i was a big fan of cher's torch songs on the sonny and cher hour. her voice was beautifully suited for period songs and it gave us a break from the novelty songs she was more popular for. i bought this collection at the same time i got BITTERSWEET COLLECTION and THE WAY OF LOVE COLLECTION just to fill all the gaps i may have missed. it was a mistake. most of the songs on this cd are on those other two. BITTERSWEET has some great songs bombastically produced. just too loud where they shouldnt be. THE WAY OF LOVE is much better as a whole. the few songs that are on BLUE and not those two are terrible live versions of hits by other people at that time. there may be one song i'm going to burn from BLUE and then sell it.
I loved this CD. It came with two others and I couldn't be happier. The live version of you've got a friend is excellant and I believe this is the only CD which has the live version and of course thier other more known hits are included as well as Cher's love songs....I recommend for anyone who enjoys listening to Cher!
