5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent cd of great songs from a great singer !
By A Customer on June 4, 1999
Format: Audio CD
Most people probably recognize Anita Bryant more for her 1970's orange juice commercials on t.v. and for her outspokenness on the subject of gay rights, but most folks who know Anita for only those two things are really missing out on Anita's great voice. Anita had several hits in the early 1960's-"Paper Roses", "Till There Was You", "My Little Corner of the World", etc. Those are 3 fine songs and Anita's versions are the best. Also here are standouts such as "Pretty Lies", "The World of Lonely People", "Cold, Cold Winter" "The Unopened Letter" and the plum silly "Sleepin' at the Foot of the Bed". Then there's the lovely "The Wedding ( La Novia)" and "Step by Step, Little by Little". Anita Bryant had a great voice like Patsy Cline, and like Patsy recorded some darn good songs! This is a great cd. it wolud have benefited from the inclusion of a few more songs. Anita 's music is romantic and swings!

5.0 out of 5 starsI may not like her politics but boy, I love her music
By Wilfredo C. Derequito on January 24, 2000
Format: Audio CD
In this album, Anita Bryant takes us back to the days when life was simpler and songs were still meant to be sung. What better way to celebrate and trek back to that golden age than through her songs. Paper Roses, My Little Corner of the World, The Wedding, Pretty Lies, The Unopened Letter...these are just some of the gems awaiting the listeners.

Unfortunately for Anita Bryant, looks like as an artist, she's being judged - and crucified - not for her music but for her politics! And it's just plain unfair.

It appears quite obvious that many reviewers give Anita Bryant negative ratings not because her performance is mediocre or falls short of their expectation but rather because, well, they disagree with her political beliefs! Jeez, where does it say in the U.S. Constitution, or in the constitution of any other nation on earth for that matter, that an artist must be politically correct before she could be considered a good artist?

If an artist must always be on good behavior before she could truly be appreciated as an artist, then Ludwig van Beethoven, sour, choleric and insufferable that he was, should not even have merited a second's attention in the music world.

I consider myself a liberal and I just strongly disagree with Ms. Bryant's politics which borders on bigotry no matter how I look at it. But, hey, do I have to be in agreement with her political leanings before I could start appreciating her as an artist? I just don't see the connection. I surely would hate it if, say, Barbra Streisand, an artist I so greatly admire - and whose politics I agree with, by the way - is given bad ratings by reviewers from the conservative right simply because of her liberal political leaning. Why, that would be Anita Bryant's case in reverse!Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsWhose "Golden Classics?"
By George O'Leary TOP 500 REVIEWER on August 31, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Anita Bryant had exactly 11 Billboard Pop Hot 100 single hits, one of which also made the Adult Contemporary (AC) charts and, in a 14-selection compilation entitled "Golden Classics", Collectables manages to give us all of 4. Well actually 5 if you count Step By Step, Little By Little which was a Hot 100 Bubble Under at # 106 in 1962. Now, I suppose one could be charitable and say that the title reflects, not necessarily ANITA'S golden classics, but rather a mix of hers and others. After all, The Wedding, Free, A-Sleepin' At The Foot Of The Bed, Cold, Cold Winter, and God Bless America were solid hits for other artists. But then you get tracks 5, 10, and 12 which were "classics" for no one that I know of, least of all Anita. Hurry Home To Me (track 11) was a minor # 47 Country in 1970 for Bobby Wright.

Her 4 legitimate hits included are: Till There Was You from the Broadway musical The Music Man - # 30 Hot 100 in late summer 1959, Paper Roses - # 5 Hot 100 in May 1960, In My Little Corner Of The World - # 10 Hot 100 in August 1960, The World Of Lonely People - # 17 AC/# 59 Hot 100 in June 1964. With the exception of the last, which came on the Columbia label, the others were all released by Carlton.

If they wanted to convey HER "golden classics" they would have included Six Boys And Seven Girls (# 62 in 1959); Promise Me A Rose (A Slight Detail) (# 78 in 1959) and its flipside, Do-Re-Mi (# 94), One Of The Lucky Ones (# 62 in 1960), Wonderland By Night (# 18 in 1961), A Texan And A Girl From Mexico (# 85 in 1961), I Can't Do It By Myself (# 87 in 1961), and perhaps her other Bubble Under" - 1964's Welcome, Welcome Home (# 130). With one exception, not great hits by any definition, but at least they are all hers.

The sound quality is decent enough and it does come with liner notes written by Mark Marymont, so if all you're seeking is a sampling of her musical style I suppose it rates 3 and a half stars.

While probably better remember for her political and personal views and beliefs Bryant could carry a tune. Most of her hits would later be hits for Marie Osmond.

3.0 out of 5 starsWhite Bread Delux
By Gary F. Taylor HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 21, 2015
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Born in 1940, Anita Byrant began singing as a child, and she launched her career by winning the title of Miss Oklahoma in 1958. Although she would record well into the 1970s, her most successful single came early in her career with “Paper Roses,” which went to number five in the Top Forty in 1960. Bryant built her career on being a patriotic and Christian American, and in 1969 she found her true niche when she became a product spokeswoman for The Florida Citrus Commission. An entire generation grew up hearing Bryant singing “Come To The Florida Sunshine Tree” and declaring that “a day without orange juice is a day without sunshine!”

Bryant’s success arose in part because many white Americans felt frazzled by rock and roll of the 1950s and 1960s and turned to what can only be described as “white bread” girl singers. Some of these singers were quite gifted—Teresa Brewer, Leslie Gore, and Patti Page to name but three—but many were less gifted than safe. At times, Bryant’s voice recalls Patsy Cline, particularly with “Paper Roses;” at times she seems to echo Peggy Lee (“The Wedding.”) With a few exceptions, her material is somewhat weak, often sounding rather like a throw-away Doris Day might have recorded as a theme song for one of her popular 1960s comedies (“Not a Child Any More” is a good example.) Whatever the case, it’s obvious that Bryant never really found her own sound.

It is a pity she didn’t, for if she had, she might have been satisfied in her career and not drifted into the role of political agitator. Bryant’s image was that of a very patriotic, very Christian woman, and as early as 1969 she had denounced the vulgarity of popular music acts.Read more ›
