4.0 out of 5 stars I still love You Maureen O'Hara!, April 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Back to Erin & Irish Love Songs (Audio CD)

This is one of my favorite collections of old-time Irish/American love songs. The artists, largely unknown by today's younger generation, were very well known to American radio and TV audiences of the 40's 50's and 60's. Maureen O'Hara, Frank Parker, Pat Harrington, Carmel Quinn, Brendan O'Dowda, and Morton Downey all do what they did best for their time. But the best of the lot is the old movie super-star Maureen O'Hara, for years regarded as the Quintessential Irish Beauty. She performs the traditional ballads: COME BACK TO ERIN, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT NIGHT, LOVE? NEXT MARKET DAY, NORA LEE, I ONCE LOVED A BOY, GIVE HIM TO ME, and HE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR with genuine style and grace. And Carmel Quinn's throaty renditions of DOONAREE, SPINNING WHEEL, and IF I WERE A BLACKBIRD are exceptional. This collection "Come Back to Erin," along with the companion CDs, "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" and "They Call it Ireland" are about the only places one can find O'Hara and Quinn these days, although I've noticed most of the others on various older LP and cassette collections.
