The McGuire Sisters - The McGuire Sisters - Greatest Hits

Brings back memories!

This CD brings back such happy memories of my childhood--my friends and I knew all the words to all their songs. I forgot just how good the McGuire Sisters were until I heard this CD. They really were the best!!

a golden nugget shining brightly !!!

The McGuire Sisters' Greatest Hits gives us twelve of their greatest hits, although to be truthful, a solid anthology of The McGuire Sisters would require more than twelve tracks and more than one CD. However, the artwork is good and the quality of the sound reflects an excellent remastering job.

The album ends with their smash hit "Sincerely;" this features the sisters harmonizing so well with a male chorus backup; and it all works very well. The sisters have a clean-but sound to them that is practically irresistible; I love it! "Something's Gotta Give" switches over to a swingin' melody with a big band flavor that can't be beat! The McGuire Sisters swing softly and slowly to make "Something's Gotta Give" a real masterpiece.

"He" has a gorgeous musical arrangement that hints at religious themes; and "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight" has a great horn arrangement while the three sisters harmonize the way they always could. The McGuire Sisters never sounded better.

"Ev'ry Day Of My Life" has more harmonizing with a sweet arrangement as the sisters pledge to be faithful to and loving toward their one true love; and this works wonders for the ballad. There's also "Sugartime;" this country flavored ballad gets the royal treatment from the McGuire Sisters and the men on backup enhance the ballad greatly.

"May You Always" is an enchanting number featuring the sisters wishing all the best to their beloved; and the album ends beautifully with "Just For Old Time's Sake." They do this last track great and I predict you'll like "Just For Old Times sake" very much.

Other reviewers note that this album shows off how The McGuire Sisters could sing almost any type of song and make it sound beautiful; and these reviewers are right! The McGuire Sisters were blessed with the wonderful, rare talent of being able to deliver many types of ballads and make them all seem magical. I hope many people get this CD and enjoy the magical artistry of the McGuire Sisters.

Wonderful music

A wonderful collection. I had my daughter stand by the crib of her infant and played "may you always" A parents prayer. Very moving.
Of course this could also be interpreted as a break-up song or the end of a high school or college career as friends part...but I prefer the "parent prayer" interpretation. Again very moving... December 23, 2006

Wonderful Music

I was thrilled to hear these lovely songs again, and enjoy the great blending of the McGuire voices. Brought back wonderful memories, and made me feel sad that young people today are missing out on what truly great talent actually is. August 27, 2005
