"I've been a Vikki Carr fan for a long time, but did not collect a lot of her music until recent years. A friend played some her English CDs for me, and since rediscovering "It Must Be Him" when seeing the film MOONSTRUCK, I was totally hooked. Slowly, I've built my collection of her wonderful English and Spanish CDs (mostly Sony releases), but hit that snag with many out of print.
This gorgeous new import is phenominal! Beautifully restored hits and album tracks, plus a treasure trove of unreleased and Liberty-years foreign language recordings. A standout for me is "Tell Her Of Our Love" on Disc 1. I was also never a big fan of the song "Until It's Time For You To Go" when heard by other artists. Vikki absolutely nails it and I adore the song now, voting her version the definitive interpretation. It is also nice to hear "He's A Rebel" in Spanish (El Rebelde) on Disc 2.
For any Vikki Carr fan, this is a MUST HAVE. Those who want more than just a Greatest Hits, especially of the Liberty Years, look no further!"

"Vikki Carr sincerely, passionately and confidently performs just about anything on this generous three CD set. You truly owe it to yourself to get this three CD set and experience the wonder of Vikki Carr for yourself. This CD set, my friends, is one to be treasured.
The three CD set gives us so much that I scarcely know where to begin to describe it all to you. You get songs recorded by Vikki in her youth ("San Francisco;" "Bye Bye Blackbird" and "Somewhere In The Night"); and there are songs recorded in her native tongue of Spanish including "Cuando Calienta El Sol;" "Que Sea El" and "Más Que Nada." Vikki even sings beautifully in Italian; she performs "Il Colore Dell Amore (Color Of Love);" "Magari (Forget You)" and "Si E Lui (It Must Be Him)" as only a highly seasoned professional ever could. There are even live tracks on this three CD set that show us the electricity in the air during a Vikki Carr concert; you get "Can't Take My Eyes Off You;" "Some Of These Days/After You've Gone" and "Carnival (Manha De Carnival)," just to name a few. Indeed, each CD boasts an impressive 26 tracks for a total of 78 numbers on three CDs; and the quality control remains very high throughout because Vikki NEVER disappoints.
Vikki can take any song and infuse it with a fresh type of electric energy that I simply haven't heard before. The first CD offers the beautiful "It Must Be Him" about an unrequited love. "I Only Have Eyes For You" is one of many numbers on this set that get a complete makeover by Vikki with the singular beauty of her voice and a more modern musical arrangement that reflects both creativity and good judgment. "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top" gets the royal treatment from Vikki; she delivers this with great panache. "Is She In Love" stuns you with its beauty as Vikki wonders about the loyalty of her man. Awesome! In addition, Vikki's classic "With Pen In Hand" makes me cry--and I never cry; but this ballad is THAT touching.
"Más Que Nada" sports an awesome Latin beat that is infectiously catchy and you will enjoy this song easily without ever knowing a single word of Spanish. "Cuando Calienta El Sol" shimmers as the masterpiece of all ballads in Vikki's care; she performs "Cuando Calienta El Sol" with remarkable sensitivity that touches me greatly. The musical arrangement for "Cuando Calienta El Sol" perfectly complements the beauty of Vikki's voice, too. "Que Sea El" has a "light rock" feel to it mixed with a love ballad flavor so that Vikki can deliver this song from such a new angle that she instantly makes this ballad her own--as she does so frequently on the three CDs in this set.
"Forget You" begins with Vikki singing with just a guitar in the background; when the musical arrangement begins the chorus and the music enhance the beauty of this number. Vikki's voice is rich, warm and vibrant both on this track--indeed, her voice is in excellent form throughout this three CD set.
Vikki also sings the standards. You get splendid renditions of "Bye Bye Blackbird;" and "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)." Her medley of "Some Of These Days/After You've Gone" shines like gold as Vikki delivers this before a live audience. Vikki's rapport with her audience is excellent and the crowd hangs on her every word! Great!
Vikki possesses the rare talent to even add Italian songs to her repertoire; "Il Colore Dell Amore" features Vikki singing with a degree of sensitivity that I rarely hear; and "Se E Lui (It Must Be Him)" glistens more brightly than gold.
The liner notes include the songs credits; Vito Cifaldi III and Randy Cordova also contribute an informative essay about Vikki and her career. The photos of Vikki are terrific and Vikki personally includes a brief "hello" note, too.
If you've never experienced the singular beauty of Vikki Carr's vocal talents it may appear as if I am being effusive or flowery in this review. Fortunately for everyone, I am not exaggerating. Vikki's Grammy Awards and her countless gold and platinum records prove her talent more than my review ever could.
Once in a very, very long while, all the stars in all of the heavens align just so; and a rare jewel like Vikki Carr is born. We are infinitely better off for Vikki sharing her talent with us; and it will be a very long time before we see another quite like her. When the CDs end you want more just as Vikki's audiences always want more. I highly recommend this three CD set not just for Vikki's fans but for anyone who appreciates words and music as a form of fine art. Hopefully Vikki will be performing as only she can for decades to come.
Bravo, Vikki Carr!!!

A fine 3CD

"Of all the great popular singers of yesteryear, none had (and still has!) a finer voice or more exciting and effervescent style than Vikki Carr. Her classic 11 Liberty ('63-'70) and 6 Columbia ('71-'74) albums have seen a number of recent compilations and revivals on CD. But none better than this attractive 3CD package selected from the Liberty era, which also contains rare singles and foreign language versions, not to mention superb liner notes and photos. A perfect introduction to a wonderful singer."
A Legendary Release by a Legendary Artist!

"If life is a song, this then is the soundtrack of what a great singer we have in Vikki Carr. This remarkable woman can sing it all whether if it's the great American songbook (Where Are You), jazz (Moanin'), swinging big band (Time After Band), country (Just For You), current pop songs (Can't Tke My Eyes Off You), bossa nova (Mas Que Nada), Latin (Cuando Calienta El Sol). And not only that but she also can sing in three languages (English, Spanish and Italian). Carr's biggest hit "It Must Be Him" is used as a unifying theme for it appears on each of the three CDs in English, Spanish and Italian. The remastering is flawless, the booklet photos are equally great, the notes by Vito Cifaldi and Randy Cordova enlighten in a way no others could have possibly done and the special intro remarks by Vikki Carr set the tone for an enjoyable evening. But this is a lady who has never let time stand still! As she says,"...the best is yet to come." And after hearing this, we certainly hope this is so for this legendary singer!"
The divine vikki carr!
