Search - Various Artists :: Chicken Soup For Little Souls: What A Wonderful World - Songs To Celebrate The Magic Of Life

Now that the voluminous, seemingly omnivorous Chicken Soup phenomenon has spread from print to music, beautiful sunshiny (if a tad schmaltzy--but that's the point, isn't it?) music reigns supreme throughout the land. There are excellent (obscure, even) selections on Chicken Soup for Little Souls, from one of Raffi's best educational nature songs, "Big Beautiful Planet," to Cass Elliott's uplifting "New World Coming" and Mahalia Jackson's awe-inspiring rendition of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." And Louis Armstrong's lovely "What a Wonderful World" continues to inspire, no matter how many feature films or commercials it's been used in. The rest of the songs included herein ought to motivate happiness and joy to sprout within all who hear them. This is an inspired collection that spans genres with uplifting sounds. --Mike McGonigal
