Adamo is always a delight

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Adamo is one of Europe's finest and most poetic singer/songwriters. He was born in Italy, but he's known as a French singer, the language nearly all his songs are written in, and the one he seems to be most comfortable singing in...though he has many CDs in Italian, Spanish, and German.
His voice has a sweet beauty, and his romantic songs are deeply emotional and moving, but he also has a comedic, lighthearted side to him, as in the humorous "La Barbu sans Barbe".The most famous song on this collection is "Inch Allah" ("God Willing"), which is like a prayer for peace in the Middle East, and it's a marvelous composition...other popular favorites are "Tombe la Neige", "La Nuit", and "Jaime".
Though there are other compillations that have included a larger and better selection of songs, like the wonderful "Les Indispensables de Adamo" which would be my pick as his best, this still deserves 5 stars, because Adamo is a one in a million 5 star kind of guy."
