The 3CD set spans several generations of performers, from musical legends such as Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield to contemporary artists including Jamelia, Joss Stone and Kylie Minogue. There are numerous highlights here but Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” always stands out as a classic pop song that has stood the test of time (anyone who saw her rendition of this classic at Live 8 will acknowledge that she is still is one of the greatest female performers). Eva Cassidy’s breathtaking cover of “Fields of Gold” is a delicately sung classic, as is Norah Jones’s “Come Away With Me”. Cher’s number 1 hit “Believe” is – like Madonna – a testament to the enduring talent of another of pop music’s most important women.
