One of the 60's and 70's silken male voices. The mid-70"s was a neverending string of middle of the road classics. Romance and disco filled the air (waves) with hope and possibility. "Breakaway" was one of those LP's that went on like a Rachmaninov symphony. Each song blended into the next (and not like mindless muzac). But rather like melodic lullabies you want to forever memorize. "I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)" and "I Only Have Eyes For You" are always acknowleged as the two great tunes on this LP. However, the one I thought that really deserved the prize was "99 Miles From L.A.," one of Albert Hammond's best efforts. "Breakaway" is a great tune. "Disney Girls" and "My Little Town" also quickly caught my ear. It was a great surprise this CD available and great to hear it again, only this time on CD.

With his impossibly high pop tenor voice, Art Garfunkel found his best solo material ever on this collection of gorgeously arranged pop songs. Stevie Wonder's I BELIEVE... is simply jaw-dropping; THE WATERS OF MARCH has a kicky, memorable poetic lilt; MY LITTLE TOWN still stands the test of time as Simon and Garfunkel's cryptically brilliant "comeback" duet. There is no clunker on this album, and it is arranged with an orchestral feel that sounds instantly classic. With melodies like these, and with an angelic voice like Art's to steer the course, it is no wonder this album has remained one of my all-time favorites from the 70s through today.

This 1975 album remains Art Garfunkel's most consistent and best-selling one,thanks to the lush Richard Perry production and strong song selections like the Stevie Wonder-penned "I Believe(When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)",the Beach Boys "Disney Girls","99 Miles From L.A",and the Top 40 hits "Breakaway","I Only Have Eyes For You",and the Simon & Garfunkel reuion "My Little Town".Artie's beautiful tenor voice suits all the tracks perfectly and makes for gorgeous listening.No Art Garfunkel fan's collection(or anybody else's)is complete without this CD.

This is one of my very favorite albums from the 1970s and I'm thrilled that it's on CD! It was specifically made as a "mellow" album and no upbeat songs are included. His remake of "I Only Have Eyes For You" is my favorite version of that song, and the other tracks are wonderful, too!

This is one of my favorite c.d.'s. I really think Art is at his best here. All of the songs are keepers, not one disturbs the mood. From the winsome Rag Doll to the haunting yearning feel of 99 Miles from L.A., each takes you somewhere...Art puts a new spin on an old standard in I Only Have Eyes for You. Much better than the original, it's "our favorite slow dance/make out song". Yea, we've been married 16 years now, but when Art sings we're still dating.
