Product Description
Album Description
* It used to be said that there are eight million stories in the Naked City. Here are twenty four such stories, depicting the happiness and hardships, the highs and lows of 1960s city life.
* All human life is here - from the anticipation of arrival in a Metropolis; the hardships of employment and unemployment; the finding and losing of love; and the escapes from reality that can be found `Up On The Roof'. Although many of these songs are set in and around New York, their message is pan-American and could just as easily apply to Chicago, Detroit or any other city where not all the inhabitants found that summertime meant that the living (or the loving) was easy.
* A host of soul music's most revered artists are assembled to tell this story, from Arthur Alexander to Aretha Franklin. Almost all of those who tell it sing from personal experience of having lived it.
* Those who feel a purchase coming on will be pleased to know that more than half of the inclusions are making their CD debut.

There are 2400 songs in the naked city and here's a couple of dozen of them,
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In the Naked City (Audio CD)
What could be a new themed series this one concentrates on songs about New York of which there's enough to do further volumes.
With Ace now having put out 4 Jan Bradley songs out of over 20 she made there seems a strong possibility that it will be Ace who finally issue a Jan anthology seeing as her immediate contemporary Claudine Clark has now been given the CD treatment.In fact Jan Bradley is shown on the customized CD label And in a kind of British Invasion in reverse these CDs of America's own long neglected music have to be obtained by collectors over there as imports! Same as we have to do if we want Lesley Miller of Barbara Chandler product. But back to this one-its nice to see plenty of cover versions and thank God they never included ropey stuff like New York New York

By Miles Archer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Naked City (Audio CD)
Ace Records (the Kent label in this case) is the best place to start when one wants to purchase great under-rated American music. This collection of songs about urban life, mostly from the 60s, is one of the finest compilations that this label has available.

Wonderful Music,
By Sandra Ward Washington - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In the Naked City (Audio CD)
When you are in search of old music, this is the place to start of Amazon by Artists and/or Song and I have been very pleased with the service that I have received by timeliness of receiving ordered products.
