Title: Musical and operetta selections
Product review: The "Hollywood Greats" CD is a nice collection of musical selections from the operettas: Roberta, The Student Prince, The Desert Song, Naughty Marietta, and The Merry Widow. The songs showcase the marvelous voice of Gordon MacRae and his flexibility for singing many different types of music, be it fast numbers or beautiful love ballads. On this CD, Anne Triola sings on three numbers, but she is no match for MacRae's great voice; however, Lucille Norman, his other singing partner, is!! Her beautiful soprano blends perfectly with his golden baritone. MacRae's beautiful, sensual renditions are overwhelming! He can sing tenderly and softly one minute and then powerfully the next, and his diction is so clear that you can understand every word. This group of music was taken from records released in the 1950s featuring Gordon MacRae. My only complaint is that it does not include selections from The New Moon and The Vagabond King, which he also performed.
