A life of music

"Despite those supposedly funny cracks through the years about the Osmonds' milk-and-honey over-sweetness, few can argue they didn't turn out music that contains a chapter all its own in rock and country annals. But this one, billed as Marie's best (which they certainly are), also pairs her with brother Donny for all those timeless duos, and we get an absolutely delightful life of music from the gal whose first recorded single ("Paper Roses") gave her a No. 1 hit at age 12. Along with Marie's solo hits into her adult career ("There's No Stoppin' Your Heart," "You're Still New To Me," "Meet Me in Montana") there are some hidden gems, many of them country-oriented like "Big Hurts Can Come (From Little White Lies)," "True Love Lasts Forever" and a terrific cut of Anita Bryant's "My Little Corner of the World." Of course, a Marie anthology isn't really one without brother Donny, and the brother-sister smash duos are all here ("I'm Leaving It All Up to You," "Deep Purple, "Morning Side of the Mountain"). You don't have to be an Osmond fan to savor this collection, a terrific anthology from a tremendously gifted singer whose range from country to rock is astounding. If you're in the market for maybe one of the best of collections of Marie by herself and with Donny, this is a must-have."

"I WAS SO SURPRISED AS TO HOW MUCH I ENJOYED THIS CD. THERE WAS ONLY ONE SONG THAT I THOUGHT WAS A LITTLE 'CORNY'. THE REST WERE SHEER LISTENING PLEASURE. I HAD FORGOTTEN HOW GREAT A VOICE MARIE HAD. I HAPPENED TO HAVE SEEN HER ON 'BIOGRAPHY' AND THE FEW SONGS THEY PLAYED REMINDED ME OF HOW MUCH I ENJOYED HER SINGING. THE CD WAS SO GREAT I JUST BOUGHT HER OTHER ONE."

This Is The Way That I Feel!

"At last, Paper Roses in it's original version. The intro to In My Little Corner Of The World is different than the LP. And where are her 2 other only top 40 solo hits, Who's Sorry Now? and This Is The Way That I Feel!>? It's nice that they put the same Donny & Marie duets, but how about May Tomorrow Be A Perfect Day or I'm A Little Bit Country? I want to compile the next collection!"
