 Yvonne Elliman music lover
Submitted on: 2009-10-03 |

| I've been a huge fan of Yvonne Elliman's music and have been searching for these songs that I used to listen to on her lp's (before CD's came out). Now I can reminisce back to those days! Her music soothes me and I can listen to this over and over again. I've searched on music sites but was unable to find anything until I found it on AMAZON! Thank you! |

A wonderful surprise

I purchased this 'collection' solely for the wonderful Barry Gibb penned song "IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU (I DON'T WANT NOBODY BABY) but was stunned at the musical fluidity of each and every track. From her sweetly pastoral ballads on through to her more charged anthems and heartbreak songs, Yvonne Elliman sings with a sense of womanly elegance and tenderness unheard of from modern performers. Sarah McLachlin comes closest but her maudlin lyrics and synthesizer heavy instrumentation relegates her to a distant incomparibility. The only two modern female artists who can compare are Basia Tzretzrelewska and Heather Nova.
I wonder if Yvonne Elliman's career was forever scarred by her association with the Brothers Gibb (Bee Gees) nauseating disco brand... but any listener of her music from this collection would hardly detect even hints of disco from this mature and lovely songstress.
If you are not aware of Yvonne Elliman, then please do yourself a favor and purchase this wonderful collection. Your stereo system will be forever greatful.
Once it was beleived that music could change the world. Instead music died with the likes David Bowie, The Police, Madonna, and those who followed.
Yvonne Elliman's ULTIMATE COLLECTION reminds us of the artistry that once dominated the airwaves. The world changed, but not for the better... our musical angels from long ago must be crying. At least we have their recordings to take away our tears. |

Yvonne's finest compilation!
Submitted on: 2009-03-06 |

| This is a great collection of Yvonne's. All favorites are on this cd. Her "Love Me" LP was one of my favorite's and many songs are on here. Yvonne concentrated on her family and that's commendable. I wished she was able to still record a few more works during that period though. She has a unique voice also, up there with Gloria Estevan. |

Beautiful Lady Sings Beautiful Songs !
Submitted on: 2007-11-08 |

| I never really paid much attention to Yvonne Ellimans' early career consisting of JC Superstar and supporting the comeback of EC as a backup singer. I must say that on late night FM radio, circa 1976, she did catch my attention with her truly beautiful and sentimental renditions of songs that made me buy her LP "Love Me", a song written and recorded by The Bee Gees. Friends told me she was Hawaiian - no point. In 1977-78 when the "Satuday Night Fever" movie and soundtrack were the rage everywhere, I had to ask someone Who? is singing "If I Cant Have You"- What- The first Gibb Brothers song to be a huge hit by someone else??? As my title states a Beautiful Lady Sings Beautiful Songs! Try it, you'll love it. |

Yvonne Elliman ~ The Collection
Submitted on: 2007-03-11 |
|
| The most extensive collection of Yvonne's hits. For example, "She'll Be The Home" which was the B side of "Hellow Stranger" can only be found on this disc. There are other great songs. The recording is excellent and leaves the listener yearning to locate all of Yvonne Elliman's albums that unfortunately have not been released on cd. |
