Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Almost PerfectThis CD would have been perfection except for the inclusion of two songs by Betty Hutton (listening to her mangled version of IT HAD TO BE YOU is too painful for words) and the exclusion of Glenn Miller. Perhaps whoever put this collection together experienced a brief psychotic break. I can't think of any other reason why the off-key, over-the-top vocals of Betty Hutton would have been selected over Glenn Miller. Rating:  - Those Were Our SongsEnjoyed listening to songs from my past. These are songs that cannot be found on radio stations anymore. For older adults it is a great find. Rating: - now THIS is the soundtrack to an era gone by...Those Were Our Songs: Music of World War II is an excellent two CD set that really showcases so many hits from the era of the Second World War. The sound quality is truly rather good and the artwork reflects good judgment. The Andrews Sisters make a beautiful start to this CD set with a stunning rendition of "I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time." The Andrews Sisters sing this just right and they harmonize so well that number by them always charms me.

It brings back pictures in my mind of my family that are no longer with me. If you are a child of the 40's I know you will enjoy it. Rating: - Wonderful memories, great musicI purchased this as a gift for my neighbor who is 79 and was a young girl during WWII. When she opened it up and looked at the list of songs, she started saying "I remember that song, oh I love that song, I used to listen to that during high school, etc.!" Watching her face light up as she thought back to that time really made me feel good. It is a great CD set and an excellent compilation of all the wonderful songs that were famous during WWII. Definitely recommend it to anyone who likes music from that era! |
