Great Gogi Grant, April 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Torch Time (Audio CD)
Gogi Grant's four RCA albums are outstanding in musical selection, arrangements, production and presentation. And Gogi Grant is all you could ask from a popular singer, with a gorgeous voice, perfect diction, dramatic interpretation and faultless musicality. This most welcome C.D. includes all of Miss Grant's finest RCA album, "Torch Time," plus eight tracks from other RCA albums. It's all beautifully remastered and faultlessly presented. This music certainly has passed the test of time. It's a thrilling today as when it first was issued. For some reason, Gogi Grant has become a footnote in musical history. But that's all wrong. She released consistently topnotch recordings and she sold a ton of records for Era and RCA. She should be counted among the major stars.

A great album, April 15, 2002
This review is from: Torch Time (Audio CD)
I can only echo "A Music Fan's' sentiments. This is a fine compilation of Grant's work-- torchy, articulate & brilliantly performed. Very quietly her albums are finally being re-released, and they're very welcome. She definitely deserves more recognition.

Splendid Songstress at her very best!, January 24, 2005
This review is from: Torch Time (Audio CD)
Gogi Grant is very simply one of the finest singers of this century! Just listen to her brilliant interpretation of "Young and Foolish." It takes my breath away! Or her superb rendition of "Lover Come Back To Me." Glorious Gogi has not only the perfect technique, but the emotional intensity, reaching deep within herself for phenomenal dramatic readings of old standards. We've heard these before, but not like this! "How Deep Is The Ocean?" No deeper than Gogi Grant herself. Her performance of "Summertime" ranks right up there with the best. Never a false note or feeling in this, one of her finest offerings. This is a "must have" CD.
