5.0 out of 5 stars A Great voice, March 4, 2000

This review is from: John Charles Thomas: An American Classic (Audio CD)

I loved this voice after first encounter with this Thomas CD. His voice has a great quality of depth, uniqueness, smoothiness and of course strength. I only find 3 cd available, what a shame. I would probably buy all the rest. In conclusion, you get a heart-felt sweetness from listening to Thomas (Try sample 1 & 3). I hope I will find more of his singing record.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incomparable Performer, March 13, 2001

This review is from: John Charles Thomas: An American Classic (Audio CD)

Across the years, I have fallen in love with this voice and this man. Whether he sings an operatic aria, a hymn, a folk song, or a popular tune, his rendition becomes definitive. Surely no other singer has ever made "Home on the Range" sound so splendid. And he was also one of the greatest Verdi singers, if these old recordings, with all their limitations, do not lie.

John Charles Thomas had a wonderful voice. His memory would be better served with a digital restoration of this classic album.
