 WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED July 15, 2008
This CD allows you to really gear down and relax. I'm a Cleo Laine fan, and her incredible artistry and sultry voice are showcased in this one.
 spoils the memories April 19, 2008
I disagree with the other reviewers. All through this CD I found myself thinking how wonderful this would have been if recorded earlier in Cleo's career. Not even Cleo's great voice can last forever, the high ranges still sound fine but mid range has gone. A sterile performance from her backing musicians doesn't help either. Far better to enjoy her fabulous earlier recordings.
That old Feeling, Cleo Laine December 16, 2007
She is an artist who stands nearly alone through her style. (Lena Horne comes close.) Excellent collection , very enjoyable.
 Impeccable program and performances, but too uniform in approach July 1, 2007

So why only a 4-star review? Cleo's vocal performances and the arrangements are first rate, if restrained, and there's a lack of variety in tempo from song to song. The uniformity lends itself to a lackluster quality overall. I still like the recording, but it is far from my favorite Cleo Laine disc.
The songs are the classic standards that are the hallmarks of American popular music. Out of the 18 songs, there are seven that I think are exceptional as performed here: "I've Got a Crush on You," "Imagination," "I Didn't Know About You," "Alfie," "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye," "Embraceable You," and "My Funny Valentine."

When you think of female jazz vocalists, what names come to mind? Often, you hear Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington. Well, add another name to the list--Cleo Laine. This beautiful, British songbird is phenomenally talented and I am surprised that we haven't heard more of her, and that her name isn't more well-recognized. Her lower register is flawless, sexy and carries the grace and the depth of the songs, featured here, with minimal accompaniment (just subtle chords from her pianist). Some of the best songs (in my opinion) include "That Old Feeling" and "Ain't Misbehavin'". The rest of the songs don't fail to disappoint either! Just beautiful.
