The Greatest Songs of the Fifties

The Greatest Songs of the Fifties (2006) more music like this

by Barry Manilow

A kind of a variation on Clive Davis' wildly successful American Classic Songbook albums for Rod Stewart, The Greatest Songs of the Fifties finds Barry Manilow singing vocal pop favorites of the Eisenhower era. Although there are songs that are indeed classics of the rock & roll era, there is no rock & roll here. Manilow has picked songs like ...

Twentysomething

Twentysomething (2004) more music like this

by Jamie Cullum

Already a sensation in his native England, 22-year-old piano man Jamie Cullum comes off like a hip amalgamation of Harry Connick, Jr. and Randy Newman on his sophomore effort, Twentysomething. As with Blue Note's crossover wunderkind Norah Jones, Cullum works best when he's not trying too hard to please hardcore jazz aficionados, but it's not too ...

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: Best of Dinah Washington

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 ...

Crazy Rhythm

Crazy Rhythm (2005) more music like this

by Les Paul & His Trio

It's virtually impossible to imagine modern music without the contributions of Les Paul. Not only was he a brilliant jazz guitarist with no fear of pop or country, he literally laid the framework for how a good electric guitar should be made when he designed his famous Les Paul model for Gibson Guitars. Add in the fact that he single-handedly ...

Casino [Original Soundtrack]

Casino [Original Soundtrack] (1995) more music like this

by Original Soundtrack

The soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's '70s mob epic Casino is as over-sized as the movie. Assembled by Robbie Robertson, the album runs the gamut from schmaltzy pop to blues and rock & roll, featuring a great assortment of classic tracks and performers. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Ultimate Divas

Ultimate Divas (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Ultimate Divas captures every aspect of pop music's queens, reaching back to Judy Garland's "Over the Rainbow" and Lena Horne's "Stormy Weather," and flashing forward into the present with songs by Annie Lennox and Tina Turner.

Great Ladies of Jazz [Rebound] (1995) more music like this

Never Make Your Move Too Soon

Never Make Your Move Too Soon (1980) more music like this

by Ernestine Anderson

The title cut of this near-classic album became a sort of theme song for Ernestine Anderson, but it is not the only high point. The singer sounds in top form on such fine material as "As Long As I Live," a touching "Old Folks," "My Shining Hour," and "Poor Butterfly." With fine assistance from pianist Monty Alexander, bassist Ray Brown, and ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Dinah Washington

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Dinah Washington (2002) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington's installment of the ongoing 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection concentrates on her pop-oriented recordings for Mercury Records. Although this doesn't make for the most comprehensive overview of her career, it works well at shining a spotlight on a particular portion of her career, and the end result is quite ...

Pure Jazz [Polygram] (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Though it's part of the Pure series, Verve's Pure Jazz almost seems more as part of the Ken Burns Jazz multi-disc series, especially since it was released during that documentary's airing on PBS. Any of the tie-in discs to Ken Burns Jazz were designed to give an overview, either of an artist or an entire jazz style, while Pure Jazz is designed to ...

Cruisin' 1959 (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

Part of L.A. DJ Hunter Hancock's theme included the declaration "you'll hear music that runs the gamut from bebop to ballads, swing to sweet, and blues to boogie." And while on this fifth installment of Increase Records' history of classic rock & roll radio, the claim isn't strictly true, Hancock is heard guffawing in between an array of R&B hits ...

The Essential Dinah Washington: The Great Songs (1992) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington recorded a stunning amount of material in her too-short career (when she died in Detroit in 1963 she was only 39 years old), most of it during her lengthy association with Mercury Records between 1948 and 1955, the era covered by this single-disc retrospective. Washington seemingly tackled everything under the sun in the recording ...

Great Ladies of Rock & Roll: The '50s (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Including 25 tracks of the biggest female-fronted pop of the decade, Great Ladies of Rock & Roll: The '50s is a good compilation choice for fans attempting to fill in the gaps, as well as those who are simply historically curious. It must be granted that a gaping stylistic chasm separates some of the material here; after all, the same disc takes ...

Chris Montez Time After Time album was a quick follow-up to his The More I See You/Call Me LP in 1966, the singer's entry into the world of easy listening music.

Compact Jazz: Dinah Washington (1987) more music like this

by Dinah Washington

Not quite as fine as Sarah Vaughan's Compact Jazz disc, this Verve roundup still nicely frames Dinah Washington's stay at the label with a fetching array of her best cuts from the '50s and early '60s. Taking in some of Washington's best-known pop songs ("What a Difference a Day Makes"), the disc touches on her excellent Fats Waller ("Keepin' out ...

Jacky Terrasson (1994) more music like this

by Jacky Terrasson

Jacky Terrasson delights in turning standards inside out. On his eponymously titled debut CD he gives odd rhythms to "I Love Paris," purposely speeds up and slows down the tempo on "Bye Bye Blackbird," takes "I Fall in Love Too Easily" very slowly, does his best to disguise "Bye Bye Blackbird," and shows a grasp of dynamics worthy of Ahmad Jamal. ...
