3.0 out of 5 stars DINAH DESERVES MORE, September 1, 2001

This review is from: Rca: The Very Best of Dinah Shore (Audio CD)

This is certainly not the best overview of DINAH SHORE.While you get some hits,some of the songs(YES MY DARLING DAUGHTER,PERSONALITY)show their age and could have been easily subsitued by other songs far better that the singer recorded.It would be sad if your judgement of her should rely only with this quick package release because RCA is 100 years old.DINAH deserves better;she was a wonderful tv show hostess,full of charm and wit.I am old enough to remember the last years she had a show,and it was fun to hear beautiful songs of the repertoire sung by her.There are better collection like the RCA-COLUMBIA package,A PORTRAIT OF DINAH SHORE etc.You should find them easily;you just have to choose.

This review is from: Rca: The Very Best of Dinah Shore (Audio CD)

This collection of recordings from the beginning of Dinah Shore's career demonstrates that she was a mature, stylish artist from the very beginning. A few of the songs, such as I'll Walk Alone, are made more poignant by the reference to the war that was going on. On other numbers, Shore makes timeless statements, especially on the broadly amusing number, Personality. Part of the style on these recordings is attributable to the singers of the big band era, with whom Shore superficially has something in common. Nevertheless, she has a style which transcends its period and makes her one of the great song stylists of all time. A curiosity is that two of the numbers are attributed to orchestra leader Paul Wetstein, the birth name of the well known conductor Paul Weston. This CD is recommended to all connoisseurs of popular music.
