These two classic albums were among Jean's classiest and most gorgeous albums ever. "All I Really Need Is You", "Mystic Stranger", "Don't Say No To Love", "Start The Fire" and Jean's amazing cover version of the Spinners' classic "Love Don't Love Nobody" are your reasons for buying this great CD. While Jean never enjoyed the commercial success and strong record sales she so richly deserved these two albums offer irrefutable proof of her amazing and enormous talent.

This is a sizzling love affair. Jazz, r&b and opera are all incorporated in this lovely affair. I love me some Jean Carne.
I don't understand why people are so damn stoooooooopid! These two showcases her creamy vocals but her outstanding range as well. Miss Girl sounds better than them American Idol people.
"When I Find You Love" album is such a gorgeous affair. Title track is off da hook. My song is "Start The Fire". Miss Girl's got me going with Keep it Burning! "Lonely Girl In A Cold Cold World" is so funky!

Sweet And Wonderful showcased her sassiness. From "Bet Your Lucky Star", to the end, it is simply beautiful. I enjoy "We Got Some Catchin' Up To Do"!

Bottom line is: Cop dis!

Jean Carn possesses one of the most beautiful voices of our age...wonderfully expressive and flexible...crystal clear and strong. To have these two albums, from the artist's later tenure on the PIR label, on one cd is truly a gift. The Gamble and Huff/Philly organization gave these efforts their all...and Jean Carn added her unmistakeable, considerable talent to make it a totally personal statement. STAND-OUTS: "When I Find You Love," "My Love Don't Come Easy," "All I Really Need Is You," [where Philly sound meets the Carpenters, with stunning results), "Lonely Girl in A Cold, Cold World," "Was That All It Was," [a huge club hit in '79-'80], "Don't Say No to Love," [an incredibly beautiful ballad with a very beautiful vocal], her version of the Spinners' "Love Don't Love Nobody" [a major r&b classic featuring a Grammy-worthy vocal], "We Got Some Catching Up to Do," "Mystic Stranger," and the churchy-pop of "I Just Thought of A Way." "Start The Fire," bears one of Ms. Carn's most incredible, "gymnastic" vocal performances, guaranteed to knock your socks off (if you were wearing socks to begin with!). The remaining songs and performances are strong. Highly recommended, especially for WHEN I FIND YOU LOVE.

These were Jean's 1979 and 1981 PIR albums and she gives some of her most beautiful and breathtaking performances on songs like "Mystic Stranger", "Was That All It Was?", "Don't Say No To Love", "All I Really Need Is You", "Intro/ My Love Don't Come Easy", "Love Don't Love Nobody" and "When I Find You Love". Incredibly, these two albums' sales figures and chart placings were very poor- they are, however, excellent albums. Like the late Phyllis Hyman and Angela Bofill, Jean Carne was too good a singer for mainstream record buyers and radio to appreciate.

great music every track 5 stars jean carn should be a star she deserves more attention in the music industr than she received. some of the best music i have bought in the past 25 years. jean carn really brings it home on these two albums she really does since i bought this cd i haven`t listened to anythjing else. thank you jean. very insrirational bordering on heavenly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been patiently waiting for years for Jean Carn's CD's to be re-released and re-mastered. The wait is over and I'm in heaven. The re-master was done well. Her voice is as rich and as beautiful as ever.

Buy this CD. I promise you that you won't be disappointed. Thank you Amazon for making it available to me. The shipping was excellent. I'll be looking for more of MY FAVORITES in the coming months and years. I always look to amazon first.

I used to own the albums. If you love really great singing then these are the CDs for You. If you love a great blend of jazz and female vocal singing then these are the CDs for you. I already own these particular CDs but decided to gift these to a family friend for Christmas. You won't believe the style and depth of her singing and her range is incredible. They don't make music like this anymore.

"When I Find You Love" show Jean Carn at the Top of her game. This is ONE of her very BEST if not her Best. I'm VERY PLEASED with this CD.

Two for one and my two favorites! Love it, love it. Gamble and Huff were never better during these years and Jean got the benefit like so many other Philly Int. artists..
