Customer Reviews

What? No 5 stars? Why? Read on...
I love Elkie Brooks' music and this certainly captures some of her finer moments.

But a 'Best Of' compilation can only cherry pick the tracks that have come from a long line of albums, which in themselves show the style of the singer at that time.

So whilst these tracks are great to listen to, do yourself a favour and pick a couple of her other albums *first* - then come back to this one to get all the great tracks in one place, but having the background to really appreciate them.

Great voice, always lacked good material.....
Ah, the female Rod Stewart or Chris Rea (in voice that is, not looks!!). Elkie Brooks has always been a little overlooked, which is a shame, as she has a fantastic smoky voice, in the vein of Bonnie Tyler. As this compilation shows though, her greatest hits are mostly cover versions of other people's, and she never carved out her own sound, or image, and so fell under the radar. Although a little 'easy listening', this compilation is an excellent introduction to a talented singer.

The voice
Elkie has always been her best belting them out!! . But without doubt ELKIE can sing anything and boy can she sing. There is no other female singer in the U.K. that has this ability. And her live performances are stunning!!!
