"If for no other reason you should buy this disc, Dinah's STUNNING rendition of "Once Upon a Summertime" would be well worth the small price! Contained here are some of her "greatest hits". All were recorded in the 60s and early 70s; capping off a great recording career for Shore. The newer renditions of her early hits as "I'll Walk Alone" and "Jim" have an even greater poignancy with the newer renditions. "Once Upon a Summertime" is recorded in the seasoned, reflective vocal style Dinah possessed during this period. A rare and wonderful glimpse at a songbird in her Autumn years."

"No yelling, shouting, vulgar or rap-[junk] here. This CD is great enjoyable down to earth singing and a wonderful variety of songs to show how a refined voice can sound. The songs bring you through several years. I remembered Dinah Shore's TV show many years back and this CD brought back those memories. Also songs I became familar with during World War 2. It is a real pleasure to listen to her singing and those of you who are aware of her will certainly enjoy this CD. I would recomend this to anyone who wants to settle down in a quiet reflective moode. I found this to be very relaxing. I have played this CD about 12 times sence I received it.I just keep coming back to it."
