Price: $9.97
Customer Review:
Unfortunately, I have ordered this CD after some favorable review.
I cannot believe this horrid concoction could be rated appealing. You better listen to the original recordings (I certainly will) instead of volunteering for a nauseating treatment from the mindless machine jamming that... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

by Billie Holiday
Price: $11.98
Customer Review:
This one is a must-have if you want to assemble a top-flight Billie Holiday collection. All the recordings were made between 1935-1942 when her perfect natural voice was still like a bell, and her musical instincts were in full bloom. Unlike her later recordings, there is no sign of the sad toll her... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

by Billie Holiday
Price: $10.99
Customer Review:
The first time I heard Billie Holiday's voice was when my parents were visiting friends. I looked over their record collection and asked if I might play this Billie Holiday one. (I had never heard of her.) From the first song to the last, I was crazy about her. The cut called "You're My Thrill" was... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

by Etta James
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
As a huge Etta fan, I was terribly disappointed with this CD. Etta had either lost her voice by the time she recorded this album or was suffering from something that was significantly affecting her voice. It also sounds like she's singing on a key that is not her own. Finally, the arrangements sound... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 17. |  | Billie Holiday - Greatest Hits (Sony)
by Billie Holiday
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
There are only 13 cuts on this CD--but what a great set of cuts they are! Billie Holiday was a star-crossed talent. But her talent was real, and this CD provides concrete evidence of that. Some of her best works are included, although 13 cuts cannot possibly do justice to her complete oeuvre.more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 18. |  | The Essential Bessie Smith
by Bessie Smith
Price: $14.97
Customer Review:
These songs were instrumental in the rise of rock and roll. This lady really sang the blues the way they were meant to be sung. I was a young woman in the fifties and recall many good songs and many talented entertainers. I prefer the older songs, but there have been some good music from each decade... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
