Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on this.......2004-10-01

The music itself might be good, but the sound quality is horrible. I suppose it's because of limited technology available in these old days, but the smothered sound really irritates me and ruins any enjoyment the music might bring.

Oh, and one more thing. If I had known that this CD used copy controlling technology then I wouldn't have ordered it. It's not right that I am prevented from putting into my iPod the music I paid for fair and square!

5 out of 5 stars Discover Adamo!.......2004-03-06

It will be a most rewarded journey for You, and this collection of wonderful songs of Adamo will bring You pleasures for years to come. The "Cýst ma vie" collection covers many of Adamoýs best songs and I believe that after hearing this double CD You will spend a lot of time geting more and more CDýs from Adamo. You can almost turn every song of Adamo into a hit, change the language and wops! You got a hit... and still there is so much of the best french touch that You can get!
By the way, did You know that Adamo have sold more than 80 million records around the world. I have his music in Italiano, Spanish and of course French, I discovered him in 1966 and still like his songs and voice as much as ever. Few composers and singers if any can much Adamo, a man with much also much integrety. Cýest la vie!

5 out of 5 stars a great collection of Adamo's 40 best songs.......2003-12-03

Although relatively unknown in the United States, Salvatore Adamo, a Sicilian-born Belgian who sang mostly in his native language, French, was very popular in Europe, South America, and the Far East (Korea, Japan, etc.) in the 1960s and early 1970s. There are two groups of people who love Adamo's chansons. One group is avid fans who try to collect all of Adamo's albums that are available. Then there are people who just like to listen to some of Adamo's songs which they used to enjoy when they were younger. This 2-CD set (C'est Ma Vie: Les Plus Grands Succýs) is a great choice for the latter group, which includes me.

I used to listen to Adamo's songs (such as "Tombe la neige", "Inch'Allah", "En blue jeans et blouson d'cuir", "Une meche de cheveux", "La nuit", "Sans toi, ma mie", etc.) when I was growing up in the 1960s and as a college student in the 1970s. Unlike some of Adamo's recently-released albums which contain recently re-recorded versions of old hits, the 40 hit songs in this collection sound to me like the original versions recorded when Adamo was young (but I could be wrong). Thirty-eight of the songs are from the 1960s ( beginning with "En blue jeans et blouson d'cuir", 1962), and only two are from the 1970s ("C'est ma vie" is the latest one, 1975). This CD set comes with liner notes by Thierry Coljon, author of the biography "Adamo-C'est sa vie", and includes seven b/w and color photos of Adamo.

For fans for whom these 40 hits are not enough, a new 12-CD set, "C'est ma vie (l'intýgrale 1962/1975)", has just been released in France, but I'm not sure whether it will be available in the United States. However, the 40 songs in the 2-CD set (C'est Ma Vie: Les Plus Grands Succýs) probably would be more than good enough for most people. For those of us who lived through the 1960s and 1970s listening to Adamo's beautiful songs, this collection should make us nostalgic for the days when we were much younger and more emotional.
