Disco de Cher: “20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: T”
 Descripción (en inglés) :
Producers: Snuff Garrett, Bob Esty.
<p>Compilation producers: Andy McKaie, Mike Ragogna.
<p>Includes liner notes by Mike Ragogna.
<p>Digitally remastered by Eric Labson (MCA Music Media Studios, North Hollywood, California).
<p>Madonna-like in her ability to reinvent herself, Cher has enjoyed a long and storied career. She touched on folk-rock with then-husband Sony Bono in the 1960s, took on both neo-hippie and disco-diva personas in the '70s, indulged in MTV video glam in the '80s, and by the new millennium was resting high atop the charts with "Believe." This well-curated collection focuses mostly on her early-to-mid solo career, and includes the classics "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" and "Half Breed," as well as her first disco smash, "Take Me Home," and demonstrates how it's personality--not necessarily great vocal chops--that really sells a pop song.

- This is a fitting Tribute to Cher's 70's work
Ok, It took them a long while, but this compilation is not only impeccably remastered but it includes the disco anthem Take Me Home in it's full disco version, and it sounds great with Snuff Garrett's high level pop productions.It has left out "Melody", a maudlin no charter from the previous MCA Greatest Hits, and the pictures and liner notes are fitting to the production. A great and notable inclusion is Cher's number 7 single with Sonny "All I Ever Need is YOU". Cher's distinctive contralto is a wonderful signature in the world of pop. Understatement isn't everything!Cher is very convincing as an actress telling stories of a blue collar gal with the world nipping at her heels in the number 1 Gypsies Tramps and Thieves, Half Breed( also a number1) and Carousel Man, a real entertaining saga of a carnival worker!Only Cher could make these fly out of the country genre! 2 personas de un total de 2 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- For God's sake, someone DON'T stop this train!
No matter how many times every comedian in America has tried to imitate her, it's true that no one before her or since ever sang quite like Cher, with her absurdly sultry and dark voice and her powerful way of phrasing. These classic songs from the start of Cher's solo career were some of the finest musical moments of the Seventies. You not only get her most famous ballads, "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves," "Dark Lady," and "Half-Breed" (dig those groovy war chants in the background during the chorus!), but you also get some of her best unknown songs: the lovely torch number "I Saw a Man" and my own very, very favorite, "Train of Thought" (why wasn't it a hit?). - A "Must Have" for Cher Fans.
Sound quality, while not up to SACD standards is surprisingly good & quite a bit better than acceptable. It's a great sampler for new Cher followers, and a "must have" for die hard fans. aaron (utah, usa) - 30 Enero 2000

- Cher does it again
I have said it before, and with this album, everyone will say it again, Cher rocks! Each song on here is a bona fide winner, each new tune a unique painting of vocal ecstacy. I love every song on this puppy, and if you give her a whirl you will too! |
