5.0 out of 5 stars For The Greatest Generation. I just love this recording., June 21, 2001

For anyone who feels like me...like they should have been a young person during WWII...or for anyone who is a member of the Greatest Generation, this is an absolute must for your record (dating myself) CD collection. These are some really fine moments for Rosie. "Saturday Night..." "September Song" "These Foolish Things" "For All We Know" there isn't a song here that doesn't make me feel like a 22 year old newlywed hanging around my New York apartment doing the ironing while I long for my soldier. Maybe that's just too corny, but this is lovely music that evokes memories for some and creates them for others.

This is the best Rosemary Clooney CD I have heard yet. Each song is so well sung (that's obvious, given the artist), but I think that sets Ms. Clooney apart from other singers is her way of turning phrases.
The selection "For All We Know" is the most powerful song I have ever heard. The day this CD arrived, I had to drive out of town for a family funeral and was unable to attend an out of state funeral for another relative. The words of this song and the emotions of each of these WWII tunes really spoke to me that weekend. I was so moved my FOR ALL WE KNOW, that I took time to let those I love know how much I do love them.
A great CD by a great lady!

5.0 out of 5 stars "standard tunes during the Second World War from Rosie", December 17, 2000

Concord Jazz has outdone themselves with "FOR ALL WE KNOW WE MAY NEVER MEET AGAIN", or so the song goes and through the magic of music these memorable performances by the "girl singer" are here "For The Duration", which has never ended. Just think, the tunes we listened to during the World War II years have never really left us, thanks to Rosie who really understands the times and lyrics.

Rosie sings for us in her own special way - "DON'T FENCE ME IN" the classic Cole Porter song and a big hit from her good friend Bing Crosby...the unforgettable "SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY" a Les Brown composition with tender interpretation, has lasting memories that touch your heart...in closing "I'LL BE SEEING YOU" the old times are here again, when Rosemary and these remarkable musicians take a look back when love was everywhere and America was fighting for world freedom.

So listen, as Rosie sings with warm and tender feelings for old and new fans, these songs never grow old...fresh original style you've grown to love over the decades from our "girl singer"...this sure hit is not to be missed!

Total Time: 56:24 on 14 Tracks...Concord Jazz CCD-4444...(1991)
