"Thank you Columbia/Sony for the release of this CD! MANY, MANY Vikki Carr fans have been waiting for this for years. Too little has been released of Vikki in English...I think it's time for a change! Sony mentions in the liner notes that they released this set because they were the most popular recordings, but you must also read BILLBOARD Magazine review section, since they recommend both of Vikki's releases, "Vikki Carr sings Adult contemporary music like no one else can" and you know what, she's only making more beautiful music these days!" If you like these recordings, wait to you hear them on CD, you will wonder why it took so long in the first place! Vikki, you are "One Hell of a Woman!""
Thanks for the Memories

"Back in the 70s when I was young and poor, all I could afford was a crummy 8 track player that I installed in my Chevy Vega. I can still remember cruisin' down the highway, with the so sweet voice of Vikki, singing her heart out to me, through those crummy little speakers over all that traffic noise. Even so, gosh, those are sure some great memories! But, I don't have my 8 track tapes any more, or my 8 track player, and I don't have my Chevy Vega any more. Now I'm older and richer (well, relatively) and I can afford a state-of-the-art stereo system right there in my home, and all that's been missing is some really great music to play on it. Until now. To listen to the so sweet music of Vikki Carr singing in CD quality on a fine sound system - folks, it doesn't get any better than that!!! Thank you Sony for releasing these two albums. But please don't stop now. Please release all of Vikki's albums on CD! And to Liberty/Capitol/EMI Records, what are you people thinking about? You are sitting on a treasure-trove of great music by Vikki. Please do the right thing and follow suit. And to Amazon.com - thank you for making this CD available. But about your ratings system - sometimes 5 stars are just not enough!"
It can never get better than VIKKI CARR!

"G R E A T CD! Take my advice - Vikki's CD - One Hell Of A Woman/Ms. America is just WONDERFUL! My God! What a voice! ...And "Six Weeks Every Summer, Christmas Every Other Year" was a terrific bonus addition...and you know what? It still makes me cry! After all of these years Vikki, you still touch my heart! WWW.VIKKICARR.NET is one of the most BEAUTIFUL, most creative websites I have ever seen! I Love it! And I Love you Vikki and your new CD!"

"One of my favorite LP's from our Vikki's Columbia days was "One Hell of a Woman". With this double release, Ms. America now has a special place in my collection. Hearing these albums (in their entirety) was a thrill for me. I'm so tired of compilations. When I was a kid buying Vikki's albums, I bought "An Album". I wasn't just buying a collection of her songs put together by someone who didn't really know her the we do, but a new experience, a new "Vikki" each time. I'm so tired of getting a new CD, only to have a few songs that I didn't have before. Now with the release of "It Must Be Him", and "Live at the Persion Room", I'm able to have, on CD, two ablums that meant so much to me when I was growing up. "Live at the Persian Room" was the first VC album I ever owned. And "It Must BE Him" is such a classic! Vikki-thanks for the Memories/Memorias. I was hooked on you then, and I'm hooked on you still. Your magic goes on and on. You do do it for me."
Again...WOW!

"You will find that there is NEVER a moment where this woman cannot impress the hell out of you...ONE HELL OF A WOMAN is definitely right! In fact, in my opinion, some times that is understatement. Please make sure you check this CD out...you will just have an absolute blast. You will find a wonderful variety of many of your favorites. She will once again warmly take your heart back to those days where every time you turned on the radio there would be another great song playing! And being the perfect vocalist that she has always been and still is, she can take any song and quickly make it her own. Smooth, clear, warm, sweet, passionate, dramatic, playful, and sexy! She truly touches you like no other! Thank you Sony and Collectables Music for bringing out these two fabulous albums on CD!"
