The "Golden Age" referred to here spans The Jazz Singer and the advent of the talkies to the death throes of the old studio system in the 1960s. So vast was the era's musical landscape that even this 42-track, double-disc anthology can't encompass all its peaks. Not surprisingly, the bulk of this collection originated with the Tiffany's of the screen musical, M-G-M, a body of work whose riches here encompass both pop-cultural bedrock ("Over the Rainbow," "Singin' in the Rain," "There's No Business Like Show Business," etc.) and some less familiar, if equally delightful star turns: Clark Gable gamely "Puttin' On the Ritz"; the sassy, 1948 original of "The Lady Is a Tramp" by Lena Horne; and a loopy duet of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban. Fred Astaire's elegant, epochal reign at RKO and M-G-M is represented by "Night and Day," "Let's Face the Music and Dance," and three others, while Metro mainstays Gene Kelly and Judy Garland share equal time and billing. It's not perfect--Cagney's "Yankee Doodle Boy" and/or some Sinatra seem more logical choices than the odd "bonus" duet of Casablanca's "As Time Goes By" and "Lara's Theme" from Dr. Zhivago that close out disc one--but it's a stunning, surprisingly comprehensive primer on the Hollywood film musical nonetheless. --Jerry McCulley

They were right--there is NO business like the show business they did way back when !!!.......2006-11-18

Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show
You can make 'em laugh
You can make 'em cry
Anything
Anything can go....

The clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that's a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment!

The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with the guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives him her all
That's entertainment!

The plot and the hot simply teeming with $ex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It could be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father
And causes a lot of bother

The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt

The world is a stage,
The stage is a world of entertainment!

This two CD set amply proves that the musical melodies and lyrics from the golden age of the Hollywood musical remain unsurpassed to this day. This generous two CD set offers 42 incredible songs from Hollywood classic musicals. Most of these fine numbers are indeed from MGM, as Amazon correctly notes; but there are some RKO numbers and even a little from Warner Brothers. Thank goodness, though, that most of these songs came from MGM movies; MGM was the only studio that could boast that it truly had "more stars than there are in the heavens."

I love so many songs on these two CDs. Of course, there's the unforgettable classic "Over The Rainbow" sung by Judy Garland; she also performs "Easter Parade" and "Get Happy" on this two CD set and she carries most of the tune for "I Got Rhythm" even though Mickey Rooney helps her a little. I love "Baby, It's Cold Outside" for its' romantic overtones; and Lena Horne's "The Lady Is A Tramp" is flawless! We also get a rare chance to hear Clark Gable sing in "Puttin' On The Ritz;" and Bing Crosby's "Going Hollywood" may be brief but it's a fun song anyway.

There are two "bonus" tracks on the first CD: "As Time Goes By" from Casablanca and "Lara's Theme" from Doctor Zhivago. "As Time Goes By" is a good choice; it is another unsurpassed classic song that brings back memories and touches even the hardest of hearts. "Lara's Theme," however, is from the mid 1960s and I don't consider this period to be part of the "golden age" of Hollywood musicals.

The liner notes are excellent and they offer wonderful photos of the stars as well. The cover art is well done and the reverse cover art tells which movie each song is from and who is performing each song. Moreover, the quality of the sound is excellent especially when you consider that these numbers were recorded quite a few decades ago.

In short, this superlative two CD highlights the glory of the Hollywood musical when a certain type of sophistication dominated professional movie production. I highly recommend this CD for fans of Hollywood musicals, classic pop vocals and fans of the artists and actors who perform on this two CD set.

One of the best cds I ever bought. .......2006-06-07

What an amazon collection of songs! This is bar none my favorite cd just because of the variety and the quality of songs on it. I love music from this era, and this cd is the perfect companion to my life. Love it! Buy it, you won't regret it for a moment!

Never Sounded Better.......2006-03-16

Apart from the great selection of soundtracks, what really makes this compilation top value is the quality of the sound processing. Executed with finesse, these tracks sound better than when first issued and many are unedited, fuller versions: like "Singing In The Rain", for example. Throw in the great price, and this double disc set is a "must have" for all lovers of classic movie music.

It was once said by the songwriters of that era - "There are two artists you want perform your songs on the big screen, they are Fred Astaire and Judy Garland they sing it just the way we wrote it, for which you will have a guaranteed hit on your hands"...well, this collections certainly has some merit to that statement...because with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire performing seven songs each, there must be something to it.

This collection of musicals still has the magic that we remember from those bygone years...but as long as we have the labels and networks who play and show these wonderful films of yesteryear, they will never be forgotten...hats off to Rhino Records, George Feltenstein (producer) and Doug Schwartz (engineer) and Turner Classic Movies for sharing those 42 selections from 42 films...celebrating decades of the tunes and artists that gave it their all...from what it commonly called "The Hollywood Dream Factory"...The Golden Age of Hollywood Musicals is still among us...gotta love it!

Customer Reviews:

An excellent Britpop call for peace!!!.......2006-01-06

Recorded (and retailed) in a 24 hour period by every act involved to raise money for children from war torn regions, this is the fastest recording ever. Amazingly, the quality of the music is superb!!! This is probably due to the stellar line up that includes Radiohead, Keane, Coldplay, The Magic Numbers, The Coral, Bloc Party, Elbow to name a few; loads of my favourite acts.

The ultimate piano rock group, Keane (with alien effects from Faultline), handle a ballad by the ultimate piano rocker, Elton John. `Goodbye yellow brick road' fits choir boy voice of Tom Chaplin to a `T'. It doesn't stray too far from the original.

`I heard it through the grapevine' by Kaiser Chiefs is another story; a rollicking fun reworking of the Marvin Gaye classic which works superbly.

Radiohead provide a dirge like ballad, the brief `I want none of this'. Coldplay perform `How you see the world no.2' and make the song their own, there's the eastern guitar drenched `Hong kong' from Gorillaz, and the summery harmony laden 'Gone are the days by The Magic Numbers.

Most touching story from the line up is that of 25 year old Emmanuel Jal, a former child soldier from Sudan who performs the hip hop laced `Gua' (which means peace in Nuer) which surprisingly fits in rather well. He raps in his native Nuer tongue, as well as in English and Arabic, with a lovely children's backing choir (and he also wrote the CD liner notes). With lyrics hoping for an end one day to an to conflict, fear (especially in children) and for peace, this just about sums up this entire brilliant CD.

very cool- even if you're just a brit pop, rock fan.......2005-12-09

Oh and I'm not a kid by the way.

Anyway, I first heard of the album in the radio and got to hear the track "Heard it through the grapevine" from The Kaiser Chiefs. Then I didn't hear much of it (as I'm living in Germany) but I kept it in mind. But when I remembered it I didn't wait long and put it on my christmas wishlist. To tell the truth , I didn't even really look at the artists or the songs. All I knew was that the Kaiser Chiefs, Maximo Park, Bloc Party and Hard-Fi had tracks on the album.

So when I did get "Help-a day in the life" for the First Advent I was rather surprised to actually find non-brit pop tracks, such as Emmanual Jal or even the Gorrilaz. No ofence but upon listing to the album for the first time I didn'T love it. But after listing to it for a couple of times it really appealed to me. Altough I'm not such a big fan of some of the music I actually really liked the tracks!

Overall I can only recommend "Help-A day in the life". It's not your average "Various" Album because of the great artists. Only thing I don't like about the album is "Happy Christmas, War is over" from ??? ( I can't think of their name just now). I'd like to listen to the album without always having to think of Christmas. But still worth the buy!

4.5 Stars.... The rare compilation album that actually works.......2005-10-29

I have never been a big fan of the compilation album genre, be it movie soundtracks, charity albums (such as this album) or whatever multiple artist compilation. But when I saw this album on a recent trip to London, I couldn't resist, and for once, I am happy to say that this album is worth every nickel.

"Help: A Day in the Life" (20 tracks, 78 min.) is the sequel to the 1995 charity compilation album "Help: War Child". The line-up of artists contributing to this album (with every single track recorded in a 24 hr. span of September 8-9, 2005) is just outstanding. Among the many, many highlights: Coldplay's "How You See the World, Pt.2" (which, contrary to the Amazon editor's review, is NOT the bonus track of the Japanese version of "X&Y"--that track, "The World Turned Upside Down", can be found on the "Fix Me" single); Radiohead's down-trotten "I Want None of This", Keane's charming cover of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", The Magic Numbers' "Gone Are the Days", The Coral's little gem "It Was Nothing", and towards the end of the album, the 1-2-3 punch of Bloc Party's "The Present", Hard-Fi's "Help Me Please" and Babyshambles' "From Bollywood to Battersea" (giving a glimpse of how good Pete Doherty can actually be, if only he could stay away from drugs long enough). But the outstanding track on the album is the Kaiser Chiefs' cover of "I Heard It Throught the Grapevine", with a riveting guitar lick throughout.

There is really no weak track on here, as hard as that is to believe. Even the non-rock tracks such as Tinariwen's "Cler Achel" and Emmanuel Jal's "Gua" don't sound out of place. "Help: A Day in the Life" is an outstanding album, frankly one of the better CDs of 2005. And that the proceeds help a good cause, only makes this so much easier to recommend.

Product Description

The fifth collection culled from the annual VH1 Divas specials is a little too genteel. Maybe because the producers are now old hands at pairing up pop's biggest female singers, and they know how to avoid potential fireworks. But it's the fireworks that make these records sizzle. Who can forget Elton John's rendition of "The Bitch Is Back" on the 1999 edition? Except for the rendition of AC/DC's "You Shook Me," inexplicably assigned to Celine Dion and disco revivalist Anastacia, which features blistering guitar by Meredith ("Bitch") Brooks, none of the cuts crackle. Cher's dance floor hit "I Believe" sounds canned and forced, and Latin firecracker Shakira goes low-key with an acoustic version of her soft-focus "Underneath Your Clothes." Even the vivacious Dixie Chicks can't rescue the record with their performance of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide," complete with Stevie Nicks. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews:

Divas Las Vegas........2007-04-12

Really enjoyable special.
The highlights would have to be Cher's and Celine Dions performances.
Cher performs Believe and A Song for the Lonely and knocks them dead.
Celine performs Im Alive and A New Day Has Come and practically brings the house down. She was superb.
Other artist were good also, in particular Anastacia.
Very interesting to watch and great to own.

A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

George Feyer's Echoes.......2004-06-12

I am 57 and I remember George Feyer's albums since I was a child.
I kept many of them on vinyl from my father's collection.
I will be hightly interested on getting the echoe's whole collection remastered on CD.

echoes.......2001-12-28

holding out for reissue of the echoes series on cd,
especially echoes of paris, echoes of christmas...
let me know when they are available

He was a talent.......2001-11-30

There are 2 CD's of George available. If you like well played piano, with great arrangements, then these are for you. He had a great career on the club circuit in New York and deserves any and all praise. Unfortunately he has passed on to that Concert Grand in the sky, but these CD's will keep his talent alive.

The Essential Jerome Kern.......2001-01-07

Once again George Feyer has proved he is a concert pianist. The way he plays Kern reveal not only his great musicality, but also his great musical culture and taste. He uses to improvise slightly including some familiar themes from his favorite Chopin and other composers in his accompaniment. All recordings are perfectly remastered and sound beautifully. This album is a must for every collector of popular music. Both thumbs up! We are still waiting for more Feyer (his series of "Echoes..." (of Broadway, Hollywood, Paris, Budapest, Rome etc.), which made him famous in America.

I have always loved Feyer's Echoes recordings.......1999-10-14

Like Mr. Pinto, I too would like to buy CDs of any of Feyer's Echoes recordings: e.g. Echoes of Paris, Echoes of Hollywood, etc.
