recordings. K-tel Entertainment you know but the ad didn't say these were re-records so for the current price(cheap) and the nice artwork, I add an extra 'star' (1 star normally for this type of stuff).

Eddie Holman, Hey There Lonely Girl is in good voice but the backup singers are the pits. The Cascades, Rhythm Of The Rain can't be song by the former lead vocalist John Gummoe, oh my goodness!

This was early 60's and 70's RnB, Doo Wop and AM Pop material but it's all MOR (middle of road) drudge now and can't hold up to the original songs. I could go on but...please don't force me.

Note: The 3 original songs are; Timi Yuro(You've Lost The Loving Feeling), Gloria Gaynor(He's Out of My Life) but must of been recorded very late in her career, and Barbara George(I Know You Don't Love Me No More) she's actual in good voice.
