...I had this bought for me for Mother's Day after a gentle nudge in the right direction and various hint dropping. With over 19 songs ranging from the late 1960's, this CD has every favourite record on it from her singing career. The earliest song on here is The Look of Love which has to be an all time favourite with most people, if anyone denies singing along to it I think they would be telling porkies.

...I originally bought this album for my mother, and well since she's in a different country and disappeared yonder - I guess she can't have it! Roy Orbison was one of the best in his time and with hits like 'I drove all night, 'Only the lonely', 'You got it', 'Crying' and 'She's a mystery to me', this is the album for the oldies. (Well, not old folk exactly, but you know what I mean). Roy Orbison has a very deep voice I find and if he needs to hit the high notes, he doesn't have a problem at all. This record is great whether you are young or old, or don't even know who Roy Orbison is! It's all musical education!... Read review
