5 of 5 Great compilation Wednesday, September 03, 2008
A Listener from SW Florida
Great compilation of his stuff that I remember from the late 1960's, and the 1970's. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 The greatest American songwriter. Ever. Tuesday, August 05, 2008
Jeff A. from Coventry, RI
I already have all of the albums these songs are from, but for anyone that wants to sample the genius of Randy Newman, this is a great start. Yes, contrary to popular belief, Short People isn't the only song he's ever done! Was this review helpful?

2 of 5 Family Guy Tuesday, August 05, 2008
A Listener from Fargo ND
Ever since the TV Show Family Guy mocked Randy Newman in their Y2K episode I have not been able to take him seriously. If you buy this CD don't ever watch Family Guy because it will ruin this CD for you "Little lady chewin' on an apple, one bite, two bites". Was this review helpful?
