Album Description:
The story of Russell Watson is inspirational: a factory worker born in Salford, North West England, Russell went from performing on the pub and club circuit in his spare time to singing for the Pope, prime ministers and presidents and selling over 5 million albums worldwide. Watson, otherwise known as 'The Voice,' is back with all his most popular hits on one CD. The Ultimate Collection features 'Nessun Dorma,' 'Funiculi, Funicula' 'Miserere,' and 'Nella Fantasia.' The new collection also contains two new bonus tracks, Elvis's #1 hit 'Can't Help Falling In Love' and Whitney Houston's powerful song 'I Have Nothing.'

Rating: - * Tom Watson is the voice! ... Tom Watson has the most beautiful tenor voice I have ever heard. I am a professional musician, playing pipe organ and piano. I accompany singers all the time, but I have never heard one of Tom's ability. Please let me know when he records another "CD"! I would buy it in a heartbeat! Rating: - * My Favorite Singer ... This is a wonderful album by my favorite singer. He can sing any style, but I enjoy his classical style the best. I'm glad he has recovered from his surgery and is back performing again. I hope he'll come to California some day for a concert. Rating: - * Russell Watson-The Ultimate Collection ... I bought this CD for everyone that I needed a unique gift for at holiday time. What an amazing repertoire of songs and WHAT A VOICE! Russell Watson seems like this everyday, random guy...but,when he sings--the world stands still. Most noted are his choice of accompaniments from "Volare", complimented with a full orchestra, to "Barcelona", a fun vocal with rap star Shaun Ryder. Excellent choice. Rating: - * great album ... Prior to purchase, I previewed the samples and was convinced that the songs in this collection are truly endearing. I enjoy listening to it especially while I'm driving as it provides a soothing and peaceful feeling while trying to patiently maneuver through heavy traffic. At home, it provides me an equally wholesome experience. Russel Watson's voice and rendition of the songs make his style uniquely pleasant. Rating: - * recent convert ... I used to hate anything even close to opera. Russell Watson has completely changed my attitude toward this form of music. "Nella Fantasia" is magical. No one has sung "You Raise Me Up" better. He even sings "Volare" with better Italian pronunciation than Dean Martin. The album is pure joy.
