A Sesame Street Celebration
By Jim Henson

21 of Jim Henson's Most Memorable Performances, Including 9 Never Before Released !!!


Absolutely and completely wonderful If you can get hold of this CD (it's rapidly disappearing), do it. A compilation of some of the very best songs ever from Sesame Street, back when it was a creative effort rich with Henson's genius and not a washed-out commercial ziggurat. Everyone knows "Rubber Duckie," "Manah-Manah," and "Bein' Green," but those of us who grew up on Sesame Street might also remember treasures like "African Alphabet Song," "Dance Myself To Sleep" and "Tadpole". These are amazing songs, far beyond anything currently produced for kids (and a surprising amount of what's produced for adults). Jim Henson wasn't just a guy who made a kids' show, he was a man who could bring together immensely talented musicians, songwriters and performers and produce gold. This CD is an excellent tribute to him, and an excellent way to remember his legacy.
