Editorial Product Review: :It'd be hard to imagine a happier wish than the one this jazz vocal legend offers her listeners on this urbane-yet-homey collection of holiday favorites. The First Lady of Song recorded these tunes in 1960, at the peak of her interpretive powers. As such, she puts her singular stamp on everything from a sultry vamp like 'What Are You Doing New Year's Eve' to the sweet and cozy 'The Christmas Song.' Even potentially shopworn standards like 'Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town' sound fresher when they're coming from Ella Fitzgerald. --David Sprague
Editorial Product Review:Album Description:The landmark musical's first-ever Broadway revival!

Editorial Product Review: :2006 studio album that reflects the multi-national character of the group; the songs are not all sung in English, but drift between Spanish, English and Italian. However they are worded, all use the emotional Esperanto of love. The group's debut album, IL Divo hit the #1 slot on both and Barnes and Noble.com after a breakout career-defining appearance on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (April 5, 2005) where the quartet performed its interpretation of Toni Braxton's ‘Unbreak My Heart (‘Regressa A Mi’).

As the awkward high school student-client who asks the typically romance-jinxed Ally to his senior prom, Groban performed this debut album's 'You're Still You' (adapted from film-composing legend Ennio Morricone's Academy Award-nominated score for Malèna, with lyrics by Linda Thompson) as a ...
Editorial Product Review: :Siempre, Il Divo's third swipe at the snobs who aim to relegate classical crossover to retirement community socials and suburban dentist offices, is as apt to snare listeners as either of its first two multimillion-selling discs: the singing is as rich and romantic, and the material as warm and enveloping. If there's anything missing, it's an overdue sense of adventure--tracks like 'Nights in White Satin' and 'Somewhere,' like 'Unbreak My Heart' and 'All by Myself' before them, provide enough adult-contemporary swagger to keep anyone who has owned a couple of Streisand CDs ...

Little ones can sing along with Lionel Hampton's 'Rag Mop' and share in the hand claps on 'When the Red, Red, Robin ...

Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.
