Free Music Review: A Gem!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you enjoy Spiritual Songs that make you feel good without preaching, this is for you. Twospectacular vocalists backed up by a flawless orchestra sing
vocal harmonies as no other male/female combination I've ever heard. Like the Everly Brothers, they also blend like they've been singing together all their lives. The album opens with perhaps their most famous duet, 'Whispering Hope' which was a hit
for them and simply beautiful music. 'Abide With Me' follows and
has a beautiful sadness to it. Next, 'In The Garden' continues to express the joys of believing in a life hereafter. So many other great versions of classic Gospel songs, 'Beyond The Sunset, 'Beautifull Isle of Somewhere', the somber yet beautiful
'Now the Day is Over',abound. This album contains all the Spititual songs they recorded together. I have about another ten songs they recorded, most of which are of the same high standard as these tracks. I'd love to hear all the songs they recorded. This CD is recommended for anyone who loves great vocal harmonizing, cause these two fine vocalists do it as good as anyone I know.

I never knew Jo Stafford. Gordon, however, was an old and dear friend, and certainly among the purest vocalists of the century. I was a music and theatre critic for many years before retirement, and can say without reservation that this musical collection ranks with the loveliest in my memory. I recommend it to any folks who loved the beauty and passion of the kind of music that once flooded the airways. Consider merely a taste of lyrics as they once were. You may recall:
"You are the promised kiss of springtime that makes the lonely winter seem long. You are the breathless hush of evening that trembles on the brink of a lovely song."
Oh, what a troubled world has lost in the ensuing years!

Hit: 5 Stars
For those of us who find ourselves in the extinct category it is particularly heartwarming to encounter in these modern times the hymns of yesteryear performed by our favourite stars. I still have the LP with these beautiful songs. The mood it creates is the essence of nostalgia. For those who would enjoy the quiet calm of earlier times this is a very good cd.It is even more exciting to hear these duets when that type of singing was so very popular. I have hundreds of cds many of which are religious and I say without controversy that there is none like this cd. It is in a class of its own.
I wish all who listen to be as thrilled as Iam and always will be by this cd.

Free Music Review: Vocally outstanding
Hit: 5 Stars
Having been a member of my church choir for many years, when I'm not singing at mass I enjoy singing in the car. This is a great CD to listen to while driving. The vocals on this album are perfection and blend just beautifully. These are simple melodies, easy to sing, but so very, very lovely. The lyrics also are very meaningful. I own many CD's, but this is absolutely one of my all time favorites. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy!!Free Music Review: OUTSTANDINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
