Come on Get Happy! The Very Best of the Partridge Family

It doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally kitsch burrows itself into the popular consciousness and stays put because it's timelessly, compellingly good. Such is the case with The Very Best of the Partridge Family, which at long last allows pop aficionados who have closeted their dirty-little-secret obsession with the fictitious TV group to come clean. Never mind the ruffles and dove-wing lapels—heartthrob hang-ups aside, David Cassidy can sing (skip "I Think I Love You" and check his soul chops on the raging "Roller Coaster" or his Elvis-like vocal nuances on "Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque" instead.) And it doesn't hurt that the material he crooned was penned by some of the era's top songwriters. Barry Mann and Cynthia Weill, for example, lent their graceful imagery to "Looking Through the Eyes of Love," and Gerry Goffin was behind "I'll Meet You Halfway." Add to that the band's layered-harmony-nailing background singers and a stash of sensational session players, and it can't be helped: You get happy. -Tammy La Gorce more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-01-2008; About time for the rarites!! Woo hoo!!; "Stephanie" and the 2 songs from the pilot are totally sought after. I am really glad it's now available. I noticed "Together" had an additional vocal layering over the whole song than the TV pilot's version. Of course, that and "Let the...; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-14-2008; Great CD for Partridge Family fans; I grew up on the Partridge Family (way better than the Brady Bunch) and while I loved the show, it was the music that made the Partridge Family such a hit. Obviously, the Partridge Family is David Cassidy since none of the other case...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-25-2008; Come On Get Happy?; I'd be happier if the show's theme song weren't "Album Only." Whoever you are who made that decision, one day you'll learn that all this does is make people steal the song. You lose, the artist loses. Get a clue.; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Apr-23-2008; A bit of a mixed bag; There is no question that this album is unique because a trickle of songs that were never released made it to the cut. These include two from the pilot (Together having a ball, Let the Good Times In), Baby I love you -- from episode 3...; read full review | report as inappropriate
