""Doctor's Orders" sounds as fresh & catchy today as it did the first time I heard it on the car radio in 1975! "Midnight Love Affair" is still the same sexy/sultry throbber, after all these years! If Donna Summer had the pipes, & Gloria Gaynor had a raspy/velvety voice than Carol should be remembered for having the sweet-sounding, ear candy voice of Disco. All her top tunes are showcased here on this CD, except her heartfelt single "So You Win Again" from 1978. Her original tunes stand out best: "Burnin'", "A Hurricane Is Coming Tonite", "Fell In Love For The First Time Today", & "I Got The Answer", as well as the two mentioned above. Carol also adds her special touch to 12" single versions of songs she covered, "Dancing Queen" & "Night Fever" (although her versions lack the excitement of the originals, they're still fun to listen to as curiosities, as far as why she recorded them in the first place). Buy this if you wanna take a trip down Disco Memory Lane!"

I agree with the previous reviewer....It's great!

"Here you go. All killer, no filler...on one disc. Buy it if you love the pre-AIDS age of decadence and dancing."

Disco Lives!

"If you're looking for some good, old fashioned disco, this is it! Carol's trilogy (Midnight Love Affair/In The Morning/Lie to Me) is nearly as hot as Gloria Gaynor's best effort (HoneyBee/Never Can Say Goodbye/I'll be there)... Also included is Carol's biggest hit, "Doctor's Orders" which will get your feet moving for sure. Lotz of others (Hurricane, Burnin, more) will take you back to your favorite dancefloor, as well. Carol even covers Abba's "Dancing Queen" on this one! Your collection NEEDS this CD..."
