5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Compilation, October 31, 2009

By 

Reno Baldomero "Chris" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Swing Slow & Cha Cha Cha (Audio CD)

Okay, let me first make something clear: this is not a two-fer of "Swing Slow" and "Cha Cha Cha". Della never recorded an album by the name of "Swing Slow" (although she did record an album of standards set to a Cha Cha beat in 1961), but it's a German compilation that happens to include songs that are "Slow", "Swing", and "Cha Cha Cha". This compilation is comprised entirely of tracks she recorded for RCA Victor between 1959 and 1964. This was her most successful period, and this is the only collection that includes all of her big hits from that period. From "Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)", to "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey", to her third million-seller, and big hit "Not One Minute More", and her biggest hit "Don't You Know". During this period she flourished, and she mastered every genre with startling ease. From blues to jazz to pop and soul. This compilation includes a couple of extremely rare songs such as "When a Woman Loves a Man" and "There's Nothing Like a Boy", which is the b-side to the hit "And Now", and a very pretty song. All in all, this is by far the best and most comprehensive collection available. Leave to a foreign division to give an AMERICAN icon the treatment she deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars SERENADED BY AN ANGEL...., February 6, 2003

This review is from: Swing Slow & Cha Cha Cha (Audio CD)

This is a great combo of two albums by Della that works well together. "Swing Slow" is a group of standards given Della's touch that will keep you entranced. And "Cha-Cha-Cha" is just that---standards set to cha-cha-cha. Lots of fun and great listening. Her version of "Whatever Lola Wants" cha-cha is steamy and sexy. If you like Della Reese then this is for you. It's a collectors' item and a great reminder that the star of "Touched By An Angel" was (and still is I hope) a great American vocalist with no fear of expressing herself. This CD is a wonderful vintage example.
