Customer Reviews:

Sad so many reviewers missed the point!.......2006-01-13

My goodness, so much complaining! I originally found this collection on cassette for less than five bucks and would have paid much more for this treasure. Think of it as "the portable King", and be grateful that you can be fully enlightened even by fragments heard between getting gas and buying groceries! I'm afraid it's easy to get jaded in this ironically sound-byte driven era of MP3s &"more for less money" and miss the point -- this man of God offered more "meat" in 30 seconds than most people do now with 30 minutes of blather. Especially in a time when many don't know of King's name as more than cause for a day off of work or school, a gathering of these "nuggets" might just begin to get their attention, so they can then seek more. Don't feel ripped off because you didn't get the minimum number of minutes of his "melifluous tones" for your money, but rather marvel at how much heart he packed into every word and give glory to the God the man served!

Dissapointment.......2005-03-04

Even at $6.99 this CD is over priced. With the exception of "Address to the American Jewish Committee" and Dr. King's Entrance into Civil Rights Movement", all that is provided are very minimal sound bites. The "I have a Dream Speech" only includes the final culmination of his address. In order to appreciate Dr. King as an orator, his speeches must be heard from the absolute beginning to the end. What made the I have a Dream Speech so great was the way that Dr. King located his groove and began to flow into his spiritual roots. I was greatly disappointed by this collection.

Don't do it.......2004-03-19

Very little substance. You can't get "into" the speeches because the excerpts are more like sound bites. Look for a better deal.

Missing the learning factor but it's still KING! (3.5 stars).......2003-01-21

I was very excited to get this CD home but to my disappointment, some of the tracks were just the very famous MLK. Jr. quote or key on-liners taken out of context from speeches that we really need to know more about. We need to hear more of these speeches just to understand the significance and the strength of King's words and the content of which they came from.

However, although most of these speeches are abruptions, King's voice alone does wonders for the soul. At least the "I Have A Dream Speach" is given to us in it's entirity.

Not one of the better collections.......2001-06-06

This is not one of the better collections of Dr. King's speeches, as these are minor excerpts that are far too short. I would recommed "The Great March To Freedom" (1963 Detroit speech, full of barbed humor and excellent points), "The Great matrch on Washington" (entire Dream Speech), "Free At Last" (Mountaintop Speech) and best of all, the "A Call To Conscience" CDs that have all of the above and then some. Also, the breif but powerful Birmingham excerpt from "Sing For Freedom."
