Liner Note Author: Joseph F. Laredo. Carol Burnett Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   Carol - Forever Carol Burnett needs no introduction. The World has been in love with her for upwards of hmmph! hmmph! decades. It is indeed a crying shame that there exists only one album, but what an album it is. It showcases Carols many singing moods, and her versatility. From the soft and tender Carol, as in “If I could write a song” and “Who’s sorry now”, to power horse Carol in “Turn around look at me” and “Love’s the only game in town”, to zany Carol in “Saturday morning confusion”. Carol’s ability to slide smoothly from sweet and demure into full throttle is highly evident in “Love’s the only game in town”. It’s so effortless, the casual listener may not even have noticed. Carol’s poignant treatment of “Sunrise Sunset” and “Try to remember” makes ones hair stand on end and brings tears to ones eyes. Carol has never relied on musical gimmickry. All she needs is a simple arrangement and her magnificent voice and heartfelt feeling does the rest.
Carol injects her own magic into The Christmas Song (Torme & Wells). Ever since the Nat King Cole Trio first recorded it in 1946, it has been covered by the world’s greatest singers from Judy Garland to Barbra Streisand and by Mel himself in 1965. Carol is certainly amongst this esteemed group.
If I were to have one disappointment with this album, being the ONLY album Carol ever made, it would have been wonderful to have her signature song “I’m so glad we had this time together” aka “Carol’s Theme” on it. I remember Carol sitting on her cleaner’s bucket at the end of every season, and would sing the song is its entirety. And at the end of every season, I would cry buckets.
This album is of such historical and musical importance that no self-respecting Carol Burnett fan would be caught dead without a copy. And for those who are not Carol fans...get one anyone and be converted. Submitted by Bill Morton (Singapore) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

| | New Edition Home Again CD (1996)
Carol Burnett
$6.45 The inevitable reunion of one of the 1980s' biggest pop groups was a long time in the making. The seeds were sown in 1991, when solo stars Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant joined their three former bandmates, who had found stardom as Bell Biv DeVoe, on a version of the BBD single "Word To The Mutha" (on WBBD - BOOT CITY! THE REMIX ALBUM). The results were overwhelming, and demand for a full-fledged reunion began. Now, eight years after the last New Edition album, the band is back HOME AGAIN.
Much has changed in pop music since the group's 1983 debut, but somehow New Edition seems to stay current, and get better, with each album. The ballads are more mature now; "One More Day" sounds like Babyface-style soul. "Hit Me Off" is HOME AGAIN's Candy Girl-Cool It Now-Count Me Out-If It Isn't Love pop song, and it has a new jack swing to it--not too hip-hoppy, but just enough to keep up with the times. Whether it be Johnny's strong, gospel-influenced vocals, Ralph's soft-toned harmonies or Bobby's crooning, each member adds his own flavor to this band's recipe, and the combined talent makes this reunion truly delicious.
Producers include: Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Silky, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Chucky Thompson, Jermaine Dupri.
New Edition: Johnny Gill (vocals, acoustic guitar); Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, Mike Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell (vocals).
Additional personnel: Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Dinky Bingham, Stan Jones (various instruments); Mike Scott (guitar); Caroline Daws, Brenda Mickens, Helen Foli, Dick Massman, Laurie Hippen, Julia Persitz, Andrea Een, Liz Sobieski (violin); Alice Preves, Hasan ...
