Les Paul & Mary Ford: Sweeter than ever on this starter CD !!!Nov 22, 2008 All-Time Greatest Hits is an excellent starter CD for people just coming to appreciate the artistry of Les Paul and Mary Ford when these two dynamos worked together. Their music was stunningly beautiful and even on an all-too-short CD like this one the listener can easily tell that this duo deserves much more listening time with more CDs by them.
The twelve numbers we do get are rather solid and very representational of what Les Paul recorded with Mary Ford. The CD starts with the charming "The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise;" but the action doesn't truly start up until the second number entitles "Tennessee Waltz." Although "Tennessee Waltz" actually belongs to the incomparable Patti Page, Les Paul and Mary Ford do great justice to this tune and Patti sure would approve! Mary sings effortlessly and there is a sound effect to make it sound as if there are two Mary Fords singing the lyrics to this ballad. The guitar solo by Les Paul is flawless as usual, too.
Other songs well worth mention include "Bye Bye Blues" with its fast tempo that makes you want to jump up and start dancing wherever you are; "Vaya Con Dios" which was one of Les Paul and Mary Ford's greatest hits ever; "I'm Sitting On Top Of The World" with its joyous message and "My Baby's Coming Home." "My Baby's Coming Home" has Mary Ford singing at her very best and she delivers this like the pro she always was.
Listen also for "In The Good Old Summertime;" this tune comes from a MGM musical with Judy Garland and Van Johnson. Les Paul and Mary Ford speed up the pace a bit and, with a side dish of country flavor, make "In The Good Old Summertime" yet another highlight of this CD.
Unfortunately, there ARE better single CD compilations out there. However, for those of us on a budget, this CD makes a good place for you to start. It's also a value budget CD for people who want to decide if they truly are into Les Paul and Mary Ford enough to make them want to buy more CDs by this duo.
All in all, this is strictly a starter, budget CD--but that still has value for many of us out there. More serious fans will want better compilations on CD by Les Paul and Mary Ford.
Enjoy!
ExcellentAug 24, 2008 I purchased a CD as present for my mother, However when she recieved it ( we live in New Zealand) the CD had a fault ingrained into the CD. Amazon replaced the CD immediately, No Charge. Thank you for great service.
Genius in the 20th CenturyOct 11, 2007 Each generation thinks that we've invented everything from curse words to music to the wheel. It ain't necessarily so.
Les Paul is a living genius and a treasure. All of the people roaming around with their i-pods playing multi-track music don't realize that Les made it all possible.
Les Paul and Mary Ford may not be as well known as the Andrews Sisters or Bing Crosby, but they are of the same era. I think one of the reasons they are not as well known in some circles is that people didn't realize what they accomplished. Every track on this album contains music history - Mary Ford's vocals (and whenever you hear female harmony, it's her) are layered and beautifully harmonized. And Les Paul has forgotten more than most of ever knew about guitar.
What makes this most amazing to me is each track had to be laid over the previous with no mistakes. Imagine starting over from the very beginning of 5 or 6 or 7 layers if you make one mistake! It's easier to make a house of cards unless you have the technical virtuosity of Les Paul and Mary Ford.
Mary Ford passed away several years ago, but Les Paul is still going strong at Iridium in NYC Monday nights and the occasional concert at Kean University. See him live, there's nothing like it!

There Are Better Collections AroundSep 06, 2007 This collection, which came out in 1990, is typical of early CD releases: 12 selections and either minimal liner notes or none at all. In this instance, however, there is a single page of text on the reverse of the cover photo providing some interesting background.
A much better bet is "The Best Of The Capitol Masters" as it contains all the same selections save one, plus eight more. Here, however, you do get the wonderful and hard-to-find Mary Ford interpretation of Smoke Rings which made it to # 14 in the summer of 1952 b/w In The Good Old Summertime [# 15].
And the price is certainly right.
That's Why They Are on TopAug 23, 2007 Les Paul & Mary Ford's "All-Time Greatest Hits" probably does not do justice to all the wonderful songs they recorded in their career. The special sound created by this magical duo had a major influence on music, and the works contained in this album are representative of these efforts. The quality of re-mastering has brought forth a work of wonderful proportions, immersing the listener in that world of double and triple over-recording that thrilled music fans of the era, and which still endures.
