First of all, I love Andy Gibb and his music, but why is it so hard to find. It's not offered as a download on Amazon or on itunes. Could someone please enlighten me. Would purchase if it didn't cost an arm and a leg, but I guess that is the price you pay for good music.
I do not understand why cds by Andy Gibb are so rare. I enjoyed listening to a good collection of his music.
Andy Gibb was a very talented performer. This CD is a reflection of a life cut too short and Andy's great contribution to pop music during his era.
The musical arrangement reflects a lot of forethought as well; the strings help a lot. "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" is a tender love song that Andy delivers with panache and he wears his heart on his sleeve for this one. Andy sings very well and his voice is able to convey all the subtle nuances of the words that he sings. Unfortunately, this CD has only twelve songs of his and that doesn't convince me that this is a true "best of" compilation."I Just Want To Be Your Everything" stuns me with its beauty; I love to hear this tune by Andy and it always makes me smile when I hear it. 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Andy Gibb gives us twelve wonderful tracks by the awesomely talented late Andy Gibb. Casual fans of Andy Gibb will probably be satisfied with this album; but the more serious fan will undoubtedly want more than just this. "An Everlasting Love" has a faster, upbeat tempo that is positively infectious and I predict that you will enjoy "An Everlasting Love" very much. The key and tempo changes on "Shadow Dancing" really work well for this number, too.
The piano also works well for "Time Is Time.""Will You Love Me Tomorrow" ends the CD on a strong note with Andy doing a sublime cover of this fine ballad; I know you'll like this number very much. Andy sings "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" to perfection and this impresses me a lot."Shadow Dancing" has a pop/disco flavor to it and the backup vocalists help Andy's performance to be even better. Andy could take a song and breathe life into it in a way unlike most artists could; and his work here proves that. Andy sings "(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" with great sensitivity and I always liked this ballad."Desire" features Andy's vocals squarely in the spotlight; and listen for "Time Is Time." "Time Is Time" has excellent guitar work and Andy sings this well with a great backup chorus. "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" has that late `70s feel to it even though it's certainly not disco; Andy delivers this song with a lot of style and the musical interlude is very beautiful. They harmonize and Andy himself never sings a superfluous note. Overall, this music is incredible--there's just not enough of it. This gets three stars in my book for being too short and diehard fans would do well to find more substantial albums by Andy Gibb available on this website.
I was very pleased with this album.It has all the best songs and for the price it is well worth it.All the songs Sound as good as they did when they were released.I would recommend this album to everyone.
