I remember when I was 16 or 17 when I first heard "I was made for dancing" and I got hooked with the tune but never knew the title to the song and at that time I was having my own troubles and growing pains to have the opportunity to go out and get it. I am now older and wiser and got the golden chance to to see the moving interview of VHI's "Behind the Music". It was a real shame that the big shots
did not give him the chance to break out in rock tunes and made him
the puppet of how the music market moves. In essence the used him up and spit him out like they do a lot of the child actors. Holliwood is certainly more than a sleazy town, it's also a life taker in many forms. Hey I know that he should have gotten a band together and break away from the tight grip of the record labels but what can u do when you are a minor!?

His interview really moved a lot of ppl from looking around in the internet. Leif has always been special even after he made some terrible mistakes. He has now moved on with his life. He has many fans that adore him and I do hope that he will always know that and that all that he is expected to do is to take care of himself. My hats of to a guy that has immersed himself into downward spiral of self destruction and go on national TV to admitt to all his errors. God be with him.

I have always loved Leif Garrett and will always have a special place in my heart for him. I know every one of his songs and with the samples, I was singing right along. I did have all of his albums but over the years they were damaged. If you loved him then, you'll love him now. With his music of yesteryear, he probably won't receive a music award, but just to have the music that was a part of your life growing up as I did just somehow comforts you. I enjoy it just as much today as I did then. I still hope one day to meet him. Try not to be too hard on someone that the industry just wanted to get every dime out of and as much as they could. If Leif meant something to you, then just enjoy. If not, then go visit Shaun Cassidy's collection.

I love the CD ever since the first time i got it. Leif also has a new band out called F8 and the music's pretty good and i love it. Keep on rockin' and never give up, rock on F8!

I was so thankful to discover that there was finally a re-release of Leif Garrett songs, that would have otherwise been so hard to find in the current market. I can finally stop trying to listen to my original 45 single of "I Was Made for Dancin'" from 1979, which suffers from skips and scratches from playing it SO much over the years. I am disappointed that the B side of "I Was Made for Dancin'", called "Livin Without Your Love" wasn't also included in the collection. That song made me swoon in delight as a little girl. Rock on Leif, you were such a cutie, and I still think you are super cool!!!!!!!!

Talk about childhood memories, my room was totally decorated with Leif. We used to act like he was chasing us. He grew up right along side of me, I still have his old casette, it's pretty worn out but still going strong. Good Luck to you Leif I hope you beat the monkey.

I have been a huge Leif fan for about 24 years now. I guess that makes me 34 years old. I even bought 2 copies of this CD in case I wear one out. I even helped with the VH1 show and my name is in the credits at the end of the show. I look forward to Leif's new CD coming out the beginning of the new year.

I purchased this album for the track "I Was Made For Dancing." But I love all the tracks. HOWEVER, my FAVORITE TRACK, "PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER," I think is one of Leif's BEST, a lot of sincere sounding heart is in this one (first time I heard Leif's version of it). Call me a romantic, but Leif's version of this track is timeless, and seems to wrap its arms around you like a loving hug. It is FLAWLESS and NATURAL flowing singing talent, like closing your eyes and your girl is there in your arms with you no matter how far away.

wow - a leif garrett collection in one cd. i was only 12 when leif entered the scene. he was the favorite cover of then emerging teen magazine "teen beat." his first single here in our country was "surfin' usa" which was a ctually a remake of the beach boys' hit.

as he grew older and years passed, fans saw that he coudl actually generate a hit after a hit...and so on...

my fave tracks here include "memorize your number" "when i think of you" "surfin usa" "runaround sue" and "i was looking for someone to love." this cd sounds great as the tracks were all remastered. it seems just like yesterday when leif was so popular and not nearly 30 years ago...

in an era where only few dared, leif was at the forefront of pop music, and this compilation summarizes the greatness of his short singing career.

I just love these songs: "MEMORIZE YOUR NUMBER","I WAS MADE FOR DANCIN'","NEW YORK CITY NIGHTS","WHEN I THINK OF YOU", the list gose on and on! Even though my other favorites are not on here this is a cool CD.

This CD kicks so much butt that there aren't any words that can describe it!!I missed out on the era of Leif,I'm a new fan(I'm only 14)and this CD helped me understand what all the fuss was about! I have pictures of Leif all over my room and my mom laughs and says it looks like her room when she was my age!
