Billboard Presents : Family Lullaby Classics

Billboard Presents : Family Lullaby Classics Review



This beautiful collection would be a great gift for a new mom, with songs perfect for both naptime and nursing time. From the warm, familiar strains of Danny Kaye singing "Inchworm" from his 1952 film Hans Christian Andersen to Shirley Temple's enchanting "Goodnight, My Love," these tender tracks can soothe the most troubled soul. Burl Ives's "Lavender Blue" is sweet, but not too sweet, and Peggy Lee's gentle "La La Lu" (from Lady and the Tramp) will touch any new mother's heart. Other tracks include "Tickle Toddle" from the dreams of Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm Bamm; Dick Van Dyke's "Hushabye Mountain" lullaby from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; and Danny Kaye's lovely "I'll Take You Dreaming." Time to set that VCR up in the kids' room and rent these great old movies! And although the collection's packaging leaves something to be desired, don't let it put you off. --Lorry Fleming
