5.0 out of 5 stars A Gem!!!!!, January 14, 2002

If you enjoy Spiritual Songs that make you feel good without preaching, this is for you. Two
spectacular vocalists backed up by a flawless orchestra sing
vocal harmonies as no other male/female combination I've ever heard. Like the Everly Brothers, they also blend like they've been singing together all their lives. The album opens with perhaps their most famous duet, 'Whispering Hope' which was a hit
for them and simply beautiful music. 'Abide With Me' follows and
has a beautiful sadness to it. Next, 'In The Garden' continues to express the joys of believing in a life hereafter. So many other great versions of classic Gospel songs, 'Beyond The Sunset, 'Beautifull Isle of Somewhere', the somber yet beautiful
'Now the Day is Over',abound. This album contains all the Spititual songs they recorded together. I have about another ten songs they recorded, most of which are of the same high standard as these tracks. I'd love to hear all the songs they recorded. This CD is recommended for anyone who loves great vocal harmonizing, cause these two fine vocalists do it as good as anyone I know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not overdone - SIMPLY beautiful, August 23, 2006

Wonderful harmony - full orchestra background with nice touches of piano. Their voices blend perfectly and they just SING the songs, so you can tell what they are saying, and can sing along.
