Time-Life Album Discography, Part 39: The Singers and Songwriters Collection By Mike Callahan, David Edwards, and Patrice Eyries Last update: February 13, 2008 |
The idea behind the Singers and Songwriters Collection was not exactly what one might
expect, that is, if one were expecting the normal singer-songwriter discs with songs written by the
performers. Sure, a lot of the songs on these CDs were in fact written by their performers, but others
were written by other songwriters. The focus was on music by "singer-songwriters," but not necessarily
doing their own songs. This was true even on the two prototype sets that Time-Life put out in the early
1990s, Singers and Songwriters and Our Songs: Singers & Songwriters Encore. The two
prototypes were devoid of liner notes except for the song lists and publishing information. Not so for the
later series, which featured extensive liner notes and stories, as well as photos. In addition to 18
volumes in the series, the Singers and Songwriters idea spawned a few more discs for sale in
retail stores.

The first direct-mail sales pitch for The Singers and Songwriters Series (far left) offered the usual risk-free audition. To grab attention to the envelope, we are also offered a very-1970s photo of Carly Simon, obviously taken from No Secrets. Later mail offers (near left) were a bit more subdued. |

Legacy E 90782 - Singers and Songwriters: Christmas Songs - Various Artists [2000]
This CD has no obvious connection to the Time-Life series, except that it really looks like a Time-
Life CD from this series. The "Singers and Songwriters" on the front is in the same font as used for the
Time-Life series logo (the spine even has the little underscore of the "o" in "songwriters"), and the denim
photo on the back is exactly the same as the Time-Life back tray photos, even down to the song titles
being in typewriter fonts and the artists names in smaller sans serif font. In other words, if you
didn't look closely, you'd obviously think it WAS part of the Time-Life series. Since Sony Music Special
Products often pressed Time-Life discs, this is perhaps a disc that was planned by Time-Life then
cancelled, leaving Sony the opportunity to release it on their Legacy label. Of course, we could be
wrong, and Sony just felt imitation was flattery. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear - Rosanne Cash/What
Child Is This? - Dan Fogelberg/Silent Night - Emmylou Harris/Cherry Tree Carol - Judy Collins/Mary's
Little Boy Child - José Feliciano/I'll Be Home For Christmas - Carly Simon/Silver Bells -
