Don't look for a richly illustrated, critical essay-packed hagiography with this 40-track, double-disc overview of the Bee Gees recording career. In typical, telling fashion, the Brothers Gibb have eschewed such exercises in ego inflation and simply let the best of their remarkable body of music speak for itself. Through it all, their familiar voices lock together in the sort of transcendent, seemingly genetic harmony that few singers since the Everly Brothers (early Gibb inspirations) have managed. Beginning with the plaintive 1966 hit "New York Mining Disaster 1941," this set traces the Gibbs' journey from successful Beatles-era balladeers to '70s white R&B gods and the undisputed kings of disco (we're reminded here that their shrewd metamorphosis began with "Nights on Broadway" and "Jive Talkin'"--long before the mega-success of "Saturday Night Fever"). But even as that dance craze faded, again threatening to turn the Bee Gees into pop anachronisms, the Gibbs simply stepped out of the limelight for a while, turning their talents to MOR hit-making for the likes of Samantha Sang, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Dionne Warwick. Those hits ("Emotion," "Heartbreaker," "Islands in the Stream") are featured here in modern rerecordings by the band, along with the Streisand-Barry Gibb duet, "Guilty." And if the Gibbs haven't had much of an American chart presence in recent years, they remain superstars throughout the rest of the world, a richly crafted pop music presence that simply won't be denied.

Neil Diamond is one of a rare breed. As a songwriter, his music has been covered successfully by artists as diverse as the Monkees, Deep Purple, UB40, and Smash Mouth. But Diamond used that three-chord alchemy to build an unparalleled career as a performer as well. The 38 tracks on these two discs address those interlocking legacies in the most comprehensive manner yet, gathering his material from Bang! Records (including such pop staples as "Solitary Man," "Cherry, Cherry," "Kentucky Woman," "Red, Red Wine," and "I'm a Believer"), Universal (highlighted by "Sweet Caroline," Song Sung Blue," "Holly Holy," and "I Am ... I Said"), and Columbia for the first time. And if Diamond has veered toward the middle of the road on those latter recordings (such as "September Morn," "Heartlight," and the Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers"), there remains a remarkable consistency throughout his work. As if to underscore the point, a number of mid-period hits (including "Shiloh," "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show," and "Soolaimon") are featured as live recordings from fall 2001. These performances show that the sweet roughness of his voice has only grown in power and drama; it's small wonder that Diamond remains one of the top live draws in the business. Even if it overlooks Diamond's unlikely late-'90s hit country album (Tennessee Moon), this set manages to be both concise and thorough, the best introduction yet to an American music legend.

That album really placed Celine among the great pop divas of the world: Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and others... some even compared Celine to Streisand! Many hits came from that album: in USA it was The Power Of Love, in UK it was Think Twice and in Japan it was To Love You More, that album also known good performances in the charts all over the world. Let's say simply that the album was 7 weeks on top of UK charts, at the same time as the single Think Twice, that's something that hasn't been seen since the Beatles, 30 years before! The Power Of Love was Celine's first #1 in US, it kept the top of the Billboard's Hot 100 for 4 week.

Tracklist
1. "The Power of Love" (Candy DeRouge, Gunther Mende, Mary Susan Applegate, Jennifer Rush) – 5:43
2. "Misled" (Jimmy Bralower, Peter Zizzo) – 3:30
3. "Think Twice" (Andy Hill, Peter Sinfield) – 4:47
4. "Only One Road" (Zizzo) – 4:49
5. "Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down" (Arnie Roman, Russ DeSalvo) – 4:01

Here's a second consecutive collection album of English songs. This one is featuring only old songs, songs that have been harder to find for fans who bought only regular CDs of Celine. This is especially true for American fans, because most of the songs on this album were distributed in most other markets on the planet. This is a US album distributed elsewhere too. It's distributed under the original title in North-America, Asia and Australia and under the title of Tout en amour (to confuse fans again) in Europe.

Tracklist:
1. "The Power of the Dream" (Linda Thompson, David Foster, Babyface) – 4:31
2. "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" (Robert White Johnson, Taylor Rhodes) – 4:33
3. "Us" (Billy Pace) – 5:46
4. "The Reason" (Carole King, Mark Hudson, Greg Wells) – 5:01
5. "Seduces Me" (Dan Hill, John Sheard) – 3:46

After the best-selling album "Falling Into You" (over 25 millions sold worlwide), which was on the theme of cover songs, this album is under the theme of contributions, and Celine had the BEST people you could dream of to join her. Could you imagine a music lover who wouldn't buy an album featuring Celine, Barbra Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti, Carole King and the Bee Gees? That album has it ALL!, plus many songs sung by the Adult-Contemporary #1 singer of the decade: Celine Dion!
