"There are lots of music albums for kids available now, but I think one of the most timeless records is In Harmony. It shows the true talents of old favorites, such as the Taylor brothers and Carly Simon. I've listened to this record for as long as I remember, and even though I'm theoretically at the threshold of being an adult, I still listen to it when I can't sleep. This album is one of the reasons that I'm going to pursue a career in music. It's definately a good investment for your kids--something positive for once."

From a 27 year old college student

"I love both this and In Harmony 2. I listened to both of them when I was little on the old 33 1/2 records that I still own. Last Christmas break, I was bored one day, so I decided to see if the old record player still worked. It sure did! One of the first albums I pulled out was In Harmony. When I put it on, my 57 year-old mother called me from her room- TURN THAT UP! she hollered, and so I did! I found In Harmony on a CD, but the only way to get it was to special order it. I loved it and got addicted to it. Before I went home for the semester break, I ordered a second copy for my mother, and she was so surprised. She loves it as much as I do. As I said earlier, I also have In Harmony 2 on a record, and I love it just as much. I can not find it anywhere- not in any stores, they can't find it in any catalogues, and I can't find it on the internet anywhere. When my mother told me that she was going to renovate my room and put a new stereo in there, I immediately realized that I would no longer be able to listen to In Harmony 2, excluding the tape I made of it, since I was sure the new stereo would not have a record player. That depressed me. I would really like to find the In Harmony 2 album on a CD, or at least on a tape. If that exists anywhere, I would like to know- I'd probably buy 2 copies. One for myself and one for my four-year-old niece and my nephew who is less than a year old. The songs are all very cute and fun to listen to. Perfect for if you're depressed, since it will make you laugh! One of the songs on the In Harmony album titled Share, is sung by Ernie and Cookie Monster. The words to the song are like a little lesson as to why we should share with each other- good hint for us adults as it is for little children. So I think anyone would love this album. My favorite off of the In Harmony 2 album is a song titled I've Got a Friend(That Nobody Knows) by Billy Joel. He is one of my favorite musicians of all time. Since I can't find the In Harmony 2 on a CD, the only way I can ever hear this song is on the tape I recorded it on, or asking my mom to get the old stereo out of our barn, which isn't very likely to happen. So again, In Harmonyis great for anybody. As I said before, if anyone knows where to find In Harmony 2 on a CD or tape, please contact me at s232133@nwmissouri.edu"

Wonderful Memories

"Like a prior reviewer of this album, I too am buying this cd because my father had given it to me when I was young (yes on good ol' vinyl). I too have many wonderful memories of this album. Especially the Doobies' rendition of the Wynken, Blynken and Nod, a poem my parents used to read to me when I was just a baby. Combine that with James and Livingston Taylor, Carley Simon, Al Jarreau and the wonderful line up on this album. Throw in the enduring cast of Sesame Street and you have an album that can't be beat for both children and adults alike.I now have a newborn baby and I plan to give her this album as my father gave it to me 20 years ago. I am certain that she will get as much enjoyment out of it as I did."
