4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding vocalese from Marilyn Maye, May 24, 2001

By	Darryl Geddes (Syracuse, NY) - See all my reviews

Two 1960s-produced albums from songbird Marilyn Mae are available on CD so that everyone can now enjoy this radiant voice. Maye confounds listeners with her style, sounding at times like the full-throated brassiness of Eyde Gorme or the smokey-hued vocals of a latter-day Liza. She offers up a spirited Take Five, the Dave Brubeck hit, a romance-filled Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars, and does a Louis Armstrong imitation on the overdone showstopper Helly Dolly, but she makes it listenable. There are other super song selections on this album, including David Shire's Washington Square delivered with the sparest of backings. Maye is still performing and these albums show why that is.

5.0 out of 5 stars marvelous, indeed!, May 12, 2001

By A Customer

I never thought I'd see the day...Thanks once again to the great people at Collectables for this long-overdue reissue of two fantastic Marilyn Maye albums--her first for RCA from 1965, and her third from a year later. Dare we hope for more? I hope this sells, and people rediscover a wonderful singer who knew how to pick wonderful material.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a treat!, May 23, 2001

By A Customer

What a treat to have Marilyn Maye's wonderful sound on CD! Her first album demonstrates her varied talent to take on any song style. An excellent singer that sings naturally from the heart. I have followed her through the years and am so glad that others may have the chance to rediscover such an outstanding entertainer.
