1.0 out of 5 stars WHERE is the Original/Fabulous 'Love Letters'?, June 16, 2000
By Lance Drake (Santa Fe, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I made the ridiculous mistake of buying THREE copies of what I thought was one of the BEST female vocal albums of all time. THIS one is NOT it! Sad to say, Ketty Lester was several orders of magnitude better in the REAL 'Love Letters' album. This album was a HUGE dissapointment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love Letters, December 19, 1999
By A Customer
Although this is not the classic Love Letters album (Era Label)she issued at the time "Love Letters" was #1, it does contain the follow-up hit"But Not for Me" which was not on that original album. However the rest of the album seems like the outtakes from her RCA days.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dreamvoice, July 13, 2005
From the dim light of the past, a dreamvoice, quiet and persuasive, is telling to us what is hidden in the heart
of an artist woman.
Voice and Music: everithing is quiet and soft: we seem to be
listening to the intimate feelings of a sensitive heart.
