Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Brook's mediocre selections.......2006-07-28

Wow! Just enough to give to someone else. He was great,but this selection doesn't have enough of the goodies. As a woman in her mid seventies, I know what he could do.

1 out of 5 stars Not The Original Recordings!.......2006-04-30

I would like to warn potential buyers that this CD by Prime Cuts/St. Clair Entertainment Group are not the original hits. I have encountered other CDs from the same company that is advertised as "[Original Recording Reissued] [Original Recording Remastered]" which are also not originals. The Archies Greatest Hits as well as this CD is an example of this subtle deception. They disclose on the back of the CD that "This album contains new Stereo Recordings performed by the featured artist(s)." Given the obvious difference in sound of the most famous song by Brook Benton, Rainy Night In Georgia, I don't understand the other reviewers' high praises for a CD with Re-Recorded songs. By the way, the cover/front insert is not the same as you see on Amazon.

5 out of 5 stars Brook Benton - Greatest Hits.......2005-08-31

Awesome songs and makes me feel like I was back at home when listening to it.

4 out of 5 stars LIKE WALKIN' DOWN A RED CLAY GA., TOBBACO ROAD:).......2003-08-14

I FEEL LIKE IM SWINGING ON A SOUTHERN PORCH AND LOOKING OUT AT THE OLD SOUTH....JUST A FEELING.
FEELINGS EVOKED BY SULTRY & MASCULINE (BROOK BENTON).
THESE SONGS SHOULD NOT BE LOST TO TIME AND ITS AMAZING THE PRICE IS SO LOW---

I ALSO SUGGEST BROOK BENTONS 25 GREATEST TRACKS/RAINY NIGHT IN GEORGIA ON (PRISM LEISURE).

WHEN I LEFT ON A NIGHT BUS FOR THE AIR FORCE IT WAS "MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA" BY GLADYS NIGHT AND THE PIPS....THIS WOULD BE A GOOD COMPANION CD??
MY AIR FORCE TRAINING TOOK ME TO BILOXI MISSISSIPPI, THE GULF COAST AND NEW ORLEANS. WHAT A TREAT AND TIME TO REMEMBER FROM SMALL TOWN WYOMING TO THE CHARM AND HISTORY OF THE SOUTH:)

LIKE A BOY WALKING ALONG OLD RAILROAD TRACKS IN THE SOUTH...THESE TRACKS WILL TRACK WELL WITH ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. TOO BAD *RAP IS THE # 2 IN SO CALLED MUSIC TODAY??

I CANT SAY ENOUGH FOR THE 50'S CHANNEL ON SATILLITE RADIO....YOU LEARN THE SINGERS ON SONGS YOU HAVE ALWAYS HEARD BUT MAY NEVER HAVE KNOWN WHO PERFORMED THEM. ITS THE BEST [money amount]PER MO., I HAVE EVER SPENT!!!

1 out of 5 stars rainy night in georgia.......2003-01-12

Better listen to the version of the writer/singer of this song, viz.: Tony Joe White. The best "rainy night" ever.
Brook Benton is a marvellous singer. And the nicest songs of his are on on the album Remastered Originals.
Choose that one.
