4.0 out of 5 stars A Lot Of...Not Best Of, 31 Mar 2009
By Peter Rayner "PerilousPierre" (Shrewsbury UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent 20 track CD of most of Gracie's famous recordings mainly from the 1940s but with a few from the 30's and 50's. I won't detail them as that will be on the sales info but I should point out that the best known of all - Sally - is not included. I don't see how they can call it "Best Of..." given that.

5.0 out of 5 stars A neglected classic, 31 Oct 2009
By pendula (Derby, UK) - See all my reviews
Gracie Fileds has perhaps been overshadowed by the recent release and success of the CD by Dame Vera Lynn, but this should not be so. Her voice may not be as refined as Dame Vera's, but it is more versatile, and this comes over in spades in this diverse collection, with songs ranging from raucous music hall humour (The Biggest Aspidestra in the World) to moving sentimentality (A letter to a Soldier) and even a Maori song (Now is the Hour). Buy it, you won't be disappointed!
