5.0 out of 5 stars This is THE Definitive Randy Crawford Album to own, March 25, 2002

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

I don't need to sell you on the exquisite voice and talent Randy Crawford has; but if there is one Randy Crawford CD you should own, this is it, it has the best of her very best, 18 defining tracks, no major omissions like I've seen complained about. One track, "I've Never Been to Me" is so powerful and emotional, you're going to get a lump in your throat, I swear (and I'm just a regular guy)-- it's that good.
It's an import, and it's a few bucks more, but it's well worth it. This is the first review I've written, but you need to know how brilliant this album is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Under rated American soul singer, September 23, 2005

This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)

Randy (born Veronica Crawford) is a brilliant American soul singer who had a UK top five hit (Street life) as un-credited vocalist with the Crusaders in 1973, then had two UK top five hits (One day I'll fly away, Almaz) in the eighties as a solo singer. Randy never achieved this level of success in her homeland.

Apart from those three major hits, Randy had two other UK top twenty hits (You might need somebody, Rainy night in Georgia) and several minor hits, three of which (Imagine, Secret combination, One hello) are included here. Most of the songs here are originals but, with her outstanding voice, Randy is a great interpreter of other people's songs, as this collection shows.

This collection truly is the very best of Randy Crawford, one of the finest soul singers there has ever been.
