Customer Reviews

Simplified junk!

This music is terrible with no beef! Its a hotdog with no ketchup! The songs do not sound good, the arrangements are not even mediocre, they're lifeless&boring! Get the Reader's Digest ones(except the 50s one, its like this one). I hate this music book, its boring & just cheesy.

Great Song Book to Have.

This collections of over 70 songs includes not only the lyrics, but music for piano and guitar as well. This book has been useful for me several times, such as when needing a song to sing at an audition or for an improvised, non-rehearsed performance. Some of the songs include:All I Ask of YouBlue SkiesCan You Feel the Love TonightClimb Ev'ry MountainImagineThe Lady Is a TrampLet It BeLove Me TenderMemoryMy Favorite ThingsMy Funny ValentineOl' Man RiverPiano ManThe Rainbow ConnectionSomewhere Out ThereStar DustUnchained MelodyWhen I Fall in LoveA Whole New WorldYesterday This is just a small list because there are a total of 73 songs. A great song book.

The Best Songs Ever, Hal Leonard

I play for my own enjoyment and this book is great! It's easy playing and you sound like a pro. I highly recommend it.

Great for intermediates!

This book has a wonderful selection of songs and the music in it is not too difficult. The music is complicated enough to sound good, but easy enough for not-so-talented people such as myself to be able to play it. With piano, guitar, and vocal music it's great for people with various musical backgrounds.
