CD ReviewsOne of the most distinctive voices in popular music Paul Tognetti | Cranston, RI USA | 05/14/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Billy Eckstine was legendary. He is one of those performers I wish I could have seen in person. His distinctive baritone voice made anything he sang extraordinary. This 2 CD set is one of the most well thought out and enjoyable collections I own. Billy Eckstine recorded for M-G-M between 1947 and 1954. Here you will find the original recordings of many of Billy's biggest solo hits as well as more jazz oriented tunes backed by Woody Herman's and George Shearing's groups. But I prefer the ballads, particularly 1950's "My Foolish Heart" and his signature song "I Apologize". Perhaps my favorite tune on the entire set is the final one. "Passing Strangers" is a duet he recorded with Sarah Vaughn back in 1957. This one will literally send chills up and down your spine. It is an extraordinary recording! There are 42 tracks in this collection and over two hours of recorded bliss. This is a great collection to "crash" with. The 24 page booklet is one of the best I've seen with extensive biographical information, rare photos and a short discography. This is a collection of timeless classics that you can enjoy for a lifetime. Highly recommended." The best male vocal album of all time macfawlty | potomac, MD USA | 12/02/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "I cannot say enough good about this album. I have over 2,500 jazz titles and this is my #1 favorite male vocal album of all time. Great male vocals are not as prolific as female as there just weren't as many singers, particularly great ones like Billy Eckstine. Often copied, he started a trend of copycats, although some of them were quite good, like Johnny Hartman and Earl Coleman. No one influenced jazz vocals quite like Eckstine who even had his own line of clothing. I saw him just before his death at Blues Alley on a very cold wintery night. There were only 12 or 15 people in the club... it was tragic, actually... someone so great and so popular. I appreciated him enough, however for a packed house and was grateful for the rare opportunity." It makes me feel young again ConnieGee | Acton, ME United States | 08/24/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "The first time I heard Billy Eckstine in person was in about 1950 in Boston at the RKO theatre. I had an album clutched in my arms just bought next door with most of these songs on it, not all. I didn't have the nerve to go backstage for an autograph on it at the age of 19, but now I can have his songs on CD, not that pretty used up 78 rpm which I treasure, but doesn't sound like a CD. He is getting the credit today for what he should have back then. Besides which he was sooo handsome. I adore Sinatra, but Billy is right up there. Bigger voice, softer personality, good jazz. Too bad it isn't on cassette for my car."
