EZ Pop -- Over the Top (and terrific!)

"These Vikki Carr LPs were played all over the place in the early 70s & it's great to hear them again. Vikki's voice soars over highly dramatic arrangements of these cover versions.
Great stuff from Vikki's "2nd Phase"..."
Excellent CD

"Just look at some of the songwriters represented: Jimmy Webb, Burt Bacharach & Hal David, Randy Newman, The Bee Gees, Robbie Robertson, Leon Russell, Van Morrison, Phil Spector, Carole King and Kris Kristofferson!!! This CD leads off with a wonderful arrangement by Artie Butler of "I've Never Been A Woman Before" (also covered by Barbra Streisand). Both albums were produced by the great Dick Glasser (Andy Williams). Her version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is right up there with the Diana Ross version. But it's the Carole King compositon, "So Far Away", from her "Tapestry" album that showcases Ms. Carr's vocal gifts and the talented background vocals including the most wonderful Myrna Matthews. On another musical spectrum, "Spanish Harlem" (modeled after Aretha Franklin's hit version) rocks out in an almost "dance" version with rubbery bass, upfront percussion, Ms. Carr trading vocals back and forth with the background singers. What could remixers, David Morales or Frankie Knuckles, do with this cut?? Yes, this girl can sing! A worthwhile CD, oh yes!"

"Nobody has a voice like Vikki Carr and in this two lp collection of contemporary classics the grand Diva's divine voice is on display in it's full glory in peak form. Signed in 1970 to a major label contract with Columbia Records, this stunning collection features Vikki's first two lp's "Vikki Carr's Love Story" & "Superstar" with sublime vocals which are tender and emotional yet at the same time they are strong and soulful making this masterful set as good as great singing gets and all these years later this singing legend is still knocking them out in concert as Vikki's recent Sold Out engagement in Southern California demonstrated...this magnificent singer sang for two hours and received numerous standing ovations from an enthralled and very lucky audience! Do not miss this collection as this timeless vocal masterpiece with brilliant orchestrations and arrangements showcase one of the greatest voices in popular music over the past forty years and still counting. Bravo Vikki!"
