Free Music Notes for The Ultimate Collection
Free Music Review: fine single CD retrospective
Hit: 5 Stars
The Ultimate Collection by The Marvelettes is a very strong single CD compilation of what fine artistry these young woman produced when they were a girl group! The sound is excellent and I like the artwork.
"Please Mr. Postman" starts the track set with one of their best huts ever; they sing and harmonize to perfection; the percussion and guitar work add a lot to this tune. "Please Mr. Postman" has the group singing of a young woman who wants an important letter from the man she loves. The melody is great, too--perfect for dancing! "So Long Baby" has them singing in a higher vocal range but it still holds its own very well; and I like the piano arrangement very much. Moreover, there's also "Beechwood 4-5789;" they sing this to perfection and this peppy little tune gets the royal treatment from these gals as they sing this one out strong! Awesome!
"Twistin' Postman" is a cute twisting dance number that really rocks well even all these years later; and The Marvelettes do a fine job on "Forever." "Forever" is a slow dance romantic tune that sounds so fresh even today; The Marvelettes perform this with panache and this impresses me greatly. "Too Many Fish In The Sea" was another of their biggest hits ever; you may well recognize this tune the moment you hear it. The percussion and hand clapping sound great and The Marvelettes sing this better than any other girl group ever could! I love it.
"Don't Mess With Bill" also scored big for this group; and the great sound quality makes you think that they're actually right there in your living room as you listen! The Marvelettes handle the tempo changes like the pros they always were and I predict that you'll enjoy "Don't Mess With Bill" very much.
"My Baby Must Be A Magician" has that classic Marvelettes sound and the young gals do a fine job on this; they sing and harmonize so well. The musical special effects work well, too. Listen also for "Here I Am Baby;" this tune benefits from their fine singing and the percussion is awesome!
Of course, another huge hit for this group was "When You're Young And In Love." This ballad features The Marvelettes front and center as they sing this so sweetly it sails straight out of the ballpark! It's a touching ballad that always moves me when I hear it; I really like "When You're Young And In Love."
Overall, this CD by The Marvelettes truly does deliver most of their greatest hits. There's not way for a single CD to capture everything they did to contribute to the arts but this comes pretty close in my book. I highly recommend this for fans of The Marvelettes; and people who like oldies music will appreciate this album as well.
