Music reviews of Best Of Eydie Gorme, The
Music Review: Definitely Not "The Best" If By That You Mean Her Hits
Rating: 3 Stars
I take a back-seat to no one when it comes to being a fan of Eydie Gorme. BUT, I definitely do not share the enthusiasm of some of the other reviewers when it comes to this particular CD. Not because the selections or the performance of each leaves something to be desired. Definitely not. I doubt if Eydie Gorme could possibly GIVE a bad performance.
No, the problem is, while claiming to be the "Best Of" it turns out that only two of the twelve selections even made the national Billboard Pop Top/Hot 100 - I'll Take Romance which went to # 65 Top 100 in 1957 and You Need Hands which peaked at # 11 Top 100 in 1958. Now, if Curb meant the "best of" in terms of selections from her many successful LPs then that's a different kettle of fish. However, they should have said so clearly on the cover because, to most people, the term usually means an artist's top charted single hits. But then again, Curb has a history of the practice of screaming "best of" or "greatest hits of" - and then not delivering.
It's not as if there wasn't a wealth of material with which to fill out a meagre 12-track release as she racked up 17 Top/Hot 100 hits from 1956 to 1972, including three as a duet with husband Steve Lawrence and one that crossed over to the R&B charts, another five that made the Hot 100 "bubble under" charts, including one with Steve, another 21 that scored on the Adult Contemporary (AC) listings after their introduction in late 1961 to 1979 (seven with Steve including the last, billed to "Parker & Penny"), and even a Country hit in 1973.
Some of her "best" missing here, for example, are Too Close For Comfort and Mama, Teach Me To Dance (# 39 and 34 respectively in 1956), Love Me Forever (# 24 in 1957), and Blame It On The Bossa Nova, her highest Hot 100 charter which went to # 7 AND # 16 R&B in 1963. In terms of the Adult Contemporary listings, how about I Want To Stay Here (# 8 AC and # 28 Hot 100 in August 1963), If He Walked Into My Life (# 5 AC and # 120 Hot 100 "bubble under" in June 1966); and Tonight I'll Say A Prayer (# 8 AC and # 45 Hot 100 in late 1969).
Any of those in place of the non-hits and THEN they could have claimed this to be her "best." As it is, it's a nice gathering of 12 of her library of cuts with decent sound quality, but nothing in the way of informative liner notes.
