LOVE THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally the Donny and Marie albums have been released on cd. I grew up with them and had the hugest crush on Marie. I loved their music and their television show. I saw them in concert 3 times.

These two albums were my favorite. The first does have some cuts from earlier releases but it was their first venture into more current pop music and had all the songs from their show. It does have them doing more solo work than duets but that is fine for it leads into the masterpiece NEW SEASON.

Right when the vocals start on AIN'T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING you know they have come into their own. The song and their voices combined are magical. I love this whole cd and the music is not dated. YOU BROKE MY HEART and NOW WE'RE TOGETHER are the biggest winners as is Marie's solo WHICH WAY YOU GOIN' BILLY.

Now to the remastering. All I can say is WOW !! It is crystal clear. The vocals sound amazing. I love what is happing. DANCING WITH THE STARS showed the country still loves Marie as Las Vegas shows that both are loved. I am ever so grateful to have my teen happy memoroes brought back to me with this quality music. I hear Marie and I melt. I now want her other solo early releases put out as well.

Highly recommend this cd. August 15, 2008

Finally in my hands!

I listened to the cassette and watched the show all in my teens.. now in my late 40's, having this CD is my hands is a dream come true.. been listening again and again... August 9, 2008

Sounds so good!!!

I have been and Donny and Marie fan for many years and have been waiting for these two albums to be re-released in CD form. I am soooo happy that it has finally happened. I have been listening to this cd almost non-stop since I received it a week ago. The songs are lyrically clean, the sound is really good and it really takes me back to my teen years. I have also found a new appreciation for the simplicity of the songs and music as an almost 40 year old adult. If you were a fan of the D&M show of the 70's this is a must have for your collection. Even if you are a new fan of Donny and/or Marie, you should have this cd. The compilation of songs on this cd is D&M at their best. Their voices blend so well and they really balance each other on the songs. It's a fantastic cd. July 24, 2008
