Joni Jame Platinum and Gold hits

"This album is a misrepresentation. Only 4 selections are gold hits.Since I have all her songs and albums. The rest of her selections on the CD are from obscure recordings of hits done by other people. It is too bad all her good orginal hits are not on the CD."

No superlative does justice to Joni's rendition of ANY song

"As a fan of Joni James from the beginning, and having been a musician myself during those years, there has never been, nor is there now, nor will there ever be, a voice so superior in rendering ANY ballad that has been or ever will be written. How Joni's stupendous musical vocal accomplishments in the field of pop music have gone relatively unnoticed down through the years is one of the top 5 "shames" of the 20th century. This album's 5-star rating is an understatement. Her entire musical career was a 5-star rating, and it is more the pity that that career was vastly neglected by publicists who gave far lesser vocalists media spotlighting that she, on the other hand, truely warranted."

Very Good But .....

"A very good collection would have been even better if so many of Joni's Top 30 hits had not been omitted. The CD opens with her first smash hit, "Why Don't You Believe Me?" which again reminds us why Ms. James made such a impact upon the music scene in the Early 50s."
