"This is one of the better "greatest hits" CDs I've heard in a long time. But best of all, I can finally hear "Only Love Can Break a Heart" and "Walk Away" again after years of waiting. I have never understood why those two songs were not included on an album early in Vikki's career, but now everyone can fall in love with them as I did over 25 years ago. Plus, now I can throw out my old 8-tracks that I couldn't play but kept just for those two songs. This is a great CD and a wonderful tribute to Vikki's early career."

The best introduction to America's best kept secret!

"I grew up listening to Vikki carr in the sixties and seventies, so most of this material is quite familar to me. As with the lady from Aurora, CO, this material is an indispensible introduction to Vikki Carr and what she can still do. "He's a Rebel" is a feistier version than that by The Crystals, while "With Pen In Hand" is the original 45rpm release. It's not as good as her in-concert performances! The big surprise is the inclusion of 4 tracks from Carr's "Nashiville by Carr" album which, like the rest of her English-language albums, is sadly in need of a cd re-issue. The topper is the epic "Sunday morning Coming Down" which must have been done in one take. "Walk Away" is more poignant than Matt Monro's justifiably famous performance. Over all, this the most satisfying compilation I have ever heard and I encourage anyone to contact me to say otherwise!"

UNFORGETTABLE AND FOREVER THE GREATEST

"If you are looking for the perfect singer and the perfect CD...this is it! A wonderful compilation of songs from a vocalist who doesn't just sing with her voice, but always with her heart...you don't just hear the songs this woman sings - YOU FEEL THEM. In this CD you will hear the studio recorded version of "With Pen In Hand" and you know what? It still breaks your heart to pieces. No one has ever, or will ever come close in doing what she can do to someone's heart...it's simply magic! She touches you like no one else ever could...and once it happens, you are hooked! FOREVER!!! For...ETERNITY..."
