Billie Holiday Love Songs
Price - $11.98
Average Rating:

Culled from the Columbia Records reissue packages, variously released under the multivolume Quintessential Billie Holiday umbrella, this package goes straight for the love songs, the heart of Holiday. Ranging from such playful lyrics as "Let's Do It" and "Them There Eyes" to such essential Holiday as "You Go to My Head," "The Very Thought of You," and "Easy Living," this set is guaranteed to keep the home fires burning brightly.

Frank Sinatra Greatest Love Songs
Price - $13.99
Average Ratings:

The Sinatra who could more than convincingly offer that he had a crush on you is represented by this sweetly packaged 22-track collection. Often tender, occasionally enthusiastic, these selections skirt the bombast and self-parody the Chairman sometimes fell into on his own label. Popular classics like "Fly Me to the Moon" and "The Way You Look Tonight" are more than matched by keepers like the dramatically slowed Sinatra & Strings version of "Night and Day," the swinging dare of "Let's Fall in Love," and the elegiac 1961 take of "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You." -this is an exemplar of the Valentine-themed album.

There are many popular crooners who have graced record labels, such as Bing, Frank, Dino, and Perry, but Nat was THE KING for many. I was truely surprised at the wonderful remastering of his timely music. There will never be another one like him. He is UNFORGETABLE!!!! A DEFINATE FIVE STAR RECORDING!!!! From BK in MN

Songs from the Heart - Nat King Cole
Price - $14.99
Average Rating:

This immediately joined my Romantic Evening Hall of Fame, along with favorite recordings by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald and Antonio Carlos Jobin. This is a lovely compilation of some of Nat "King" Cole's hits, along with really pretty songs that I'd never heard before. I bought this for his recording of "Stay As Sweet As You Are" which is enchanting. This is a great album to put on the CD on a summer night and listen to while sitting on a porch swing with a glass of wine. From Ann Arbor, MI

The Voice of the Sparrow: The Very Best of Edith Paif
Price - $11.98
Average Rating:

The voice of Edith Piaf carries with it perhaps more national identity than that of any other recorded artist in the world. Tiny, frail, and tragic in her life, Piaf brought French identity to the rest of the world in a way that was understandable to all. Known as "the Little Sparrow" in her country, her voice was strong, bold, and passionate, even as she grew more infirm. The archetypical torch singer, she had massive popular success with songs like "Milord," "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien," and "La Vie, L'Amour," included here with 18 other classics. The work of one of the most original songbirds of all time speaks loud and clear for itself. From DR for Amazon.Com
