Customer Reviews
Very shoddy quality recordings
Don't pay attention to the previous reviews. With the exception of very few tracks such as "I've Had The Time Of My Life" from Dirty Dancing, and the Rambo soundtrack version of "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother," this compilation is full of re-recorded hits, not good ones at that. Even the classic "Brown Eyed Woman" is a poor re-recording on here while the original is on Rhino's 2 CD set on the Righteous Brothers. Curb does so many shoddy compilations that in the words of a chat partner of mine online, Mike Curb should be gone.
Knew him from the Voux!
Met Bill and Bobby at the Rondevoux Ballroom in the early 60's and their
music will always be in my memories. Bill was a cool guy and was very approachable. I also used to frequent Medley's Club in O.C. not to mention Harmony Park. Great music, Great gentleman!
some of bill's best songs
Bill Medley is one of the few white singers who's able to sing rock as well as R&B and who can really sound black. His versions of "He ain't heavy he's my Brother" as well as those of "Bridge over troubled water" and "Don't you love me anymore" (on other CD)are excellent, stronger than the originals and than other covers. It would be great if he records a duet with Ronnie Spector, they both have that powerful sense of rock'n'roll that many people are claiming to listen again.
