Advantages: Some Classic hits, All on one collection
Disadvantages: Some hits missed out.

Being a huger motown fan i decided to purchase this album so i could have a collection of motown hits all on one CD. As i had heard most of the songs on the album before my purchase i knew what to expect and thus was not disapointed. Each song on this album has its own upbeat rhythm and lyrics that will have you singing along for hours. The album has 46 tracks which is a good collection of motown hits to have. Many hits on the album can be hardc ...
...that there is a vast number of clasics hits not featured here. However if you are just getting into motown then this is a great place to start. For the more serious collector tho i would suggest like me you collect the records for that more classic and authentic feel. ... Read review

Advantages: takes you to a time in the past
Disadvantages: has to be enjoyed at the right time/place

I first heard this album sitting in my local music shop with two male friends and my intial reaction was one of blushes...the power of the truley sensual voice of Peyreux was sufficient for me to have to leave the shop,so beautiful her tone,and classical the lyrics I thought my friends would only think id suggested listening to this as a means of seduction. She posseses a quality known to real jazz/blues singers to find somewhere deep inside her ...
...away and feel a part of a world where love, sex and sensuality are what lifes about. The french are known for their ability to transcend into the realms of romanticism and this is where I want to be, barefoot in paris listening to my loves ambitions, pains and woes sung like honey by a dark mysterious woman in a smoke filled bar.I will always listen to this album and its one for stolen moments of enjoyment and appreciation of a truley beautiful lyricist. ...

...la Pinta 5. Besame Mucho On Amazon this album is around £6.50. iTunes lists the album as 2004 release with 17 (some missing from the Amazon listing) tracks, at £7.99, this is the version that I have and am reviewing. Also I will not review every one of the 17 tracks but will concentrate on two or three tracks that stand out, and give you a full track list at the end of the review. ~~~~Reviewed tracks~~~~ Melancholy Madeline: This track is quite ...
...a sense of fun. Besame Mucho: The title track and a jazz/Latin standard. He plays this slightly differently from any other version I have heard. For a start he plays it so high it is sometimes difficult to realise it is sax and not trumpet. Then there is the embellishment of melody, which is really very clever. Finally, there is a sense of edginess that I like about this version, it is smooth, but in places 'breaks out' into a bit of 'edge'. Great ... Read review
