Tribute - Fabulous. Demonstrates Melissa s true capabilities and range of her voice. Song selection delightful- a true tribute to the great ladies of music.
A wonderful work of art!!!! - As the title indicates, it s a TRIBUTE cd. A tribute to Melissa s favorite artist that she was first introduced to as a child. Judy Garland, Eydie Gorme, Edith Piaf, Rosmary Clooney, Dionne Warwick, Sarah Vaughan, Barbara Streisand, and Billie Holiday. Melissa s stunning remake of Judy Garland s OVER THE RAINBOW.. makes you feel like you re in OZ, walking the Yellow brick road. With THE GYPSY IN her SOUL, she TENDERLY, WALKs ON BY, this SOPHISTICATED LADY, just TO MAKE YOU SMILE AGAIN. Melissa Jazzes it up as she looses her yellow basket in LADY BE GOOD. Then beautiful renditions of STARDUST, and La VIE EN ROSE. I have to admit, I was never really a jazz enthusiast until I heard this fabulous cd. Tribute, is by far one of Melissa Manchester s greatest works of art!! And as Melissa quotes on its liner notes, So dance, smooch, hurry up and make love slowly for a change. Enjoy the company I ve been keeping all these years. Buy this fabulous Melissa Manchester cd, it s a wonderful work of art!!! You will not be disappointed!
Walk On By! - Manchester s treatment of this Dionne Warwick classic is one of those rare instances in which the newer version is at least as good in its own right as the original. Can t say that about many remakes. Tribute is the only CD on which I could find Walk On By. One would think at least one or two tracks from Tribute would have made it to a compilation disc.
SERVICE AND SONG REVIEW - UPON RECEIVING MY ORDER IN A TIMELY MANNER, I AM VERY HAPPY THE WAY IT WAS WRAPPED AND COULD NOT WAIT TO HEAR MY FAVORITE SONG LA VIE EN ROSE, I AM VERY SATISFIED AND WILL ORDER AGAIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
TRIBUTE ~ A GREAT POP VOCALS CD ~! - I consider this CD to be VOCALLY one of the best full length recordings from the catalogue of MELISSA MANCHESTER. The CD is timeless and the perfect background mood music when entertaining friends. On this CD, Manchester demonstrates her unique gift. She vocally KNOWS HOW TO DELIVER THE MEANING AND EMOTION OF LYRICS. Often, we are blown away by the vocal technique/acrobatics. We often forget to notice if the artist touched us by conveying the message of the song. MELISSA will touch you with this CD. It is one of the best POP VOCALS you can find ! Worth purchasing.
