5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Collection, September 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Eddie Cantor:The Columbia Years: 1922-1940 (Audio CD)

This is a fantastic collection of Eddie's music. If you like Eddie Cantor as much as I do, you'll want this! That old time music is terrific, and so hard to find among the cd world. If you are interested in this one, you should also try the Al jolson one entitled 'You aint heard nothing yet,' by the same company. This eddie cd also contains information about his apprieciation society in the booklet, as well as a wealth of info on his columbia years. It's worth every penny, and I highly recommed it! :) Signed, 18 and loving E. Cantor!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review in Praise of "The Columbia Years:1922-1940", August 1, 2000

Although I've heard a few of these tracks before from the original discs, the previous recordings didn't begin to compare with the improvements that they are able to make to the volume, sound quality, etc. of these recordings. It is also a profound pleasure to hear in every recording how Eddie Cantor was able to "put a song over", i.e. "sell" a song, even those that would be indifferent at best, treated by any other entertainer. This CD set is a vital additionto the collection of anyone who is fond of the great popular music and comic songs of the first four decades of the 20th century, and pays especial attention to the 1920s.

I bought this set because it would take me back to my youth, prior to WWII, when we used to hum Edie Cantor songs. It did that. However, Cantor's vice is much worse than I remembered it and the songs are hard to force oneself to listen But it is nostalgia. I don't think anyone would listen to these songs for any other reason.
