"The Power of Love" was Celine Dion's first chart-topping song in America, but it was a career-defining moment in more ways than one. It established her as a dependable hitmaker and also fixed the pattern of her biggest successes to come--songs that begin with delicate melodies and spare instrumentation and build into big, powerful productions over which Dion's incomparable vocals hit stratospheric heights. Dion attempts other directions on The Colour of My Love, such as the light dance-pop of "Misled" and "Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down," but they don't ring as true as her duet with Clive Griffin in "When I Fall in Love" (from the film Sleepless in Seattle) and the title track. --Daniel Durchholz

there are moments.......2007-06-18
This album was a watershed in the career of a woman who sang so strongly and then appeared to disappear suddenly from the recording world. From the opening lines, 'The whispers in the morning ....', Celine put us on notice that her diminutive size in no way correlates to the sound that flows with what looks like effortless ease--artists know that it is nothing of the kind--from the skinny songstress.
Some found the highly produced quality of this cd worthy of their scorn. But in the tradition of big stage music, Celine's style is - unapologetically - just what it is. When she announced her transition to a grueling feet-on-the-ground commitment to Vegas, no one could be too surprised. She sings from the stage even when there is no stage.
It is difficult to choose the best track on this CD. Certainly 'Next Plane Out' would Compete'. Though laurels may go in the end to 'Love Doesn't Ask Why', that piece--an existential untruth but a marvelous piece of singing--would have to edge out 'I Remember L.A.':
'I remember L.A.'
Seems a lifetime ago
We were stars on Sunset Boulevard
What a move we made
There were days in the sun
That have stayed forever young
Nights when passion was invincible
We thought love would never die
There were moments in that lifetime
That my heart still replays
There were minutes, there were hours
There were days
There are moments I still love you
That same way
When I remember L.A.'
Who can not place themselves in Celine's L.A. with a lover who is now just a memory, though - in moments - a living presence? The almost imperceptible passage from 'were' to 'are' as the heart replays tells the whole story.
It is in conjuring up the colours of love, as she did with such surging prowess, that Celine carved out a place in our memory. A fine album.
Two thumbs up.......2007-02-28
Good Cd....Love/ Romantic Ballads.............2006-12-24
Yes most of the songs are sappy and that is why a lot of people don't like this cd, but love is what this cd is all about.
Just to point out a few songs on the Cd:
Refuse to Dance(a good violin ballad in background) sounds like A Madonna song, its kind of a dark deep song.
The best song is The Power of Love, Celine's vocals are amazing! It has more of a rock edge to it.
The Colour of My Love is the most romantic song and if you a romantic at heart it could make you cry (some would also find is sappy/cheesy as well).
*Think Twice(excellent guitar ballad in the background), *Next Plane Out and *Only One Road, are very romantic ballads just as *Colour of My Love. All are good.
Remember L.A. is a sad song, remembering back to a previous relationship.
Anyway, this is a good cd to add to your collection just for the Power Of Love alone (the original verison).
WARNING if you are not into sappy songs this cd isn't for you...
After listening to it for awhile it might grow on you (I first thought it was ok and then each time i listened to it I liked it better and better).
That's all for this Album..

Album Description
Jefferson was pseudonym for Geoff Turton, ex-lead singer with Midlands beat band The Rockin' Berries. In 1968, he stuck it alone, scoring a UK hit with 'The Colour Of My Love', & a second US hit with 'Baby Take Me In Your Arms' (both of which are included here). The Colour Of My Love contains all Jefferson's recordings for Pye. It begins with a Geoff Turton solo recording before Jefferson's official debut, Jimmy Webb's 'Montage', & then working through later singles & Jefferson's sole Pye album. The album ends with no less than eight previously unissued tracks from an abandoned second Pye album, 'To Love You', 'I've Got The Best Of You', 'One More Mile', 'Aphrodite', 'Do What You Gotta Do', 'I Love You', 'Girl You Are A Woman Now' & 'Halfway To Where'. 27 tracks. 2001.Customer Reviews:
Mainstream Pop!.......2007-04-22
Most tracks are pretty heavily orchestered, and though some songs are actually quite good, most of it sound really dated and of no real significance. Most songs are main-stream pop; a few with a country feel.
Jefferson whose real name is Geoff Turton, has a great voice and did a great falsetto with the Rocking Berries, and he did have a few minor hits as Jefferson, and this collection includes all his Pye singles, his Pye album and track recorded for a never released seond album.
As stated before, there are good songs, but most of them suffer from dated arrangements, and it was a relief to hear the simple arrangement of the traditional ballad "Shenadoah". Probably my favourite track.
Among the previously unreleased tracks "There won't be a way to love you" is quite good. and Turton's own B-side "I've Got to Tell Her" is also above average.
