Lady Sings the Blues [Original Soundtrack]

Lady Sings the Blues [Original Soundtrack] (1972) more music like this

by Diana Ross/Original Soundtrack

Her biggest album as a solo act, Diana Ross forever ended any association with the Supremes after this film. She not only got an Oscar nomination and more roles, she really did capture the spirit and flavor, if not the sound and timbre, of Billie Holiday's music; her performance was the film's only saving grace.

Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy! (1955) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Combining Frank Sinatra's first two ten-inch albums for Capitol, the compact disc Songs for Young Lovers/Swing Easy! not only contains some of the best music Sinatra recorded, it captures a turning point in popular music.

A Voice in Time: 1939-1952 (2007) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

This four-CD set is a first in Frank Sinatra's Columbia Records discography: a box set that encompasses his Columbia solo sides with his work for Tommy Dorsey and Harry James, plus live broadcast sides up through 1952. It may also perplex some potential purchasers, especially those who already have the 12-CD Sony/Legacy Columbia Years set -- which ...

Love Songs [Columbia Portrait Cover]

Love Songs [Columbia Portrait Cover] (1996) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

Billie Holiday sang plenty of love songs throughout her career, yet it still seems a little odd to have a Holiday collection entitled Love Songs, mainly because her love songs were never quite so simple. And that's part of the problem here -- Holiday's art may be too rich for audiences who just want a collection of love songs like this. It's ...

The Very Best of Willie Nelson

The Very Best of Willie Nelson (1999) more music like this

by Willie Nelson

Spanning two discs and 30 songs, The Very Best of Willie Nelson isn't as sublime as Greatest Hits (& Some That Will Be), which came close to capturing the essence of Willie Nelson's Columbia recordings in 20 tracks. The Very Best covers more ground and, technically, it has more charting hits, but it isn't as far-reaching and diverse as Greatest ...

Columbia's Greatest Hits is good sampling of Louis Armstrong's most popular hits, capturing familiar versions of such staples as "A Theme from the Threepenny Opera (Mack the Knife)," "(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue," "Ain't Misbehavin'," "Basin Street Blues," "All of Me," "West End Blues" and "Struttin' with Some Barbecue."

James Brown's Original Funky Divas

James Brown's Original Funky Divas (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Over the decades, James Brown collaborated with, and encouraged, some of funk's leading ladies. During the '60s and early '70s in particular, every Brown show featured a 15- or 20-minute break when he would leave the stage, turning it over to a young female singer who'd perform her own mini set -- an event that became a tradition and an important ...

Everything's Coming Up Rosie (1977) more music like this

by Rosemary Clooney

Rosemary Clooney's first album for the Concord label set the standard for her work of the next 20 years. Long associated with middle-of-the-road pop music, Clooney really excelled in the jazz-oriented settings with the Concord All Stars. Although she does not really improvise, her very pleasing voice and subtle phrasing should appeal to most jazz ...

16 Most Requested Songs (1994) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

16 Most Requested Songs is a mid-priced collection that attempts to spotlight many good performances by Louis Armstrong, including "Mack the Knife" and "Blueberry Hill." The collection claims to present his "most requested" work, but any set that leaves off "What a Wonderful World" and "Hello, Dolly!" can't deliver. At the same time, these are ...

16 Biggest Hits, Vol. 2 (2007) more music like this

by Willie Nelson

The second volume of Columbia/Legacy's 16 Biggest Hits doesn't quite live up to its title: it has Nelson standards and hits, to be sure, but it's hard to call these his very biggest hits, since it's lacking not just big hits from Atlantic and RCA, but doesn't have a bunch of his bigger Columbia hits. That said, it's an entertaining cross-section ...

Portrait of Sinatra: Columbia Classics (1943) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

The beauty of any Frank Sinatra collection is that, depending upon how it is put together by the producers for whatever purpose they have in mind, each one allows the listener to focus on a different aspect of the singer's work and pick out new and varied details. On one level, this double-CD set is a good compromise for listeners who aren't ...

Swing and Dance with Frank Sinatra (1944) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

When Columbia decided to reissue Frank Sinatra's early-'50s albums on CD, they did it right, choosing to expand each of the original albums with bonus tracks and release them at a budget price. Such is the case with Swing and Dance with Frank Sinatra, which is built around an eight-song, 10" record of the same name originally released in 1950 and ...

Happy Time (1975) more music like this

by Roy Eldridge

Roy Eldridge actually spends as much time singing as playing during the ten standards here, but the solos he takes (although concise) have their explosive moments. With pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Eddie Locke providing the support, the music always swings in an exuberant fashion. This CD reissue, ...

As Louis Armstrong traversed the globe, bringing jazz to every corner of it, live recordings became the norm. This reissue brings together 1955 concert recordings with the All-Stars from Milan and Amsterdam, buffeted with three previously unreleased bonus studio tracks recorded in New York and Hollywood. Both Satchmo and the All-Stars are in top ...

Bird (1988) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

Through the miracle of modern technology and countless hours of studio toil, producer Lennie Niehaus matches original solos by alto sax titan Charlie "Bird" Parker with accompaniment by modern players. The sidemen playing with the long-dead legend include bassists Ron Carter and Ray Brown, drummer John Guerin, and trumpeter Jon Faddis. It's a ...

The V-Discs: Columbia Years: 1943-45 (1943) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

When Frank Sinatra left Tommy Dorsey's band and signed his first solo contract with Columbia Records in 1943, it should have been one of the biggest musical events of the year -- Sinatra had been wowing audiences since 1940 as a singer in Dorsey's band, and had developed a huge following, especially among younger women; in the space of just two ...

Greatest Hits (& Some That Will Be) was released in the fall of 1981, summarizing a remarkable seven-year stretch of extraordinary success that began when the iconoclastic Red Headed Stranger, Willie Nelson's first album for Columbia, which became a smash hit not long after its 1975 release. From that point on, Nelson became an American popular ...

This is a fine budget-priced box set that puts three single-disc collections from Frank Sinatra's Columbia Records period under one slipcover. Sinatra Sings His Greatest Hits is the single best one-CD overview of the Voice's tenure at Columbia. Swing and Dance With Frank Sinatra lives up to its title by being a hot up-tempo overview that adds a ...

I Just Wanted to Hear the Words (2004) more music like this

by Danny Aiello

Given the track record of actors-turned-singers, it's easy to be suspicious that Danny Aiello's 2004 album I Just Wanted to Hear the Words is nothing but a vanity project, which he himself admits in the liner notes. But in those very liner notes he argues against that idea, claiming that he's been singing for years, long before he became an actor, ...
