Slide guitar master Ry Cooder makes a cameo appearance.

The Flirtations

This cd is one that every a cappella-lover should have in their collection. With lovely ballads (like Breaths and Wallflower), classics (Blue Moon and Lida Rose), and fast or funny tunes (Santa Maria and The Flirt Song), this one has something that everyone will like. Two songs, Everything Possible and On Children, will touch your heart - they're gorgeous! The Flirtations obviously had fun making this one, and it's a great, harmony-packed group of songs - you won't regret getting it. -- Anonymous Review

Live! Out On The Road [LIVE] Flirtations

The flirtations were featured in the movie "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. This album will make you laugh and cry, and the group members are very outspoken that this is a gay acappella group. It is also an amazing recording of Michael Callen, the group's highest voice, who has since passed away. -- Anonymous Review
