11. All My Tomorrows

I never heard of Carol Kidd until I saw a Korean Movie called "Shiri" which had Carol's song "When I Dream " in the soundtrack. After looking her up and the album "All my tomorrows" I would consider it a FANTASTIC CD for ANY collection of nostalgia. Her rendition of "When I Dream" absolutely knocks me down! It is so great I don't think any modern day singer can touch it the way she has done! It is so inspiring, that I forgot who the ORIGINAL artist was who released it years ago. I think it might have been Crystal Gayle but years have taken their toll on my knowledge curve. For anyone interested, this song alone is worth the purchase! Don't miss it, as its bound to bring tears to your eyes and take you back to the years when MUSIC was just that: MUSIC!
