author: ROD BANKSTHIS SURLEY HAS TO BE ONE OF THE ALL TIME GREAT VOICES.EVERY NOTE EVERY PHRASE IS JUST EFFORTLESS
FANTASTIC! (both the CD and cdbaby.com
author: NancyI was lucky enough to see David Gaines perfom in Phantom in LA and saw him again just recently performing a few songs at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. He did Old Man River and Music of the Night. Both of these were worth the price of admission! This CD is wonderful. It took me forever to find a copy to buy. The big sites failed miserably, but cdbaby.com came through with flying colors. I will defintely promote this CD and this site whenever I can!
AMAZING!

author: Leonard GalbraithAfter seeing Phantom of the Opera 6 times and seeing Davis Gaines at the back stage door, I knew he could sing. Out standing, excellant. I love his version of Old man River.

author: Phantom PhanI first saw Davis Gaines at the Minnesota Orchestra Hall and immediately bought this CD. It is a definite MUST HAVE!
Next best thing to his live performances
author: drf.in.ighWe first heard Davis Gaines in concert with the Minnesota Orchestra and Doc Severinsen. He is an outstanding vocalist and this CD shows it. The only thing better than this CD is to see him live in concert.
