What's to say?
Free to Be You and Me is timeless, brilliant, and super fun for kids of all ages.
Great cast, wonderfully imaginative songs.
Too bad nobody's making an updated version!

The original "A Very Special Christmas". I remember buying the LP when it first came out and loved it so much that I decided to get the CD recently. Still a classic. Great Album.

Hello!
I think that the two previous reviewers should be crucified upside down.
They probably prefer Britney Spears!

A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > By Decade
by: Various Artists

October 20, 1992
This is the best of the series in my opinion. The Tom Petty original that opens the CD is worth the cost of the CD alone. It is the single best rock and roll Christmas song ever written. Ann and Nancy Wilson deliver a great version of Blue Christmas and the Randy Travis Jingle Bell Rock is the best version I have heard. Bon Jovi rocks, Luther adds a bit of great jazz and although I am not typically a fan of hers -- Sinead O'Conner delivers a beautiful version of "I believe in you". There are a few duds, including Run DMC and Michael Bolton, but the bulk of the CD has very strong performances making this a classic Christmas CD in my home.

Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > By Decade
by: Dianne Reeves, Patti Austin, Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Take 6, Al Jarreau

September 29, 1992
Quincy Jones already rocks my world. I have nothing but respect for him and the level of musical excellence that has always surrounded anything he put his considerable mind and talent to. But this re-imagining of Handel's Messiah from an African-American perspective is exceptional, extraordinary, unabated joy--especially in "And He Shall Purify" and "Hallelujah!" I am a middle-aged white musician/pianist/voice teacher in New York City. I got my Master's at Indiana University in voice. I was raised a Southern-Baptist even! I only offer up this information to suggest what an unlikely candidate I might be to enjoy this CD. I can't stop smiling and moving with these extraordinary performances when I put this CD on. God bless Michael O. Jackson ... Read More:

This is my all time favorite driving soundtracks. I never had road rage when I listened to it. I was too busy listening and driving.

The CD itself is in great condition. There was confusion about my having already purchased it, and shipment was therefore delayed. The seller quickly rectified this oversight and remained in constant communication until my receipt of the item.

On a Starry Night

I bought this CD based on the reviews and it was everything everyone said it was. I have older children that are in college and want the CD because when they listen to it with their brother, it's so relaxing. If you want gentle background music to lull your child to sleep, this is it. If you want to destress with soothing music, this is it. Excellent.

If you like the original version of "I will survive" do not buy this CD. This version is horrible!!! Unfortunately, I opened the CD and couldn't return it.
