Title: One star for each diva...
Review: This is a weird compilation by K-tel. First with the Ms. Turners' tracks we get her singing in an unfamiliar country setting. She lends her vocal energy to these songs, but the arrangements are pretty much standard stuff, twanging guitars etc. No source of material or recording dates are listed. My further research found they come from the early to mid 70s. Perhaps completists will find this of interest, but those wanting the "Queen of Rock" will be disapointed. The tracks from Gloria Gaynor are more in line with what she is famous for. However, two key songs "I Will Survive" and "Never Can Say Goodbye" are heavily synthesized remakes, not even close to the originals' musical energy. In the cover of "Everytime You Go Away" Gaynor delivers nothing new or special. I don't see the point of this K-tel mish-mash. You'll be better off with a separate album for each diva!
