5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Still Having Fun And Its Still The One!, July 3, 2003

By	B. J O'Connor "noonions" (Holmdel,NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had this disc since 1993 and it still an entertaining,relaxing piece of nostalgia today."Super Hits Of The 70's:Have A Nice Day Vol.19" is an amazing recap of the softer side of 1977,featuring such super-guilty-pleasures like Mary MacGregor's "Torn Between Two Lovers",former Guess Who frontman's Burton Cummings "Stand Tall","Starksy And Hutch" actor David Soul's "Don't Give Up On Us",Andrew Gold's "Lonely Boy",Kenny Nolan's "I Like Dreamin",and Alan O'Day's oh-so-70's "Undercover Angel" along with likable,upbeat soft-rockers like Orleans "Still The One",Climax Blues Band's "Couldn't Get It Right" and 10cc's "The Things We Do For Love".The catchy TV jingle(David Dundas's "Jeans On")and the ubiquitous "Rocky" theme(Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now")provide contrast to the sweet,sentimental pop of the rest of the set,but for the most part,HANY Vol.19 captures the 70's at its sappiest,which means it's completly successful in its goals.(By the way,all these songs made the Top 20,10 of which made the Top 10,and 4 of which made it all the way to No.1!)

5.0 out of 5 stars May be the best of the mid-70s volumes, June 29, 2000

By	John A. Kuczma "RogueUlfric" (Marietta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Volume 19 of the "Have a Nice Day" series has a decidedly gentle sound to it, concentrating on ballads like Mary MacGregor's "Torn Between Two Lovers" and David Soul's maudlin "Don't Give Up On Us, Baby" to more middle-of-the-road but still melodic cuts like Orlean's "Still the One" and 10cc's excellent "The Things We Do for Love." The disc also includes the near-instrumental "Gonna Fly Now", theme from the decade's most prolific sequel producing movie, Rocky.

There isn't much profound thought or social commentary in these songs, just a lot of good music and fond memories. This one's a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rating 100%, May 30, 2004

By	radiogold "radiogold" (Sydney Australia) - See all my reviews

A continuation of the "Have a Nice Day" CD series, Volume 19 is another truck load of hits. This Volume seems to contain a bunch of tracks from the 1977 era. Do you remember what you were doing back then??

All of the CD's in this series contain extensive sleeve notes on all the tracks with release dates. There's that radio classic which I think we've all heard a thousand times?.. 10CC's "the things we do for love". This volume has a number of tracks that have been released on CD for the first time. What about Burton Cummings "stand tall". Other tracks include the original Rocky theme, Orleans "still the one", Mary MacGregor's "Torn between two lovers", Adam O day's "undercover angel", Andrew Gold's "lonely boy" and a few tracks I've never really heard of. But for the songs I've listed, certainly make this disc worthwhile
