Just FYI it is true that amazon has the wrong title selections for this CD on the first 6 selections. Those are the songs from the movie Sooner or Later, which is a sweet romantic comedy set in the 70's. If you are a die hard Rex fan than this CD is a must for your collection. Rex's voice smolders, no other word for it. So if you are nostalgic for music from the latter 70's-early 80's this is the one for you. Rex has a website and offers a more recent version of the favorites (You take my breath away CD), but this captures his maturing voice. Not at all bad, but I am partial to his earlier recordings. They have a heat all their own, and that takes my breath away!!!!

"Forever" by Rex Smith show cases the artists extraordinary vocal power as well as creative song writing power.

I love this cd I have a lot of his music on lps and would like to see more come out on cds. He can really sing a love song great. This is a good cd to listen to with someone you love.

All I can say about this CD...totally and completely AWESOME!! Not only do you get old music but new music on this CD. Rex is such a wonderful musician...I wonder why he does not put out more CDs! I know he has his real estate business, but his talent in the music industry is untouchable! Thank you, Rex! I look forward to your next album...hopefully soon!

If there are more than five stars I could rate this cd, I would give it more than five stars. It deserves it. I practically browsed through every record stores I knew looking for any album by Rex Smith that contained the songs "Oh Girl" and "What becomes of the Broken-Hearted", to no avail. I even e-mailed the guys from this website about it and they told me that Rex Smith didn't sing the songs that I just mentioned. But I insisted. Then, after long years of waiting, and hoping, here it is. At last! The Rex Smith I have been waiting for is on my computer screen, smiling at me, as if saying: "So, what are you waiting for?" The cd is quite pricey, though, but, hey, it's not very often that dreams come true. It's really worth every penny. The first 10 songs I have on vinyl, on two LPs actually. But it is the last 8 songs that I was hoping to find. I give each of the songs 5 stars. These songs are from an album, the title of which I don't remember anymore. I had them on cassette back in the '80s. And to reproduce them on cd along with the rest of the tracks is just awesome and one-of-a-kind. Whoever compiled these songs is a genius and knows what music is all about. So, guys, if you like Rex Smith, are a fan of Rex Smith, or are just curious to hear how Rex gives justice to the oldies, this is your chance to listen to him. So, what are you waiting for?

The music included on this CD is the very best of Rex's career. It speaks from the heart. You can always tell what he is truely feeling just by what he sings about in his music.
These 2 albums when they debuted originally were my strenth and inspriiraton after my husbnad died.
Without this music years later when both of my son's passed away I would not have had the strength to continue.
There are times that others do not realize the power of their work as well as the impact it has on others.
Next time you plug this CD in listen to the words that Rex is saying. The meaning is truly timeless.
Thank You Rex for putting this out again for the next generation to enjoy.

If the 6 first songs are incorrect,could someone please enlight me if this collection includes his top-10 hit "You take my breath away"?Thanks guys....
