|  | A Wonderful Gathering of Songs |  |
What a wonderful gathering of songs by Vonda Shepard. Ally McBeal was one of my favorite situation comedies. Am patiently waiting for the videos to come into the possibility of purchase for us in the United States.

I enjoyed this cd more than I thought I would - not being that much of an Ally McBeal fan. Vonda Shepard has an impressive voice and Robert Downey Jr was surprisingly good also! Al Green, Sting and Tina Turner topped it off perfectly. Good kick back and chill music.
August 21, 2004Must have cd for all Ally Mcbeal fans. All the tracks are wonderful. The duet by Vonda and Robert Downey Jr. stands out and also the solo performance 'Snakes' by Robert. I would say it an all time favourite. (-:
August 4, 2004 |  | Great CD, especially for Ally McBeal fans!! |  |
I really liked the songs on this CD as they relate to the show Ally McBeal of which I was a big fan.
I think Robert Downey Jr. is extremely talented musically and wish he would make his own CD. He has showcased his talent in many of his films and plays musical instruments and writes music as well. He has joined Elton John in concert recently. I think he doesn't get enough credit for his abilities both as an actor and a singer.
This CD is great, especially to Ally McBeal fans as I can picture scenes from the show when I hear the songs and it is like reliving some of the great episodes. January 3, 2004

It is impossible to listen to these songs without recalling the various episodes in which they were featured. That, of course, is one of the mysterious qualities of music - the evocation of past time, places and events. This really is a good collection of songs, especially from the bitter-sweet entry/exit of Robert Downey, Jr.
I disagree with the Amazon.com reviewer who criticized the performance of both Downey and Sting. I thought them both magnificent. It was quickly apparent that Downey was not a professional singer but the attempt was valiant and almost heroic. I think of all the action that occurred in that bar, how integral it was to the storyline. It was more important than the office in many ways. Barry White and Al Green shined in their solos performances but it is Vonda who carries the day, she being a star unto herself. Great album. January 1, 2004
