 Teresa Brewer rocks! September 27, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
In response to May 30, 2000 "Music Fan" reviewer......time to tune up your ear to the "great" old standards, i.e., Teresa Brewer, Andy Williams. They just don't make music like this any more. You can actually understand the words, there is a melody, and the words are nice! I think if you are patient, and willing to listen and learn, you might mellow a little. You know - chill!!!!! Otherwise I would recommend that you get back into heavy rock and lets count the #1 hits there, OK?
 Dated, and cheap 50's pop muzak... May 30, 2000

This is middle of the road pop music from the 50's at it's worst. Compare anything Teresa Brewer did to any talented singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Anita O'Day, or even Rosemary Clooney, or Doris Day. Teresa Brewer belongs in the category of talentlass hacks like Patti Page and Andy Williams. Stay away from this dated muzak.
"The Best of Teresa Brewer..." is simply the best! November 9, 1999

The customer/reviewer from Florida is mistaken: the 18 tracks on this CD are ALL original recordings. Upon listening, it is obvious why the fantastic and delightful and beautiful Teresa Brewer was one of the best and most influential singers of her era. A wonderful, wonderful collection of her biggest hits. She had many more. So where is volume 2?
 Not original recordings... September 18, 1999

I think the only original recording is "Sweet Old-Fashioned Girl." She does a good job on the others, but for those who won't accept anything less than the originals, this isn't for you.

In the beginning Theresa Breuer from Toledo reminded people of Kay Starr but when she became the record sensation Teresa Brewer it was clear she had a voice and style all her own. The variety of material she recorded for Coral is amazing, from ballad beauties, to Dixieland, to turn of the century music hall titles, to rock, to country, to modern jazz. And she did it all perfectly in tune, with a beautiful long arcing vocal line and crystal clear pronunciation. Teresa was an efficient wonder in the studio (they hauled her in the middle of the night to get out "Let Me Go, Lover" and she did it in a take or so) who regarded recording sessions as a break in the day while raising her four beautiful daughters. Still beautiful, poised and with voice and style intact, she can only be very proud of these wonderful recordings which remain as enjoyable as the days they first appeared. Incidentally, the version of "Music, Music, Music" here is the original on London--taken much slower than the Coral remake, which was slower than the RCA remake, which was slower than the...well, you get the idea.
