5.0 out of 5 stars I must disagree, October 30, 2001

I don't know where Lawrance M. Bernabo is coming from, but to say "there just are not as many great songs by this duo" as by other composers is absurd. Rodgers & Hart songs are consistenly musically superior to Rodgers & Hammerstein songs due simply to the fact the Hammerstein insisted on writing the lyrics first, thereby locking Rodgers into conventional tempi and limiting his creative options. I would put Rodgers & Hart on an equal plane with the Gershwins and Porter, and certainly with Berlin. Rodgers melodies shine on this album, and I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars SOME GEMS, September 11, 2004

Like most collections of this type,this disc is not satisfying as a whole,but contains some gems if you are a RODGERS and HART fan.GORDON MACRAE's version of MY FUNNY VALENTINE is marvelous,and so is MARGARET WHITING's THOU SWELL,PEGGY LEE's THE LADY IS A TRAMP and DEAN MARTIN's IT'S EASY TO REMEMBER to name a few.Half of the cd is quite good.On the bad side are the vocal groups's version of songs that simply does not belong in the collection.It's a pity that they did not include FRANK SINATRA who was a CAPITOL singer from 1953 to 1962.So if you are a die hard fan of DICK and LARRY,it is worth buying especially at this low price.

I expected a CD with old interpretations and/or historic ones. To my surprise, these old recordings are quite modern and good to the ears. I recommend this disk for the good memories it brings.
