5.0 out of 5 stars
This is the BEST CD EVER!, November 18, 2006
This review is from: Songs of My Life (Audio CD)
The Songs of my life CD represents the ESSENCE of Ruth Brown. The past, present and future. The title song, "Songs of my life" says it all. This song will speak volumes to the heart and soul of every man and woman.
Enjoy
Sandra

3.0 out of 5 stars
More pop than R&B, February 21, 2001
This review is from: Songs of My Life (Audio CD)
I have rated this a 3 only in comparson with Ruth's other albums. If I was comparing it to most music available it would probably get a 4.
"Tears from Heaven" the Eric Clapton tune is the absolute standout of this album. When Ruth, at 70, sings this song with all of the history she has seen, friends and family she has lost, you would have to be made of stone not to be introspective and think of your own life and loss.
"I've got the world on a string" is a fun rollicking song that she should have recorded long ago. She makes it her own.
Most of the rest of the album is fine..but too pop to be Ruth.
If you are buying your first Ruth Brown album...I would choose R&B = Ruth Brown...but if you like Ruth...you'll like the album.
