1 out of 5 stars It will kill you........2007-01-31

This is impossibly annoying. I was hoping for a collection of powerful and important speeches. I had no idea that someone would put a jingle in the background of all of them and dirty any pleasure that I had hoped to enjoy. This album is dirty.

I can only imagine that this was done to ensure some sort of copyright over the product to boost some abstracted idea of future profit. I sincerely hope that people do not buy this item if only to punish this behavior to stop its spread.

This album will kill you.

4 out of 5 stars inspiring and educational.......2004-11-24

I was basically looking for Martin Luther King Jr's speech and bought this CD. Though the background music gets old pretty quickly, the sound quality and speech selection is spot on. Listening to these various great speeches, I definitely got a better sense of history while learning new insights into powerful public speaking.

4 out of 5 stars Powerful speeches.......2002-05-01

Presented here are 16 fascinating speeches by key historical figures of the 21st century. I listened to the CD to get an understanding of both the contents of the speech and the emphasis of the voice used to convey the dynamics of the situation. These are very powerful speeches and my 3 preferred ones from this selection are
1. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King (Address to the civil rights marches)
2. President john F. Kennedy (The Cuban Missile crisis)
