Editorial Reviews

Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.

You’ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contains a nice hidden gem!, April 28, 2011

This album contains a surprise that no "Editorial Reviews" or even the track titles indicate -- the version of "Falling in Love (Uh-Oh)" is the "Single" version. Many such as myself have been looking for this version for quite awhile. I first heard through the muzak of a Panda Express restaurant. It is markedly different -- I actually thought I was hearing a "mono" version. I then heard it again on 181.fm and realized it was indeed a different version of the song. Thus far it has only been available on a hard to find vinyl pressing from the time of the song's original release back in the 80's. The only clue to this single versions inclusion (other than hearing the album itself) is the indicated length - 3:09. The original version that most are familiar with is just roughly over 4 minutes. It is a bit difficult to hear the difference while listening to the Amazon sample (although purists will immediately hear the difference), but a full listen will be quite a change for those who know and love the regular version.

Throughout her career, Gloria Estefan has produced music with a pulsing, driving, full-brass and percussion sound that enhances the fine vocal work she does. This CD is a selection of some her best songs across a range of styles -- from ballads to the exciting high energy music which so enlivens her performances. For the Gloria Estefan fan, this is a must-have in one's collection.
