5.0 out of 5 stars A great CD!, October 18, 2000

This review is from: Unforgettable Vikki Carr (Audio CD)

This is one of the better "greatest hits" CDs I've heard in a long time. But best of all, I can finally hear "Only Love Can Break a Heart" and "Walk Away" again after years of waiting. I have never understood why those two songs were not included on an album early in Vikki's career, but now everyone can fall in love with them as I did over 25 years ago. Plus, now I can throw out my old 8-tracks that I couldn't play but kept just for those two songs. This is a great CD and a wonderful tribute to Vikki's early career.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNFORGETTABLE AND FOREVER THE GREATEST, August 19, 2000

This review is from: Unforgettable Vikki Carr (Audio CD)

If you are looking for the perfect singer and the perfect CD...this is it! A wonderful compilation of songs from a vocalist who doesn't just sing with her voice, but always with her heart...you don't just hear the songs this woman sings - YOU FEEL THEM. In this CD you will hear the studio recorded version of "With Pen In Hand" and you know what? It still breaks your heart to pieces. No one has ever, or will ever come close in doing what she can do to someone's heart...it's simply magic! She touches you like no one else ever could...and once it happens, you are hooked! FOREVER!!! For...ETERNITY...

This review is from: Unforgettable Vikki Carr (Audio CD)

The Unforgettable Vikki Carr is far from being an album geared toward just fans of Vikki Carr. Vikki can take a song and make it into a masterpiece with her remarkable timing, diction and beautiful vocal talents. The artwork for this CD is terrific; and the sound quality is excellent, too.

The track set starts with Vikki singing "He's A Rebel;" Vikki aces this effortlessly and I love it! The musical arrangement is full of energy and Vikki delivers this with all her might--wow, what a great song to begin this fine album! "Only Love Can Break A Heart" is a cover of Gene Pitney's famous song; but when Vikki sings this she can still make it all her own with her fantastic delivery. Vikki sings "Only Love Can Break A Heart" with great sensitivity and it shows when you listen to this track.

"Bye Bye Blackbird" was always one of my favorite songs; and Vikki's timing is superlative. I predict that you will enjoy "Bye Bye Blackbird" very much; and the big band arrangement works wonders for this tune, too. "Unforgettable" is a cover of the great Nat King Cole's signature song; Vikki and the backup chorus work to make this a new and fresh masterpiece all over again. Listen also for "With pen In Hand;" this incredibly huge hit for Vikki stuns me with its beauty and I love hearing this over and over again.

"By The Time I Get To Phoenix" again places Vikki front and center; and she never sings a superfluous note! "Never My Love" is equally stunning; Vikki's excellent diction once again makes for a flawless delivery of this beautiful ballad. There's also "Yesterday When I Was Young." "Yesterday When I Was Young" showcases Vikki's vocal prowess and she bats this straight out of the ballpark! "Yesterday When I Was Young" is truly a major highlight of this CD.

"If You Love Me (I Won't Care)" is a cover of a ballad made famous by the immortal Edith Piaf--Piaf would be proud of Vikki Carr's performance here! "Poor Butterfly" is another pretty melody; and the CD ends very strong with Vikki singing "Everything I Touch Turns To Tears." This passionate number makes a solid ending for this album. Vikki just never sounded better!

Naturally, Vikki Carr fans will want this for their collections; but people who enjoy classic pop vocals will not be disappointed either.

Bravo, Vikki Carr!
