5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent retrospective of almost forgotten singer, 12 April 2003
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Barbara was a less dramatic singer than label mate Aretha Franklin, but she was a top quality soul singer with a wonderful, clear, soprano voice. She had three big American hits, these being Hello stranger, Baby I’m yours and Make me your baby. Although Hello stranger was the biggest hit, Baby I’m yours has spawned more cover versions and is probably the most familiar song.

Someday we’re gonna love again failed to chart, but the Searchers covered it and had a British hit with it. Another chart failure, Don’t forget about me, was covered by Dusty Springfield who had a minor American hit with it. The Shirelles influenced Barbara strongly, even to the extent that My mama told me (the second track here) owes a lot to the Shirelles song Mama said.

Barbara Lewis is one of many singers who have largely been forgotten. This collection proves that she had the talent to be a major star. If you enjoy sixties soul music and you want to look beyond the famous names, this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Barbara Lewis should remain a stranger no more..., 7 Sep 2009
By Anton Coy "Ant" (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
Barbara Lewis was a talented singer with a voice as smooth as caramel. She had a small handful of hits in The States, and could, and should, have gone on to much greater fame and fortune than she did. Perhaps her inherent shyness made her marketability difficult. And somehow she kind-of drifted away into virtual anonymity during the latter half of the Sixties. If you are unfamiliar with her work, then this compiliation will amply demonstrate what you have been missing. There's hardly a bad track here. Her hits (both big and small) still sound cool and soulful. And even most of her lesser recordings have something there that will want you to listen to them more than once. Good sleeve notes and detailed recording statistics, help to make this a very good buy, and it will be an enhancement to any collection of quality 1960's pop music.
