This CD is truly sensational and long awaited for a Compilation that highlights Debby's outstanding Christian Albums from the 80's And of course the US No.1 `Smash hit' title track from 1977. Here in the UK it only reached No.48!!

As a young Christian then, the Songs inspired me when I first heard them from the relative albums they came from Notably `With My Song', `Choose Life' and `Friends for Life'. Now, some years later they still do!

What comes across for each song is that they are contemporary ballads and upbeat, in particular `Choose life' with striking lyrics of the Choice in the Gospel message.

Thanks to the compiler, each track has been chosen diligently, so on reflection this new CD does not stick to a particular style of music. But positively inspirational and uplifting.

What's more is that all the tracks on this CD are original recordings. The Lyrics are enclosed in the booklet.

Debby Boone has a gifted voice that clearly comes across on these tracks. This compilation is a must for Debby Boone fans, particularly if you do not have these tracks on CD already.

This release is welcomed by fans of Debbys' numerous inspirational albums. This is a good cross-section of those recordings. It contains key Boone recordings including "can you reach my friend", "choose life", "sweet adoration", "name above all names", and "with my song". After being named grammys best new artist she went on to win 2 more GRAMMYS for her inspirational albums "with my song" and "surrender". Her voice is soothing and inspiring and can truly stir the soul....

Debby Boone has one of the most beautiful voices in the music industry. The only reason I got this CD was because it has a couple of songs from her "With My Song" album I purchased in 1980. THAT album is her best Christian album in my opinion. I would love to see the "With My Song" album in CD format...

This is a great collection of Debby's great Contemporary Christian recordings! As another reviewer indicated Debby did win 2 more Grammys after her "Best New Artist" Grammy in 1978 so she definetly wasn't a one trick pony. This CD shows why she was deserving of these Grammys. This would have been better if it had included "O Come All Ye Faithful", "Lift Him Up", "Song Of Deliverance", & "Delight In Him" but still a great collection nonetheless! Great companion CD to her "Reflections" CD released about 10 years ago!

Debbie's best album brought me back to my college years. But she still has the ability of causing you chills of emotions as you can still hear her voice and think of the beautiful girls I had the opportunity to date while listening to her music. You never cease to be young and romantic while your heart is enchanted by the sweet magic of her voice.

This CD sounded better over the Internet than it does on an actual disk. Can You Reach My Friend is nice, but I bought it because I wanted to listen to You Light Up My Life. Debby has a much more lively version on her Greatest Hit CD recorded when she was younger. You might want to get that CD instead if you're looking forward to listen to You Light Up My Life.

Yeah wife's Christmas present. Hopefully I won't be in the car when she play Ms. Boone
