5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best..........................., March 27, 2002

One of the best singers of our lifetime who continues to prove that she's still at the top of her form is Rosemary Clooney. She makes any song sound beautiful by putting her heart and soul into the lyrics. It's always a pleasure to listen to her voice, it's so relaxing and soothing. This has got to be one of her best CD collections of songs in her many years of recording with the Concord label. I've collected all of her music over the years, and feel this is an instant classic. My all time favorite album is "Demi-Centennial". No one can sing these songs like Rosemary. Of course, my favorite song on this new CD is "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe". Only one other performer sings it as beautiful as Rosemary and that's the one and only Judy Garland. Oh, what a fantasy and dream come true it would be if Rosemary & Judy could have done a duet of this song together when Judy was still with us. And Rosemary sounds terrific on "They Can't Take That Away From Me." These big band arrangements with Big Kahuna are a return to the styling Rosemary's so well known for. Enjoy these wonderful songs by Rosemary. I know I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars AT THE TOP OF HER FORM !, December 31, 2001

No, Rosemary Clooney can not hold extended notes as long or as well as she could in the 1950's. Time has caught up with this great, great "big band singer." And all I can say is: she's even better than she was!

Every lyric in every song is given its due; here is a woman who has lived enough lives for 10 other mere mortals. She has lost none of her warmth, her joy of singing, her intelligence, or her taste. She is at the top of her form and for me that's cause to rejoice. After all, there's another terrific CD that Rosie has recorded and that we can play to bring us sheer happiness.

She is a national treasure and in the words of one of the songs on this CD: "In this world of over-rated pleasures and under-rated treasures, I'm glad there is you." HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROSIE WILL DEFINITELY BE MISSED, July 1, 2002

Like all other Rosemary Clooney fans, I was deeply saddened over the weekend when I put the radio on & one of the headline news stories mentioned her passing after a battle with lung cancer. I feel as if I've lost a good friend & now I find myself pulling out just about all of her albums(due in part to the fact that there is no longer any NY radio station that plays American Popular Standards). Hopefully sometime in the near future we will see more collections(especially boxed sets)of even more of Rosie's wonderful music. Let's not forget come Christmas time to watch the classic film White Christmas-it will have even more meaning this year. Rest In Peace, old friend, I am sure you are having a blast up there with your sister Betty, as well as dear friends like Bing, Frank, Dean, Perry & many others of their ilk. Heaven must have one helluva chorus, especially with the addition of latest member, Rosemary Clooney. This music MUST be collected & preserved, so whether you've been a fan for many years or just discovering Rosie's music, at least you can take heart in knowing there is a huge treasure trove of music to choose from. Very highly recommended!
