Being British, I know nothing about Kathie's career in television (her fame did not cross the Atlantic), so I can judge her purely on her musical ability. I only discovered her through the internet. My first two CD's of Kathie's were this one and the Christmas CD, and they are my two favorites of Kathie's.

Kathie is particularly good at the slow, romantic songs with which this collection is filled. Yes, there are (slightly) better versions of some of the songs, particularly by some of the great ladies of the forties and fifties - but Kathie can be proud of these versions, which are among the best modern covers of these songs.

You can believe that Kathie means it when she sings When I fall in love, it will be forever, by the sincerity in her voice. So it is with the rest of this excellent album - a lovely, romantic album which sets a mood.

If you are put off Kathie's music because of her other work, I can understand - I tend to avoid work by British celebrities (or American celebrities who become famous in Britain) unless they can prove themselves on merit. Yet, occasionally, they do just that.

Try to forget Kathie's TV career. Judge her music as you would judge anybody else. If you can do that, and you also love the old songs from the Great American Songbook, you will surely love this album. And if you do, remember to buy her Christmas CD when the season comes round again.

How I admire Kathie Lee in her devotion to exel in everything she does. The timing she has as she sings these wonderful memorable songs. As I drive along I am constantly trying to get the timing down as I attempt to sing along with the cassette. I have noticed the difference in her singing since she has been taking lessons all these years. Just keeps getting better and better. I have always wanted to see one of her shows but haven't been able to yet. I highly recommend this albumn, cd or cassette. I would love to see this type of entertainment come back. Where shows are shows, songs are understandable and people are as loving and giving as Kathie Lee is. Thank you for being such an inspiration for me Kathie.

This is one of the few albums I've heard where practically every track is a delight from start to finish. It's like a mint julep on a hot summer's day ---- pleasant, refreshing, and smooth. Every song on this CD has been recorded many times before, and by the pantheon of great American singers. You won't find any undiscovered musical nuggets here. What makes this album a standout, however, is that everything on it is just right: Mrs. Gifford's singing, the first-rate backup arrangements, and the quality of the recorded sound. If I had to single out one special aspect that particularly appeals to me, it would be Kathie Lee's understated delivery. Instead of an obvious "belt-'em-out" performance, she goes for a more relaxed presentation, as if she were gently singing to her kids before bedtime. While this approach may not work that well in a live performance, it invites the listener to repeated spins of this very special CD.
