		It takes a few years to see the true long- term value of a song after all, many of the songs that we treasure most from the 60's and whatnot were not hits back then, and many of the hits would be difficult to name now.
		this was merely a cute song to be sung by a cute little girl who was meant to look cute while singing the song.

		But these are fond memories---the smells of something baking, of Mop 'N Glo being applied liberally to the wax-required kitchen floor, and of mom singing along to the music I'm sure rekindled memories of her girlhood.
		Each track has its own points worthy of praise, but perhaps the overall impression of the CD is what garners the most lauding from this listener.
		The songs picked for this disc and their play order is interesting from a musical standpoint as well as an historical one.

	Songs From The Last Century - George Michael - Pandora Internet Radio
		He's lying back, singing songs he loves, not worrying about chart success, and the end result is quite fetching, even if it isn't perfect.
		The main flaw with Songs From the Last Century is that it's so smooth, it's occasionally a little sleepy, a trait that's emphasized by Michael's fairly predictable taste in covers -- "Brother Can You Spare a Dime," "My Baby Just Cares for Me," and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," among others.
		Certainly, Songs From the Last Century isn't a major work; it's a way for Michael to decompress and have some fun, and the diehards who stuck with him through the turbulent '90s are likely to be charmed.
