1	Songs in the Key of Life (1976) more music like this by Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life was Stevie Wonder's longest, most ambitious collection of songs, a two-LP (plus accompanying EP) set that -- just as the title promised -- touched on nearly every issue under the sun, and did it all with ambitious (even for him), wide-ranging arrangements and some of the best performances of Wonder's career. The opening ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.67!
2	Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: Best of Dinah Washington (1999) more music like this by Dinah Washington Dinah Washington could sing any song and make it sound like everybody's life depended on it. An awe-inspiring jazz vocalist with roots in the R&B scene of the 1940s, she gradually evolved into a pop star during the '50s and would have matured marvelously were it not for an accidental prescription drug overdose that took her out at the age of 39 on ... see all copies from $12.41! new only from $12.41!
3	At the Close of a Century (1999) more music like this by Stevie Wonder He's been called one of the most influential performers and songwriters of the century, but until 1999 Stevie Wonder didn't even have a box set to call his own. Such was the reissue campaign at Motown that, until very recently, some of the best pop music of the '60s sounded poorer in reissue form than when it was first played on AM radio. In 1996, ... see all copies from $48.52! new only from $48.52!
4	A Jazz Romance: A Night in With Verve (2001) more music like this by Various Artists In jazz, ballads have a way of separating the men from the boys and the women from the girls. They show what an improviser is made of emotionally. On ballads, technique for the sake of technique doesn't cut it -- you have to bring some genuine feeling and honest-to-God emotion to the table. And there is plenty of honest-to-God emotion on this four ... see all copies from $24.50! new only from $24.50!
5	Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Jonathan & Darlene Edwards see all copies from $9.95! new only from $13.90!
6	Greatest Hits (1958) more music like this by Doris Day Considering Doris Day spent most of her best years with Columbia (late '40s to the mid-'60s), this hits-roundup from the label makes for a perfect introductory disc. Although a might slim, the 12-track set includes most of the key songs ("Secret Love," "Que Sera, Sera," "Teacher's Pet") and spotlights Day at her vivacious best. Featuring fine ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $8.23!
7	What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! (1959) more music like this by Dinah Washington One of the more notorious albums in the history of vocal music, What a Diff'rence a Day Makes! is the lush session that bumped up Dinah Washington from the "Queen of the Blues" to a middle-of-the-road vocal wondress -- and subsequently disenfranchised quite a few jazz purists. Washington had been praised in the same breath as Holiday and ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $15.43!
8	The Very Thought of You (1971) more music like this by Tony Bennett This is a 10-song, discount-priced sampler released by CBS Records' Special Products division. While it contains some good Tony Bennett performances, it makes for a nearly random 30 minutes of his music. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.37!
9	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Louis Prima & Keely Smith see all copies from $2.98! new only from $3.29!
10	16 Most Requested Songs (1992) more music like this by Doris Day 16 Most Requested Songs contains some, but not all, of Doris Day's biggest hits. Consequently, it's more of a sampler for casual fans than a definitive retrospective, but it still highlights some of her very best performances, including "A Bushel and a Peck," "You Won't Be Satisfied," "Till the End of Time," "In Love in Vain," and "Black Hills of ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $3.50!
11 view cover	Then Came You (1975) more music like this by Dionne Warwick After being a premier vocalist in the '60s, Warwick seemed to have hit a stylistic wall by the early '70s. By the time she signed with Warner Bros. in 1970, Warwick attempted many styles and producers. Then Came You, released in 1975, has her teaming with both Jerry Ragovoy and, for one track, Thom Bell. Jerry Ragovoy was a successful producer who ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.85!
12 view cover	Soul on Top (1970) more music like this by James Brown If Count Basie had hired James Brown to replace Joe Williams as his featured male vocalist, what would the results have sounded like? Brown offers some suggestions on Soul on Top, which finds the Godfather of Soul making an intriguing detour into jazz-minded big-band territory. Recorded in 1969 and reissued on CD in 2004, Soul on Top unites Brown ... see all copies from $4.59! new only from $4.59!
13 view cover	Natural Wonder (1995) more music like this by Stevie Wonder Following the relative commercial failure of Conversation Peace, Stevie Wonder rushed out this double-disc live album drawn from an international tour during which he was backed by different symphony orchestras, his older songs featuring string parts in place of the synthesizer lines. He introduced several new songs -- "Dancing to the Rhythm," the ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $23.56!
14 view cover	In These Times (2003) more music like this by Peter, Paul and Mary For their first new album since 1995's Lifelines, veteran folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary haven't changed things around much. Although their voices are a little less angelic (at least in the normal sense), the quavering, breathy vocals carry a kind of earned wisdom that they could only hint at 40 years ago, and it makes the group's delivery of these ... see all copies from $7.97! new only from $16.52!
15 view cover	A Foreign Sound (2004) more music like this by Caetano Veloso When an international artist records an English-language album, crossover is usually in the cards. For Caetano Veloso, however, it's an entirely different matter. The statesman of Brazilian pop, a musical giant who is on track to record more in his fifth decade of artistic striving than in any other (not to mention his accompanying exploits in ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $16.23!
16 view cover	Don't Take Your Time (2004) more music like this by Erin Bode Erin Bode's national recording debut for Maxjazz is an impressive affair. The young singer, who is gifted with a sweet and clear voice, wanted to cover her favorite songs, so here she delves into rock, bluegrass, pop ballads, R&B, and standards from the Great American Songbook, and is backed by a very supportive rhythm section consisting of ... see all copies from $8.40! new only from $8.40!
17 view cover	Black Magic (2004) more music like this by Stanley Black see all copies from $6.13! new only from $6.13!
18 view cover	The Love Album [US] (2006) more music like this by Doris Day The songs heard on The Love Album first came to light nearly 30 years after their recording, but they should never have lingered in the vaults so long; what's more, if an LP had appeared on schedule, it would have easily remained Doris Day's finest album of the '60s. But neither her commercial fortunes nor the market for Tin Pan Alley songs (even ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $15.48!
19 view cover	Far Cry (1960) more music like this by Eric Dolphy Quintet with Booker Little Charlie Parker's influence permeates this 1960 session. Beyond the obvious acknowledgment on song titles ("Mrs. Parker of K.C. ['Bird's Mother']" and "Ode to Charlie Parker"), his restless spirit is utilized as a guiding light for breaking bebop molds. Far Cry finds multi-reedist Eric Dolphy in a transitional phase, relinquishing Parker's ... see all copies from $8.21! new only from $8.21!
20 view cover	One Voice: Greatest Hits (2003) more music like this by John Farnham see all copies from $9.49! new only from $9.49!
21 view cover	Ticket to the Movies (1999) more music like this by Norman Luboff Choir Positioned somewhere between the grand chorales of Europe and the populism of Mitch Miller stood Norman Luboff, who could move his choir between the twin poles of classical and popular music. On this set, he puts the choir members through their paces on a number of movie song favorites with typical results. Highlights include "All the Things You ... see all copies from $14.01! new only from $14.25!
22 view cover	Politely!/Swingin' Pretty (2000) more music like this by Keely Smith Politely!/Swingin' Pretty gathers two of Keely Smith's highest-charting vocal pop albums on one CD. Billy May's arrangements on Politely! and Nelson Riddle's work on Swingin' Pretty complement Smith's sweetly impassioned readings of "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "East of the Sun and West of the Moon," "Stormy Weather," "Someone to Watch Over ... see all copies from $10.82! new only from $11.21!
23 view cover	To Etta With Love (2004) more music like this by Houston Person One of the longest-lasting and critically lauded partnerships in jazz, the duo of vocalist Etta Jones and tenor saxophonist Houston Person ran from a concert in 1968 to Jones' death in 2001 on the same day their last album together, Etta Jones Sings Lady Day, was released. In tribute to Jones, To Etta With Love finds Person digging into various ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
