"Although Elvis' film selections were questionable at this time in his life, this album contains the one song that matters. "Can't Help Falling in Love". He may not have made all the right moves in his film career, but his music always stood up as classic, and this is no exception." Reply
"Another of Nina Simone's brilliant 1960's albums. High priestess of soul, as always with Simone, is another quirky record with excellent songs. Standouts include, don't you pay them no mind, keeper of the flame, and, I hold no grudge. All good stuff." Reply

"A catholic mass to the sound of rock music and psychedelia. Beautiful album. "Christian worship has forms as many as the creative energies of Man. The Mass in F Minor is one of these." (by Stan Cornym from the back album cover)." Reply

"Mark me among the minority - I don't object to Sinatra's monologue at all. In fact, I think it captures the time, place and performer perfectly - which is what a Live album is supposed to do, isn't it? The Count Basie orchestra sounds terrific and Sinatra is in good voice (although rough in a cou..." [+] Reply

"Been a Steve Miller fan going back some forty years. This is my favorite. From the long time radio favorite Space Cowboy to the gorgeous Seasons, Miller takes all the musical trends of the time and makes them his own. Something he always excels at. Give it a listen!" Reply
"This album is pretty glorious. I mean, every melody and every line is so gosh darn carefully chosen and executed. The album just glimmers with pop perfection. Right from the brilliant opening track "The Puppy Song" with its exdellent bassline, its touching and humorous lyrics which any dog lover ..." [+] Reply
