5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Summary of Avalon's First Seven Years..........2007-05-04

"Christian music will never be the same..."
That sentence has probably been said by a lot of people regarding the arrival of one of Christian music's biggest phenomenons: AVALON. The vocal quartet, known for their smooth harmonies, has received:

Twenty-five Dove Award Nominations
Three Dove Awards
Three GRAMMY nominations
An American Music Award
Two RIAA-certified Gold albums
Over 3.5 million albums sold
Twenty #1 hit singles (Sixteen of which are featured on this album)
Several television appearances
and more.

Although Avalon has been lavished with success throughout the past 12 years, they are definitely familiar with sorrow and misfortune. (They've had more success than misfortune!) They've had several member changes, as Nikki Hassman-Anders, Cherie Adams, and Michael Passons have all left the group. That's not including Jody McBrayer, who just recently announced that he will be leaving the group as well in January of 2008 due to heart disease.

However, seven years after they began, Avalon released in 2003 "Testify To Love: The Very Best of Avalon" a collection of sixteen of their #1 hits. Smashes include:

"Give It Up" - the first we heard from Avalon
"Testify To Love" - the longest running #1 song of the 1990s
"Adonai" - 1998 Dove Award (Most Inspirational Recorded Song)
"The Glory" - huge #1 hit
"Wonder Why" - another #1

Also includes a special bonus cut from their Christmas record, the spine-tingling "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" (also done by Celine Dion).

Overall, this collection of songs summarizes the first seven years of AVALON...however, don't stop there!!

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING COLLECTION by BJ.......2007-03-03

This collection ROCKS!! Avalon is definitely my favorite group of all time! "New Day", a new recording, is extrememly catchy and one of Avalon's best. I really loved this one. "Everything To Me", another new recording, features Michael and Melissa with their amazing and powerful voices. "Pray" is fast and catchy with Jody's special vocal talent along with Melissa. Of course I loved all the huge #1 hits like: "Wonder Why", "Give It Up", "Testify To Love", "Can't Live A Day", "In Not Of" and "I Don't Want To Go" and MORE! I liked the bonus track, "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day", too. I would definitely recommend this CD to everyone! LOVE YOU AVALON!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME! .......2006-06-19

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CD'S THAT I JUST CAN'T LIVE A DAY WITHOUT LISTENING TO! AVALON HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME AND MANY OF THESE SONGS I KNEW, BUT DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS THEM SINGING IT UNTIL I PURCHASED THE CD. I WILL NEVER REGRET THIS PURCHASE!
MY FAVORITE TRACK IS #4 "EVERYTHING TO ME", ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS WHAT MY LORD IS TO ME!

4 out of 5 stars Good Sound, Very Good Lyrics.......2006-04-23

This is a strong collection of songs by Avalon. Although I've heard several of these songs, I have never had an Avalon CD before. I have been quite pleased with this group of songs.

The songs have solid Christian lyrics. The sound is a lighter pop sound. It is very upbeat and some of the songs are pretty catchy.

Some of the one that I particularly like are as follows: 'Everything To Me', 'Testify To Love', 'Adonai', 'Always Have, Always Will', and 'The Glory'.

This is definitely worth a listen.

5 out of 5 stars Great Cd.......2005-10-23

This is just an awesome cd and anybody into christian music would love it. New Day and Testify to Love are my favorite songs on this cd.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The very best of the Rev.......2006-03-19

I learned about Reverend Gary Davis's music by listening to a Hot Tuna concert DVD. Jorma and Jack mentioned him in their interviews. I quickly found this cd at Amazon.com and enjoyed hearing the real thing from the reverend in a very good recording.

5 out of 5 stars Great introduction to the man's work.......2003-09-30

My local record store was doing a promotion on this series, so I took a chance on this collection, and I'm glad I did. I'm pretty familiar with Chicago electric blues, as typified by Chess Records, but I've been wanting to go beyond that. This collection of Rev. Gary Davis's work is really strong, and the notes indidate the original label each track was taken from, making it easy to follow up and get additional CDs by him. I went back the next day and got all the rest of the CDs in the series, and I will report back when I have had a chance to absorb them.

    4 out of 5 stars Good for starters.......2007-04-29

    There is really no better way to start off your Rambo collection than with this CD. My personal favorites are "Tears Will Never Stain The Streets Of That City" and "We Shall Behold Him". Dottie Rambo is in her own league when it comes to writing gospel music, the same goes for Ronny Hinson, Gerald Crabb, and Carson Howard.

    This CD really makes a person wish that The Singing Rambos were still together. In my mind, they are one of the greatest southern gospel groups to ever step foot on stage. Give this CD a listen, and you will be introduced to some great vintage gospel.

    5 out of 5 stars The Best.......2006-11-10

    Finding it quite hard to find this kind of music in S.A it was really suprising how easy it was to buy this product and how soon it arrived from the states

    5 out of 5 stars When Choosing 'The Rambos' You Can Not Go Wrong.......2006-03-03

    Trio or not. Each member of the that family is a HUGE talent in their own right. Their music is SO well written, and annointed. My absolute favorite, is the towering gospel hit 'Tears Will Never Stain The Streets Of That City' from 1976. It was in the TOP 5 CHRISTIAN SONGS FOR 1976, some sources indicate it AS the #1 gospel song in 1976. I tend to agree. But, it does not stop there. All of their songs are absolutely AWESOME. I personally wish the album 'There Has To Be A Song' billed as 'The Soul Singing Rambos' were out on Cd. May I tell you? It touched my heart & soul! It is a masterpeice by ANYONE'S standards. Christian music just DOES NOT get better than this! Now, THAT last statement friends, is MY opinion........ the rest...... FACT.

    5 out of 5 stars Gospel Classic.......2004-12-12

    Dottie Rambo is the queen of gospel. Her songwriting is in a class by itself. The trio mentioned in the previous review is Dottie's husband and daughter and a very important part of Dottie and her music.

    5 out of 5 stars Dottie Rambo is Queen.......2004-02-06

    Dottie is the queen of song writers. I only have one complaint about this cd. The complaint is that is a trio group and not Dottie alone.

      This release is essential for any serious collection simply based on the fact that he had 3 Top 10 hits.

      All of these songs are original recordings. The booklet features a very cheesy bio. A release this important should have more imformative notes. No recording info is included either.

      This is an essential release.

      4 out of 5 stars Very best of Tommy Cash.......2001-07-19

      This CD is great for Johnny Cash fans. Tommy Cash almost sounds like big brother Johnny. The difference is interesting, and Tommy has a better voice then big brother. I wonder what Tommys career would have been, if there was NO Johnny Cash.

      5 out of 5 stars The Very Best of Tommy Cash.......2000-01-01

      Truly the "Very Best of Tommy Cash"! If you like country music, and a good sound this is the one to own.

      5 out of 5 stars The Cash Brother with a little more range..........1999-08-29

      Tommy Cash was my all time hero and his vocal range was just the same as mine, so for 2 years on Guam during the VN war I sang his tunes with my guitar every night....Tommy Cash always sounds great and these songs are fantastic, it is to bad his recording years were so short and his number of hits so small. I wish someone would have jumped in and saved his recording career.....Johnny Cash had the writing talent and Luther Perkins guitar style to be the big star in the family but Tommy had the better singing voice..it would have been great if Tommy Cash would have had Joe Souths or John Fogertys songs worked into country.......

        Product Description

        Straight outta Camden, NJ its Chocolate Star. Starting in 1980 Chocolate Star served as the outlet for the music of Gary Davis. Gary started Chocolate Star with his long time Camden compatriot Dennis DJ Jones after a few years spent under the wing of Peter Brown at P&P Records. But Garys storied involvement in music goes back further than that, having studied composition and arrangement with the late jazz great Manny Albam. Garys musical education actually started earlier than that as one of the people he learned the most from was his Uncle, famed jazz organist Richard Groove Holmes. When you combined the funk Mr. Davis inherited from Groove, with the street-sense of Peter Brown with the skillful composition and arrangements learned from Manny Albam, youve got Chocolate Star. Playing with a band composed of (very talented) people from his Camden neighborhood Davis released cut after cut of solid funk filled dance music. Theyre all compiled here, from the Joe Sample inspired Gee Dee, to one of first commercial releases to lay the beat down with a drum machine in The Pop. Of course prominently featured is the legendary mover Gotta Get Your Love. Chocolate Star The Very Best of Gary Davis has been assembled with Mr. Davis and whenever possible using Garys original masters. These cuts bridge the disco era, into Hop Hop and the earliest forms of House. Talented, versatile, and still able to get you out of your chair and shaking your behind... this is Chocolate Star. This is the very best of Gary Davis.

        2 out of 5 stars not what I was hoping for..........2005-06-08

        Based on the brief review in the All Music guides to both Soul and Blues, I thought this was going to be material from their early Vee-Jay period.

        Not at all! It's hopped-up post-Stax R&B, with Larry Graham style slapped bass & heavy drumming. If that's what you're after, this may qualify as 5 star material.

        As for me... I'd rather drink muddy water & sleep in a hollow log.

        In the typical "Collectables" tradition, there's no info concerning when or where this was recorded, or any details as to who wrote any of the songs.

        (But if you want some great 60's Gospel, the Collectables Vee-Jay two-fors are highly recommended.)
