While in Jr. High in the early 60's, I remember first hearing Jackie's raw and earthy voice on her first big hit "You Won't Forget Me" (this should have been included in this collection!) which I ran out and purchased on 45rpm and still have to this day and never forgot Jackie DeShannon!! Every new release such as "Needles and Pins" and "When You Walk In The Room" were always something to look forward to and each today stands as the definitive version. When "What The World Needs Now Is Love" was released in the mid-sixties it became one of "the" athems of the 1960's!!! The soulful beauty of Jackie's voice on this masterpiece is breathtaking to behold and today this great song stands as a timeless classic. Burt Bacharach did another classic with Jackie and that is the title song of this wonderful collection the hauntingly beautiful "Come And Get Me" which I felt should have been a much bigger hit than it was. Nobody really can top Jackie's earthy blue-eyed soul delivery and to really cover her brilliant 60's-70's period a BOX SET would be necessary to serve justice to Jackie and her fans!!! But for a quick overview this collection serves very well until a Box Set comes along. Stand outs abound here such as a great soul infused version of "I Can Make It With You" and the late 60's mega-hit athem "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" which sounds as great today as when it was first released! "Ease Your Pain" from the great "Songs" collection from the early 70's is still the most stirring version of this standard and "Vanilla O'Lay" should have been a huge hit if it would have been properly promoted. "You Touch And You Go" is a soulful rocker from 1974's great "Your Baby Is A Lady" album and this great work has yet to be released on CD and should be!!! Brian Wilson joins on the enchanting "Boat To Sail" from the classic "New Arrangement" album which is thankfully available as an import and another highly recommended collection!! CLosing this great set is the haunting "I Don't Need You Anymore" from the motion picture "Together" which was scored by Burt Bacharach. Jackie recorded so many great things throughout the 70's which were ignored except by her hardcore fans and as a result of that we had to wait twenty years for a new recording and that one is another classic!! "You Know Me" is another highly recommended collection for those who love vocal art in its highest form! Thank You Jackie for forty plus years of greatly moving masterpieces!!! Keep them comming!!!

Imperial Records tried to sell Jackie DeShannon as "Lady Love" in the late 1960s when her Catherine Deneuve/Francoise Dorleac flower child look was selling mildly psychedelic folk rock LPs like the brilliant "To Be Free" and "Put A Little Love In Your Heart." It was just one of the many guises DeShannon put on over the years to score in the marketplace. She came on early like a female Buddy Holly ("Buddy," "Baby"), a one woman girl group ("Hold Your Head High," "Should I Cry?"), Dionne Warwick and Supremes homages ("Come and Get Me" and the other Burt Bacharach productions and the "Are You Ready for This?" LP respectively) and more. She even did her versions of a Joni Mitchell LP ("New Arrangement"), her own "Dusty in Memphis" for Atlantic ("Jackie") and her Fleetwood Mac album, "You're the Only Dancer," with the dead-on Christine McVie soundalike, the great "Don't Let the Flame Burn Out." I grew up listening to Jackie DeShannon. She put out so many albums, many more than her generally more commercially successful peers, and the quality was conistent. Her voice is like burnished honey with a generous helping of seasoning salt blended in, and she sings with a great deal of heart and soul. She was a quick study, and could master whole genres of music as a vocalist and songwriter quickly. 29 excellent representations from her profilic output are presented here on this fine anthology, lovingly compiled by the fine Australian music writer, Glenn A. Baker. It must have been daunting to try and whittle down so many superb recordings to just 29, but Baker has done a proficient job. Standouts include the emotional "I Cab Make It With You," coy 60s statement "A Proper Girl," sweet Jimmy Webb cover "A Girls' Song" and the revelation of this CD for me, "I Don't Need You Anymore," a soundtrack ballad produced by Bacharach in 1980 that was dismissed by critics and the public when first released, but today sounds like 2:53 of sheer nirvana.

For committed fans of Jackie DeShannon, and count me in as one, this is a bit of a mixed delight. No question that the 29 songs, 75 minutes don't represent Jackie at her best, from 1958's rockabilly "Buddy" to 1980's sublime movie ballad "I don't need you anymore.
The plus points: nice recording quality, excellent liner notes with well chosen photographs, and a good choice of songs. A newcomer to Jackie's work will enjoy this album - and particular congratulations to Raven Records for bringing together material from Liberty, Imperial, Capitol, Atlantic, Columbia, Amherst and RCA sources.
Less good points: the front cover picture, a blurred representation of a woman who looks nothing like Jackie DeShannon, is a disaster. Do they want to sell this record or what? And for those who do collect Jackie's material, this is an unadventurous choice of songs. Only 6 have not appeared on CD before, and I could seriously quibble in particular with the meagre and predictable selections from Jackie's Capitol, Atlantic and Columbia output.
I'd like to see a sequel to this exploring some of Jackie's lesser known early Liberty material (and what about the material she recorded in the 50s for 4 or 5 other labels before joining Liberty? And there is allegedly a lot of material "in the vaults" from Atlantic and later. It would be good to look at this in the context of contemporary material from Carole King, Joni Mitchell and others.
To conclude: a good selection for people new to Jackie, or those having a passing interest in her work and wanting to know more. Not so good value for the committed fan, as we've had most of it, on CD, before.
Next on the horizon, Jackie DeShannon's brand new year 2000 album. Can't wait!

new discovery for me
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012Verified Purchase
I vaguely recall hearing a few Jackie Deshannon songs when I was growing up in the US in the 1960s, but nothing really stuck with me. However, I love going back and discovering, or rediscovering, older artists from decades past, so I was intrigued by this compilation. I almost always enjoy the reissues that Raven Records puts together and this one looked good too, complete with thick booklet and lots of songs. Well, I have to be honest and say that I wasn't blown away. Maybe it's the song selection. From what I gather, this is not a proper "Greatest Hits" collection, but more of a career retrospective, possibly targeted to longtime fans who wanted a variety of her songs on one disc. But for me, there just aren't enough "wow" moments to make me a fan. She possesses a very soothing voice, one that can handle a variety of material, but the songs themselves aren't ones that stick in my head. And did she really have to do a cover of "Bette Davis Eyes"? Not a highlight. But if you are remotely interested in Jackie Deshannon and her music, you still might enjoy this CD. It's a good deal, with 29 songs and over 75 minutes of music.

This is a very good collection of songs from the wonderful Jackie Deshannon. Some of her great radio songs and a few that I never knew she covered.

Jackie DeShannon's CD really hits the mark!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2000Verified Purchase
I can't believe how many songs Jackie sang that filled my youth: needles & Pins, ect. It was like meeting a long lost friend, after many years, and finding that she's grown better with age. The only thing that upsets me is that I went to two other "music" houses, and couldn't find anything by Jackie! I totally agree with Peter's review on the album cover photo: this is definetly not the way to sell CD's. jackie deserves better. But the quality of the CD, and Jackie.... Nice meeting you again my friend.
