"When Your Life Was Low," one of this album's four writing collaborations between former Crusaders keyboardist Joe Sample and pop's hack-for-hire Will Jennings, is typical of this CD's low aim and artistic laziness. The vague expression of friendship in "Life," voiced listlessly by the technically adept but boring Lalah Hathaway, is perfect for the office-ready smooth-jazz radio format and little else. Hathaway's appearances on 7 of The Song Lives On's 11 cuts are a blessing only in that they break up the monotony of Sample's in-one-ear-and-out-the-other noodlings; her extremely unnecessary version of "Fever" and a dull-edged remake of the Crusaders/Randy Crawford classic "Street Life" are résumé fodder and little else. --Rickey Wright
From Jazziz
Most of the songs on keyboardist Joe Sample's The Song Lives On feature vocalist Lalah Hathaway, daughter of R&B singer Donny Hathaway. "I've never been a formulaic Top 40 songwriter," says Sample, best-known for his pioneering jazz-soul band the Crusaders. "Usually, the singers - like Randy Crawford or Al Jarreau - who have done well with my tunes are great interpreters. Lalah has those same instincts." Sample's trio for the recording features bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Walfredo Reyes Jr.

Disney's Greatest 3

Cynical types will accuse Disney of milking the "greatest" concept until it's drier than Tinkerbell's fairy dust ("Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious," "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da," and "Heigh Ho" were hits off of Vol. 1; "Bare Necessities," "It's a Small World," and "Some Day My Prince Will Come" stole the show on Vol. 2), but a glimpse of this installment's track listing is all it'll take to squash their suspicions. Once again running reverse-chronologically, Vol. 3 opens with Jonatha Brooke's gorgeously achy ballad "I'll Try," from 2002's arguably not-so-great Return to Neverland, and gradually reaches back through the years to re-raise the curtain on Toy Story 2 ("When She Loved Me," performed by Sarah McLachlan), The Lion King ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight"), Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews's classic "A Spoonful of Sugar"), Pinocchio ("Give a Little Whistle"), and a bundle of treasured others, bottoming out at 1933's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" from The Three Little Pigs. Vol. 3 is not without its weak moments--would a G-rated movie-goers' poll produce Beauty and the Beast's "Gaston" or The Hunchback of Notre Dame's "Topsy Turvy" on a hits list? Seems unlikely. Still, the bulk of these tracks are, as the included Little Mermaid song goes, "Part of Your World," and the spread of decades they represent proves their staying power. Don't expect Disney to latch the lid on its inexhaustible archives until a dozen or so of these records, each as strong as the next, beckon you back for more. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:

English Songs of the Middle Ages - Sequentia
Sequentia Manufacturer: RCA ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD Similar Items:
ASIN: B000001TW9 Release Date: 1992-12-03 |
Amazon.com
If you're looking for medieval songs in English, you'll find a disappointing number of surviving manuscripts--not even enough to make up a Top 40. Among the 20 or so pieces that remain are tantalizing hints at the richness and attractiveness of this long-vanished body of repertoire. The singers and instrumentalists of the early music group Sequentia are happy to tantalize us, and these 13 songs--including the classic "Bryd one brere" (Bird on briar), the familiar carol "Edi be thu, heven-queene," and several enticing instrumental numbers that sound almost like Scottish reels--remind us that not all medieval music resided in cloisters and cathedrals. --David VernierCustomer Reviews:
A gem! both Barbara Thornton and Benjamin Bagby at their best in some of their earliest work........2007-04-14
A great! rendition of these very old magnificent treasures of English early sacred music.
The instrumental accompaniment and solos are nicely paced and spaced - wonderful execution. My very first of many Sequentia albums (bought it about 15 years ago and it is still my favourite) - and cheap too. Great Sound, superb musicality, nothing but superlatives ... a must for all medieval collections and Sequentia fans.
