Great, but...
05/04/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a very important documentary of arguably the greatest singer of the twentieth century. The interviewer and Mr. Vickers touch on fabulous anecdotes and background information, which is a priceless treasure. The collection of recording excerpts is a tantalyzing overview of Mr. Vickers' amazing repetoire, but couldn't they be just a little less "clipped"? In other words, the only drawback to this cd is that a little more balance in favour of the music would have made it perfect. As it is, this is a welcome addition to my music library."
