Any fan of musical theater and Elaine Paige will recognize favorite songs from the shows she has starred in and songs from shows she wishes she had starred in. As always Elaine delivers a five star performance. If you plan to buy only one Elaine Paige CD, this is the one to buy!

"Sweet Memories" is brilliant, showcasing the marvelous voice of an extraordinary performer. After forty years of "celebrityhood", Ms. Paige has never sounded better. Not only is she beautiful to look at, her voice is as rich and clear today as ever. Bravo for a fantastic trip down memory lane... Every song is a dream. Thank you Elaine!

This is a fantastic CD. Her "belt" voice or her "soft" voice is right on. The tone and emotion that she gives each song is perfect. She is an incomparable singer and performer. This is a must CD for those that love to listen to the voice and range of Elaine Paige.

I was previously unaware of this performer. While watching a story about Susan Boyle on TV, she was asked what her dream was...and she replied it was to sing a duet with Elaine Paige. The duet was stunning and so I immediatley ordered 2 CD's by her; this being one of them. The passion, clarity, and emotion with which she delivers her nuanced perfomances is overshadowed only by her intense undestanding of the lyrics. Included are several tracks from the musical Piaf and her french is impeccable---clearly showing that she knows what she is singing about. The CD includes some older songs like Les Trois Cloches and Windmills of Your Mind...as well as relatively more current fare like Perfect Year from Sunset Boulevard and a particularly haunting rendition of Unchained Melody. Each and every track is a gem and I wholeheartedly recommend this CD to all fans of musical theater-as well as to those who just know how to appreciate a singer with a marvelous voice. She is one of those rare performers---a la Liza, Strreisand and Betty Buckley, who can really interpret a song and make it their own. This is a must-have CD from a brand new fan!

This album does what it promises, i.e., showcasing Elaine Paige's immense repertoire, developed over a lengthy career in London. Perhaps unknown to many on this side of the Atlantic until Scotland's Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent introduced her own amazing voice by saying she aspired to a career like Elaine's, this album is a great way to get acquainted with Elaine's talent. I've also ordered Susan Boyle's debut album I Dreamed A Dream and salute Nana Mouskouri The Romance of Nana Mouskouri as another world diva whose amazing voice and multi-lingual song stylings deserve a fan base here in the U.S. Sweet Memories is a wonderful addition to any music library.

This double cd is an outstanding collection of classic standards and theatrical gems by a truly great popular singer. The collection itself is magnificent and Elaine Page blows Barbra Streisand and other American divas right out of the water.Her great voice and her unaffected intepretation of a perfect collection is a real treat.

I heard samples of the songs in the amazon page, and I liked most of them, now that i have listened to them several ties, I love this album !!!. She is an extraordinary singer.

You will enjoy this Cd. She has a very good voice and love the selection of songs.

The music CD was delivered promptly, in excellent condition. Ms Paige's singing is as good as I had been expecting. I can see why Susan Boyle chose her as the model for her own career.

One of my favorites in my Bose she sings great and you should all have at least one of her CD's...kevin
