Free Music Notes for Free to Be You and Me
Free Music Review: Oldie but Goodie
Hit: 5 Stars
This album really takes you back... I remember some of the songs from when I was little and now my daughter gets to enjoy the fun too. There are songs and skits and each one has a positive message about being yourself, being confident in yourself and respecting others. Even though it was written in the 70's, the message is still relevant. And it's so cool to hear all the celebrity voices you know and love.Free Music Review: Free to be You and Me
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this cd and hope it never goes out of production. I was introduced to it in college and enjoy the message it brings to both boys and girls about independence, different ways of being, and loving who they are. I also really enjoy Free to Be a Family, which has many of the same messages, but directed toward the many different ways of being a family in our world. Unfortunately, it appears "Family" has been taken out of production. I had to find it used in order to give it to my nieces this year.Free Music Review: Great for your kids
Hit: 5 Stars
I recently saw the film "Half Nelson," and there's a scene where the drugged out school teacher's parents put this on. It was the hip record to have for your kids once upon a time, and even if they don't turn out exactly like you'd wish they would have, if they listen to this often enough, they'll turn out just a bit more tolerant than if they hadn't.Free Music Review: Still just as much fun
Hit: 5 Stars
I got this cd, as I am pregnant and beginning to compile child-friendly music for my soon to be baby boy. When I came across Free to Be You and Me, I couldn't resist. I had such wonderful memories from elementary school - watching the "video" and listening (signing along) to the music with my friends and classmates. Now, in my thirties, I am hearing the songs and poems with a new ear...and I still love it! The songs and poems are still so singable, fun and poignant. I can't wait to share with my little one.Free Music Review: a landmark in children's albums
Hit: 3 Stars
If you were a kid in the 1970s', chances are you had a copy of this little gem. FREE TO BE YOU AND ME was created by Marlo Thomas as a teaching tool for children. Filled with great songs and comedy bits from a galaxy of stars, the album teaches gentle lessons about sharing, self-belief and tolerance.
Marlo Thomas originally created the album because she wanted her niece to have something that celebrated just being a kid, but this album was proudly adopted by an entire generation, and songs like "It's All Right to Cry", "Parents are People", and "William's Doll" became anthems in the schoolyard. Parents who grew up with the album now have the opportunity to pass it along to their own children, thanks to this reissue from Arista Records.
Highlights include husband/wife team Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy with "Girl Land", Carol Channing with "Housework"; and Marlo Thomas with "Ladies First".
Totally magic.
