2008-11-13This is a great compilation of the hits from the show. If you want to listen to hits from the 70's choose this it is a great find. Enjoyed playing over and over!
2008-11-01"Stephanie" and the 2 songs from the pilot are totally sought after. I am really glad it's now avaliable. I noticed "Together" had an additional vocal layering over the whole song than the TV pilot's version. Of course, that and "Let the good times in" doesnt include David Cassidy on the vocal. This makes it very rare. And to think this was all going to be The Cowsills show untill their parents opted out. Too bad for them. I wonder if there is a "Stephanie" version fully recorded by Bobby Sherman?? However, this is a great treat for fans and they need to release other unreleased songs from the series episodes. Great job!
What about the orginal opening "When we're singing"? Will that be avaliable soon?
2008-10-21This CD is a lot of fun...brings back great memories and reminds you of songs you can't beleive you still remember the words too! It is the first time many of them have been avaliable on CD. ENJOY!!
2008-08-14I grew up on the Partridge Family (way better than the Brady Bunch) and while I loved the show, it was the music that made the Partridge Family such a hit. Obviously, the Partridge Family is David Cassidy since none of the other case members (except for Shirley Jones on the show) actualy sang. That's why I'm suprised to find "Let the Good Times in" and "Together (Havin' A Ball)" on this CD since David Cassidy doesnt sing on either of these 2 songs.
But nonetheless, this is a great collection for Partridge Family fans. With the possable exception of "Stephanie," all of the songs are great examples of sweet lyrics, great vocals (those amazing harmonies), and good time, finger-snapping, toe-tapping music. "Come on Get Happy" (the show's theme song) leads off the CD and the music just gets better after that.
This CD is well worth the money. Enjoy!
2008-06-17Come On Get Happy! The Very Best of the Partridge Family is a pretty good CD of some of their greatest hits. Sure, some may argue that a song or two was left out but overall this is a strong single CD compilation. The quality of the sound is very good and the artwork is really nicely done.
The CD starts with the title track, "Come On Get Happy." They sing this very well and their harmonizing is excelllent. This sure brings back many memories from my childhood days! This song makes me remember the days when I would turn on the television to watch the episodes of their television show and I liked the show when I was a kid. "I Think I Love You" is definately one of their greatest hits ever. They sing and play this with panache; David Cassidy sings very well; and the song has great modulations between major and minor keys to make it sound even prettier. I think that's a harpsichord in the musical arangement; and it all works very well. "I Woke Up In Love This Morning" celebrates the joys of falling in love with your one true love. David Cassidy sings this with passion, heart and soul. The guitar work and the percussion sure does work to make this number shine; and it's quite a strong pop hit from back in the day.
"Baby I Love, Love, I Love You" has a very pretty arangement and they sing and play this with all their heart and soul. "Baby I Love, Love, I Love You" features this group front and center--and that's quite all right by me! In addition, "Point Me In The Direction Of Albuquerque" truely does showcase David Cassidy's vocal talents and he aces this number quite easily. He was talented! "Point Me In The Direction Of Albuquerque" is another highlight of this fine album.
"Sunshine" has a relentlessly upbeat, bouncy flavor to it that will make bubblegum and soft pop lovers happy everywhere! "Sunshine" features the greatness of The Partridge Family and that's terrific. "Let The Good Times In" is another bouncy, upbeat melody that really makes you apprieciate the fine music of The Partridge Family--they truely WERE talented. In addition, "I'll Meet You Halfway" is a stunning number and it's probably my favorite song on the entire album. What a moving arangement--I love every minute of "I'll Meet You Halfway."
"Together (Havin' A Ball)" is classic Partridge Family music; and listen for "Looking Through The Eyes Of Love." "Looking Through The Eyes Of Love" is a charming ballad that holds its own very well. "Roller Coaster" features David Cassidy really opening up to make his mark on this excelllent number; and the CD ends well with The Partridge Family performing "Together We're Better." "Together We're Better" is another upbeat tune with a strong arangement and it makes the perfect ending for this CD.
The Partridge Family entered our lives with some incredable music. Fans of this group will love this CD; and people who like bubblegum pop music will enjoy this CD, too.
