"Almost every track is a winner! I enjoyed listening to the entire disc. This is all good stuff for practice and dance parties. Some of the tempos feel pretty slow and so they will challenge your strength and balance.



Tracks 1-5 are beautifully performed by an unnamed female vocalist. "Unforgetable" is sung as a duet, but this is not Nat and Natalie Cole. Tracks 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, and 18 are intrumental. The rest are by unnamed male vocalists. My only dissapointment is track 16 and what sounds like a synthesized flugglehorn. Don't let this slow you down. All of the rest for seven bucks is a sweet deal.



Here are the titles, durations, tempos, and a couple random comments:
