with a song in my heart/pal joey sound tracks.......2007-03-31

I actually was so pleased to see a CD available because I have been longing for the movie "with a song in my heart" to become available on VHS and then on DVD, and it never has, so now at least I can enjoy the songs from the movie. The cast track from Pal Joey was just an added bonus.

With A Song In My Heart CD.......2007-03-19

I saw the film, "With A Song In My Heart" when I was twelve or thirteen years old and have wanted the sound track for many years. As an impressionable teenager in the 1950s, I have collected over time many of the films from that time on VHS or DVD, to satisfy my memories of the period. I regret that this particular film is not available on VHS or DVD, but, this CD is the next best choice. It is really enjoyable to hear the richness and depth of the voice of Jane Froman, who was one of the best singers of the time. I can still recall many scenes from the film and this CD revives the memories so well.

A Jane Froman double feature........2006-09-16

This DRG CD pairs two recordings starring Jane Froman.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

Susan Hayward played Jane Froman in the film but Froman herself dubbed the vocals. This album of songs was originally issued as a 10" Lp. None of the tracks are taken from the film: They are all studio re-recordings. Later, Capitol re-released it as a 12" LP with two extra songs added. It is that expanded [program included here. Froman is in great voice, though the orchestrations are overly lush and string heavy. Still, the songs include such standards as "It's a Good Day", "Get Happy", and "Embraceable You" making for an enjoyable mini-concert.

PAL JOEY

Capitol's cast album of the 1952 revival has long been a collector's item. The original Lp was deleted in 1960 and did not resurface until Broadway Angel released it on CD (briefly) in 1993. As the stars of the revival Harold Lang and Vivienne Segal had already made a studio cast album for Columbia - an album that helped inspire the revival - they were unable to re-record their songs for Capitol, and the label turned to Jane Froman and Dick beavers to fill in. The revised orchestrations sound dated now, but here is a chance to hear Elaine Stritch singing "Zip" and to enjoy the lusty voice of Helen Gallagher early in her career.

In the end it's the WITH A SONG IN MY HEART selections (making their debut on CD here) that make this CD worthwhile. For PAL JOEY the studio recording (available from SONY) is preferable, however if one is so inclined you can assemble your own cast album of the '52 revival by combining tracks from both releases.

"Pal Joey's" Pal.......2006-07-30

While the legubrious and over-orchestrated songs from the film "With a Song in My Heart" are typical of their era (and Jane Froman's stilted renditions are what once stood for emoting) the "Pal Joey" cast recording is an absolute delight. The orchestrations are bouncy and jazzy in a way that has long been forgotten, and the performances (except for the aforementioned Ms. Froman, whose Vulgnarian renditions are at times quite disconcerting, and who hits the sonic notes like lazer beems but misses the emotional ones by a country mile) are exceptional. Helen Gallagher deserved her Tony from the evidence of this recording, with Elaine Stritch not far behind her. But the overall impact surpasses any recording of "Joey" including the historic one that lead to this revival. There's energy, intensity and a whole lot of fantastic song writing (leave it to to Rogers and Hart) to satisfy any musical theater fan. A must have for anyone who loves "Old Broadway."

another great twofer from DRG.......2004-01-21

Jane Froman was one of the top vocalists of her era. Froman's greatness is celebrated in this new 2-on-1 album, which comprises the film soundtrack of WITH A SONG IN MY HEART as well as the 1952 Broadway revival cast album of PAL JOEY.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART was the life story of Jane Froman, with the lovely Susan Hayward in the lead role. Froman herself supplied the singing for the film. Numbers include "It's a Good Day", the bittersweet and humorous "They're Either Too Young or Too Old", "Blue Moon", "Get Happy", "Tea for Two" and "I'm Thru with Love".

The 1952 Broadway revival of PAL JOEY was the result of the huge success of a studio album released by Columbia the year before (which featured Vivienne Segal reprising her original role of Vera and Harold Lang as Joey). Segal and Lang headlined the new revival with Helen Gallagher (SWEET CHARITY, HAZEL FLAGG) as Gladys Bumps and Elaine Stritch (ON YOUR TOES, GOLDILOCKS) as reporter Melba Snyder.

Having already recorded their roles for the Columbia album, Segal and Lang saw little need in re-recording them for the revival album on the Capitol label. Instead, the roles of Vera and Joey were covered by Jane Froman and Dick Beavers.

The cast album suffers on many levels. First, the absence of Segal and Lang is quite distracting, and secondly the new Overture can't even compare with the scintillanting original.

The Columbia studio album is the version to buy in addition to this, though both albums have their strong and weak points. As per usual, Elaine Stritch brings her impressive and formidable comic timing to the fore in the show-stopping "Zip", and Helen Gallagher's silvery voice is perfect for "That Terrific Rainbow".

A fine addition to your collection. [DRG 19054]

Declan Growing Up.......2007-07-10

Declan has grown up and is now a young teenage singer with the same wonderful voice that captivated millions when he was first discovered.

Declan can still sing with the best and does a fantastic rendition of "Angel" this boy singer will always be a favorite of mine and I am in his debt for his ability to make me think of "being Home Once again" .

Declan u deserve all the plaudits and awards that are coming to you. I will always remember you singing "Why" as a young kid with such passion and feeling , many an adult would do as well to think even just a little about why , and maybe we would all be a better person.

Another Heintje perhaps.......2007-04-24

I first heard of Declan through a Bee Gees site where it was noted he recorded two of their songs for this Album - Saved By The Bell (Robin Gibb) & Only One Woman (Written by the Bee Gees for their cousin Graham Bonnet & Trevor Gorden [The Marbles]). Heard both tracks from an online site and loved them so much, decided to buy the whole album.

I collect all Gibb related songs and have many versions of these two but I must say, Declan has done them better than most. I agree with some other comments here that some of the production / lyrical content etc may not be to the highest standards but this will improve as Declan ages and gains more control of his career.

I refer to the Dutch singer Heintje (though many believe he is German)in my title because that's who he reminds me of. A young man with an excellent pure voice; hughly popular in Germany and throughout most of Europe, just as his predecessor was around 40 years ago (man am I showing my age. If history repeasts itself, Declan is in for a long and hughly sucessful career. Go for it and enjoy the ride.

Declan's BACK!!!!!.......2007-03-11

NOW it's available thru the American Amazon!!! When I first heard about this album, I discovered it would be available thru Amazon.de, the German equivalent of this site. I ordered it on the day it was released in Germany, but it did not get here until near the end of February. So much for improved international shipping.

Why I seem to like younger singers is something that I have never figured out. I found out about Declan quite by accident, shortly after his first album was released, when I was using KaZaA, (which is so inundated with spyware now, don't use it!)and looking for Billy Gilman songs which weren't on One Voice, and it gave me one of his songs by accident, and I LOVED IT! I soon found his first album for sale on eBay, though I had a little trouble with the inter-country currency transaction (it came from UK), which demonstrates why this planet should have a single currency. I've been enjoying his first album, as well as his Tell Me Why single, which contains a version of Auld Lang Syne, which cannot be found on his first album, ever since then. Then a few months back, I found out about this album!
It has been three years since then 9-year-old Declan Galbraith released his debut album (rather long slump there.) but the wait has not been in vain! His voice has matured somewhat, giving indications he is entering adolescence, ie: the Bane of a great young voice. Look at what happened to Billy Gilman!
But his selection of songs is a wonderfully eclectic collection, including two favorites of mine; "Starry Starry Night", which I first heard performed by Josh Groban, and "Bright Eyes", originally presented to me by the beautifully voiced Joseph McManners. Hearing these songs made me fall in love all over again! :)

Other songs on this great album include "Angel", "Love of My Life", "Tears in Heaven", and several other great hits, which will provide you with much enjoyment. You can check the German Amazon for audio samples, if you want to hear them.

Still, I hope Declan doesn't take too long for his next album! The same goes for my other top favorite boy singer from the UK, Joseph McManners!
Keep 'em coming, guys, before time ruins those wonderful, clean, pure, young voices!

Fantastic album.......2007-03-04

If you were to take a 9 year old boy and have him sing in St.Paul's cathedral to the Queen of England on the occasion of her Jubalee, support Elton John on stage in front of 25,000 people, break a Gueness record for a supporting chorus of 9,000 children singing "Tell me why", you will have Declan Galbraith. Enough said.

An understandably imperfect album .......2007-03-04

Yes, thank you indeed, Declan, particularly to all the solicitors and agents whose restrictions made it impossible for one of the most amazing young talents to record for the last four years.

Declan doesn't yet have full content control, but this situation should improve in the future. It is pretty clear that he was not the one who decided the "House of the Rising Sun" lyrics were age-inappropriate, or that alternate lyrics about a man who failed to become a king because of sloshing down a few too many drams of stout are somehow preferable. It's been the ruin of many a poor song, and Lord, I know this is one... Maybe after this album, a shortage of fresh material will no longer be a problem?

Production goes a little astray in a few places. The most grating are the incessant triangle pinging and the disembodied German voice in "David's Song." If you really need a recitation of some kind, please use Declan's voice, and give him something worth saying!

The hugely over-covered "Sailing," "Tears in Heaven" and "Bright Eyes" -- well dope slap me. These are as good as anything I've ever heard, including the originals. The lyrics of "An Angel" remain unchanged and sappy as ever, so why can't I get this tune out of my head? While Declan is good, very good, at the ballads such as "Love of My Life" and "Vincent," he has the kind of control and range to excel with the grand and pretentious "Nights in White Satin" as well. He clearly hasn't found his groove yet. A few experimental tunes at the end, such as "Last Unicorn" and "Where Did Our Love Go" didn't really fit this album, but so what? They are well done, even if an odd way to finish.

A word of warning, Declan already has a distinctive style, with accurate enunciation and a slightly nasal tone that would work well (shudder and choke!) for country music. It is not excessive, but some will love it and others -- not. Perhaps it is an acquired taste. Well, I for one have acquired it. This album is not quite there with "Dark Side of the Moon", "Kind of Blue" and "Sergeant Pepper's" in terms of perfection, but the elements are waiting to happen. I can't wait for the next album.

Album Description

The "THANK YOU" CD features 13 of STP's greatest songs, spanning more than a decade of hits. The compilation also includes a pair of special bonus tracks: the brand-new, previously unreleased "All In The Suit That You Wear" - which is headed to rock radio - along with an acoustic version of "Plush," recorded live on MTV's Headbanger's Ball back in 1992.

This version of "THANK YOU" contains a bonus DVD. The 3-hour, 32-song DVD features a dozen of STP's acclaimed music videos and a collection of brilliant live performances, including a remarkable assortment of "bootlegs" shot by friends and fans of the band. Among the highlights are never-before-seen musical meetings between STP and two of their major influences - a version of "Sweet Emotion" alongside Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, and a rendition of "Wichita Lineman" with the legendary Glen Campbell.

Get the one with the bonus dvd!........2007-02-18

forget the regular cd and get the one with the dvd its almost worth getting especially if you're an STP fan like myself, first of all the greatest hits are missing some of my favorite songs like Crackerman, Meatplow and Silvergun superman not to mention that its missing a couple of song from Shagri-la-dee-da it only has one song from it which was Days of the week which I thought was a weak song but this cd manages to have their awesome hit songs which I'm not complaining about and also has the unreleased song All in the suit that you wear and an unplugged version of Plush which was a bit boring, STP were one of the best and most influential rock groups to come out of the 90's while critics thought that they were a Pearl Jam clone or rippoff group it didn't seem to affect thier success, the Deleo brothers managed to make some of the best sounding melodic riffs ever and also did alot of great catchy songs whether it was a slow acoustic ballad like Creep and Sour girl or a hard driving rock song like Vasoline,Sex type thing ect not to mention Scott Weiland who was a great frontman and singer who was very mysterious and had a great personality and wrote some good lyrics despite his drug problems.

Anyway if you're a casual fan of STP and heard some of thier songs on the radio then you might wanna check this out, I think that the first half of the cd from tracks 1-8 had the best track listing and the songs flow together very well songs like Wicked garden, Plush, Creep and Sex type thing are from the debut album Core and this album is a classic grunge hard rock/metal album from the 90's each song from that album in my opinion gets a 5/5 star rating no questions asked. Vasoline, Big empty and Interstate love song are from the second album Purple which is one of my personal favorite albums from STP and it continues the heavy sound from the previous album only it has become more hard rock and alternative this album would definetely get a high score 5/5 stars. The big bang baby, Lady picture show and Trippin' on a hole are from the third album Tiny Music...Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop you could tell that the group experimented alot on this album and it was a bit slower and softer than the previous two but still good, to me it sounded like they had a 60's psychedelic rock influence on this particular album with some boring songs and some that were good it was a mix of the same STP style of music which is very good 4/5. Down and Sour girl are both from NO. 4 which is my least favorite album from them cause it seems to be missing the same energy and creativity from the other albums it gets 3/5 they should have included Heaven and hot rods its like a mix of all the styles from the previous album into one. Days of the week is from Shangri-la-di-da, in my honest opinion this album was very underrated and should have been more successful but it wasn't its still great though and is a fantastic final album from these guys who were still rocking out loud 5/5.

The bonus dvd was great I mean what can I say its the type of dvd that you'll end up watching over and over again without being bored. It has some edited together clips of live shows from STP throughout the years then you also have some bootleg footage shot by fans so the quality wasn't so good and just barely watchable maybe once or twice but then thats it. You also have all of STP's music videos which was the best part of this dvd, they are absolutely phenomenal and there is a photo gallery with some amusing pictures of the band. I highly recommend this greatest hits cd/dvd.

Thank You.......2007-01-28
