"I remember hearing Kate Smith when I was a child and recall how much my father loved listening to her in the 1940's and '50's. My dad, now 98, still talks about her. I bought this CD for my dad, but after listening to Kate's tremendous voice and her redention of the classic favorites from her album "The Sweetest Sounds" and the inspirational and uplifting gospel songs from her "How Great Thou Art" album, I'm having to buy a second one to give to dad. I would recommend this CD to anyone who remembers Kate Smith with fondness, or anyone who appreciates great female focalists. The musical tract to all numbers on this CD are excellent. Kate was definately one of a kind."

She was the best

"This is a wonderful pair of albums, but my favorite has to be the inspirational songs. I first heard this particular album as a child, and have only the fondest of memories for it. She puts such power and emotion in these songs, they still give me goosebumps when I listen to them. Her rendition of How Great Thou Art should be considered the definitive one! The songs are all beautifully arranged and sung."
