Music reviews of The Complete Hits of Linda Scott

Music Review: Resurrection of America's Most Neglected Sixties Girl Singer
Rating: 5 Stars

Back in the early sixties,I remember my mother buying two of Linda's first few hits - I've Told Every Little Star and I Don't Know Why - and I played them over and over and over. In my world, I was a male Linda Scott; but we won't go there. Linda had further hits in New Zealand, including Yessiree, Count Every Star, I Left My Heart on the Balcony and the superb Never In A Million Years. The Eric Records CD, The Complete Hits of Linda Scott, resurrects and restores the incomparably magic sound of Linda's sixties 45s. This CD is simply one of the best anthologies of an American sixties girl singer I've ever heard. The quality of the sound of the 22 tracks is consistently excellent. After ordering the CD, I had worried that the tracks might be fresh re-recordings and thus be devoid of the magic of the orginals. I'm pleased to say there is not one single re-recording on the CD(Bobby Rydell, please, please take note). That beautiful, clear, natural voice of Linda's is there, unadorned and expressively captivating. Listen to her achingly beautiful rendition of the forgotten gem by Jeff Barry/Artie Resnick, I Left My Heart on the Balcony (The orchestral accompaniment adds a further spine-tingling dimension).

Without hesitation I recommend this CD to all lovers of early sixties American pop. I'd like to think that some enterprising person will find a way to bring Linda's original sixties music to a wider audience and that it won't be too long before the name Linda Scott will find its rightful place alongside her sixties sisters, Brenda Lee and Leslie Gore.
