5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Stars, Yes, But...., September 28, 2001

This review is from: Gloria Estefan - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

First off, Gloria Estefan is just one amazing artist. Words cannot express how good she is. However, as a huge fan, I believe many other fans and myself would have rathered the tracklisting include a particular 4 more songs. This is my version of an improved tracklisting for this CD:

1. Dr. Beat (ISN'T ON THE CD)
2. Words Get In the Way
3. Can't Stay Away From You
4. Bad Boy (ISN'T ON THE CD)
5. Conga
6. 1-2-3 (remix)
7. Rhythm Is Gonna Get You
8. Anything For You
9. Here We Are
10. Get On Your Feet
11. Cuts Both Ways (WASN'T AS BIG A HIT AS THE REST, BUT WAS
STILL A HIT and SHE RECEIVED a MAJOR SONGWRITING
AWARD FOR IT, ISN'T ON CD)
12. Don't Wanna Lose You
13. Coming Out of the Dark
14. Live For Loving You (ISN'T ON CD)
15. Christmas Through Your Eyes
16. I See Your Smile
17. Go Away
18. Always Tomorrow

This would have been perfect. There is an ample 21+ minutes left to add music to this CD, but these 4 hits, among others, aren't here. Incidently, LIVE FOR LOVING YOU is my favorite, a huge hit that they still play on the radio, that isn't here. Maybe that's what really fueled my criticism. However, songs like CAN'T STAY AWAY FROM, HERE WE ARE, and I SEE YOUR SMILE, among others, truly make this CD 5 Stars!!!!! Don't these songs just make you feel like you're on some tropical island? Its so perfect its just amazing. No one has ever and will ever create music so versatilly (I hope I spelled that right) as Gloria Estefan.

Take my advice, get this CD anyway. And pick up copies of CUTS BOTH WAYS, INTO THE LIGHT, PRIMITIVE LOVE, and THE EYES OF INNOCENCE, eventually. LET IT LOOSE is the only predecessing album covered here, but you might want to get it anyway, since it has the album version of 1-2-3 on it. (THE REMIX IS HERE). The others have undispensable songs on them. Whether you get them used or new from AMAZON, they are worth the investment. One listen, and you will know.

This is one of my all-time favorite collections. This CD contains songs from the 80s and 90s that will bring back sweet memories. "Don't Want to Lose You Now", and "Anything for You" are classic ballads that told the world how talented Ms. Estefan realy is. This is definitely a favorite to add to your musical collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Through Her Eyes, July 30, 2000

This review is from: Gloria Estefan - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

To Gloria Estefan, our world is a global village of sensual sounds, exotic rhythms, and passionate words. On "Greatest Hits" we get 14 eclectic tracks of well balanced, harmonious, music with a Latin edge. Four of these tracks were previously unreleased and are superb. "Christmas Through Your Eyes" is a daunting ballad for anytime of the year, about seing life as her precious children do. And the sassy "Go Away" will make you grin & waggle your finger at that naughty man of yours!

I remember when Ms. Estefan was not out front yet and their band, "The Sound Machine", played Ybor City at free concerts. I knew then, by the driving percussions, wailing horns & her sensual vocals--their rhythm was gonna get us all!

A superb addition for "best of" collections.

other musical suggestions: "Buena Vista Social Club" and "Experience the Divine" by Bette Midler
