This review is from: Two on the Aisle / Together on Broadway (Audio CD)
Steve & Eydie, best duo ever in pop music, reissued in cd format one of the best 2-4-1s ever. I always preferred the 2nd album on lp, but, now with cd, the 1st sounds just as great! Most songs are duets & the couple compliment each other like no other 2. In one of the few serious numbers, Sunrise Sunset, Eydie & Steve harmonies surpass the Fiddler on the Roof actors who have done it. Most songs here are fun songs which are just what Mr & Mrs. do best or at least better than anyone else. I've known way too many people who dismiss S&E as "lounge music" not worth taking seriously. But, I say fun songs & Broadway songs deserve respect as much as blues or rock & roll. I feel Broadway has given us our artiest material, our "Shakespearian Drama" of pop music. No one does these 22 Broadway tunes better than Steve & Eydie!
