Great Music

A Good Collection of Song from the Sixties

It is a well-put-together collection, so much so that I almost bought it...until I realized that I already had every song, in the same order, from another Collectables CD release - WCBS FM 101.1 25th Anniversary, Vol. 2: The 60's - Silver Anniversary Edition; this was a "limited edition" release previously put out in 1997...you may be able to get this older CD cheaper, and they are the same thing.
That only goes to attest to the popularity of the compilation, and the fact that WCBS 101.1FM originally chose the songs means something - they are a great oldies station in New York. July 7, 2008

Great Music!

I am using this "oldie" music to educate my grandchildren. We always play it when we are going someplace in the car and they just love it. They really get into some of the songs and our car just rocks! June 9, 2008

Good CD

I bought this cd along with another 60's cd and my mom loves them both. February 28, 2008

and the nostalgia continues...

The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 60's has lots of great `60s tunes that are sure to bring back great memories and introduce newcomers to this genre at the same time! The sound quality is rather good, too.

The Tokens do a great job on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight;" they harmonize and sing this to perfection. I love that rockin' beat that swings back and forth as the song goes along so well. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is an excellent `60s ballad. The Monkees also turn in a great performance on "Daydream Believer;" their sound is quite good and catchy, too! The like the subtle key changes along the way and "Daydream Believer" is a song many people can enjoy.

Little Peggy March never sounded better than when she sings "I Will Follow Him;" her voice is as clear as a bell and this always impresses me. Jay & The Americans also give a great contribution with their awesome "Cara Mia;" this was always one of my very favorite tunes from the 1960s.

Little Eva's "Loco-Motion" rocks and rolls just as good as the first time I ever heard it; and listen also for Spiral Starecase doing their fantastic ballad "More Today Than Yesterday." This bouncy little tune is a great celebration of love. Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" also ranks high on the list of highlights of this CD.

Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" shows off his great talent as he sings this to perfection. Lulu also does a bang-up job on "To Sir With Love." Lulu sings beautifully and hers is another voice that is just as clear as a bell.

Dion's "Donna The Prima Donna" has a great beat as Dion sings of a girl he doesn't really like so much anymore; and The Happenings turn in an innocent and sweet number with their "See You In September."

Overall, fans of that great `60s music will want this CD in their collections. People just finding out about this style of music will not regret this purchase at all.
