What I like about this CD is that ALL my favorite songs are here! This is great to use for travelling, in the car, plane, etc, or even at work. I especially love La Zandunga, an old standby, that brought back memories of my childhood.

I will enjoy these two cds for many years. I liked Vicki's singing in CD #1 because of the obvious joy in her voice and the ritmo. The duet with Ana Gabriel ( I warn you ) tears at my soul. The two duets in CD#2 are also the highlights of this recording that is if you can overlook "Zandunga" which I can't.

It is a wonderful way of collecting the best of Vicky Carr on one disk. It is beautifully done with the charisma that she can only put into romance.

Una buena combinación de temas romáticos y de boleros y música de mariachis. Infaltable en toda CDteca.

Two discs, neatly divided into Carr's Latin-pop repertoire and her more traditional mariachi side. An excellent compilation, though some liner notes could have made the package perfect.

Vikki is a very special lady, who looks beautiful and sings like an angel. Her voice is powerful, yet she knows how to use it correctly, without overpowering you. As many other reviewers have said, there is nowhere near enough of her music available, but the best way of encouraging record companies to make more available is to buy what there is.

For many years, I resisted buying music sung in languages I didn't understand, but I now realise just how much I was missing. With a singer as expressive as Vikki, it is still possible to share in the emotional experience of the song, whether it be joy or sadness. I don't always give music my dedicated attention - like many of you, I often play music as background to whatever else I am doing. In such a situation, it doesn't matter what the language is.

Unlike her English language recordings, which contained lots of covers, there are no covers here - at least no obvious ones - but the songs are clearly of a high quality and cover a wide range of tempos and moods.

This is an outstanding bargain - 30 tracks of pure magic. If you like Vikki's English recordings, or if you understand Spanish, you'll enjoy this.

30 songs ...-- a bargain! And what songs, what wonderful renditions by Vikki Carr. I especially love the duet with Vicente Fernandez, "Dos Corazones," the spirited "Ni princesa ni esclava," the heart-wrenching "Paloma Negra." Not to mention the gorgeous "Y volvere." If you buy only one Vikki Carr CD in Spanish, this is the one to get. I wish it had liner notes with more information about when these songs were recorded and the musicians/arrangers, etc., involved.

VIKKI CARR'S WONDERFUL VOICE MAKES HER A TRUE FAVORITE.
ALTHOUGH NOT KNOWLEDGABLE OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE, THIS SUPERB
COLLECTION IS SOMETHING YOU MUST HAVE! SHE IS BLESSED WITH THE POWER TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL.

This is a deal that can't be beat! Thirty (count'em 30!) of Vikki's best loved songs on two CD's! I was absolutely thrilled to get this one because it includes most of my favorites. Great songs such as: Total, Grande, Grande, Grande, Y Volvere, Paloma Negra (which I have heard Vikki sing a cappella - I get goosebumps just thinking about it!) Cosas del Amor
(duet with Ana Gabriel) and Dos Corazones (duet with Vicente Fernandez).
In my humble opinion, this is a collector's item for all Carr fans. I highly recommend this one!

She's one of the few crossover latin female singers that can sing
either in english or spanish without losing her charm and charis-
ma. As demonstrated in this collection of her 30 best songs. She
sang standards like "Por amor", "Hasta que vuelvas", "La nave del
olvido", "Y volvere" that were classic pop latin songs back in the 70's. As well as her hits from the 80's: "Disculpame", "Mala
suerte", "Ni princesa ni esclava" are very treasured in Latin America where she has been an idol for many years. Although some other greats are missing: "El pajaro herido", "Voy a esperar",
"Esta tarde vi llover" from her second spanish album from 1975
"Hoy (Today)". I hope that Vikki will keep entertaining us with her wonderful and unique voice. Viva Vikki Carr!
