Voice of an angel . . .

"As far as I am concerned, the young Jane Powell had the voice of an angel. These recordings almost move one to tears. I had not heard them in many years. Where are voices like this now? Are there any? Does anyone look for them . . . If they are found, does anyone give a damn?The sound on this CD is clear and warm . . . for once they (?) didn't monkey around with the sound as was done with the recent Rosemary Clooney CD of White Christmas and Red Garters.I played the album for some friends of mine . . . all in their early 40's and they were spellbound. We're just not used to this stuff."

The Superb Jane Powell

"A wonderous musical experience. Nowhere have I heard a suprano voice so beautifully exercised, modulated, and controlled. Most of these songs were new to me, but I listened enraptured. Such phrasing, diction, inflection, and hitting those high notes accurately and without hesitation. Her vocal control and timbre are truly suberb. The selections couldn't have been better chosen to display Jane's beautiful voice."

Voice of an angel

"Jane Powell has the voice of an angel, the personality of an angel to go with it. Seeing her in action was the best entertainment one could hope to go see. Her dancing was energized and never did she miss a beat. Her acting was great. I wish more of her work was on DVD, especially her movies, and any of the plays from Broadway. Do yourself a favor buy this album, and learn to hear what a real soprano sounds like. I love her and would recommend anything she has done. Jane's mark is quite unique. A powerhouse of sound like none other"
