The King,
October 8, 2000 marcos quevedo (Sao Paulo- SP Brasil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mis 30 Mejores Canciones (Audio CD)
This CD is very good, both songs and booklet. It's a compilation sung in Spanish of One of the most popular singers of Latin America, the best on my opinion. Roberto Carlos sings with his heart and his fans throughout the world love it. That's one of the reasons he's called "The King" in Brazil. Thanks Roberto we love you!!!

30 grandes canciones,

I followed Roberto Carlos for over 35 years of my life and until today I am still a fan. I've collected many of his songs in all formats. His voice is so beautiful in whichever language he sings. He gives everything into any song he sings. The writing and the meaning are very simple and to the point, yet strong and effective. He is an ageless singer who brought romance into everyone's life. His songs identified in all walks of life to all of us. To so many of us he is irreplaceable...I just love him so much! What a great artist and a legend!

I first heard Roberto Carlos in the late 1980s when I was dating a fan of his from Monterrey. She sang his praises, but I was sceptical until we saw him in concert and I became a Roberto Carlos convert.
I never had any albums or CDs of his before, but did have a 120 minute cassette that her sister's boyfriend recorded for me. I listened to it fairly often over the years and recently decided to buy a CD since the tape was getting old. But where to start? He had unfortunately written down no song titles but I knew which ones I liked. So I settled on 30 Grandes Canciones to start.
OK, there are a lot of great songs here. Carlos has the right voice for romantic song and this CD is full of romance. But there are also a few dogs.
Let's start with my favorites. Most of them turned out to be songs I knew from the late 1980s and early 1990s. There are several of which I will never tire: Detalles, Si El Amor Se Va, and Amigo. Then there are those I like quite a bit: La Distancia,...Read more
