notes

"...a strong contender for general listening collections. Her fluid voice is perfectly complemented by Jennifer Peart's vocals and Chris Stolpe's keyboard accompaniment. The songs, all original, vary in style, encompassing jazz, folk, rock, and even a bit of country. Her play list includes a variety of themes, including a song about colors, bubble baths, an ogre, a dancing ball for dolls, as well as familiar storybook characters like Baba Yaga, the Big Bad Wolf, and Humpty Dumpty among others, all with their own twists. Sleeping Beauty, for instance, learns that her beauty lies within her, and is encouraged to open her own eyes..."
-Kristen Martindale, School Library Journal

"Gentle folk-flavored tunes with a pinch of love and appreciation for the child within us all."
-John Wood, Kidzmusic.com

"Each original tune holds wonderful wholesome lyrics set off by beautiful melodic voices. It gives new meaning to folk music. Children of all ages will enjoy this delightful CD."
-Janet Stokes, The Film Advisory Board

"Keep making wonderful music!"
Absolutely Mindy, XM Satellite Radio

Mary's music has been played on children's radio shows across the country and in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand

  • great!
    author: Kathleen O'Sullivan

    My daughter (and my husband and I) have all enjoyed this newest cd to our collection. Mary Kaye has a beautiful voice!

  • My daughter's favorite!
    author: Joy Mueller

    My 13 month old daughter and I listen to this cd every morning! Everytime the first song starts she smiles and starts "dancing." We've been listening to it every day, almost since she was born, and we've never grown tired of it. I love to sing along, and it's sometimes been the only way to distract a cranky baby long enough to get a shower. The vocals and accompaniment are outstanding. Excellent cd!

  • Great for classes of young people
    author: Alexis Dascoulias, Theatre Education Director

    These songs are great for creative drama classes! COLORS is especially popular with my pre-school students and I LIKE TO EAT SWEETS is a great snack-time song.

  • My daughter loves this music!
    author: Val Brockway

    Ever since my daughter got Mary Kaye's CD, she has asked to listen to it every night before she goes to sleep. My daughter now knows every word of this CD by heart. I Sang It Just For You is a very special part of her childhood!

  • Great, fun CD for kids!
    author: Tami Biddle

    I Sang It Just For You has lots of original, fun songs for kids to dance and sing along with! My daughter loves pretending to be "Sleeping Beauty" when she hears Mary's song. This is a terrific CD that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

  • A great CD from beginning to end!
    author: James Arieti

    These are catchy songs that will delight children of all ages, stirring them to laugh and sing. And when sometime they’re feeling blue, they’ll pop the CD in a player and laugh and sing again. A wonderful CD, from the cheerful art work on the case to the last note of the last song.

  • Beautiful voice, imaginative lyrics, a CD for kids AND parents!!
    author: Arlenea Batchelder

    Had enough of the Wiggles? Put this music on and dance, dance, dance!! I Like to Eat Sweets (my personal favorite)is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face. Stuck inside on a Winter day? How about going on a treasure hunt "Looking for Pennies". I actually used this song and hid pennies around the house for my preschooler--we couldn't STOP singing the song! This CD has it all!! Fun, catchy songs mixed in with some beautiful soothing ones, also!

  • Beautiful voice, lyrics, beat....
    author: Meg Fairbairn

    This CD has been requested countless times by my children. And I'm happy to oblige since it's very enriching, imaginative and easy to sing and dance along with.

  • I highly recommend it!
    author: Carin Lee

    Mary Kaye's music has an honesty, complexity, exuberance and independent beauty that will challenge both children and grown-ups who listen. I highly recommend it! "Colors" is a song that makes me want to drag Mary with me when I teach poetry to kids as an artist in residence. Mary Kaye must have the "hello-to-life" poetry in her soul-it's in her music.

  • We love to blast Mary Kaye's music loud and dance!
    author: Jenn Connors

    Great to dance to...but also soothing. My twin girls love the song "Deep In The Water"...the one about the octopus! My oldest daughter's favorite song is "Sleeping Beauty." When she listens to it, she likes acting out that she is Sleeping Beauty. We love to blast Mary Kaye's music loud and dance!

  • Wonderful for adults too!
    author: Audrey Schneider

    This is a wonderful collection of songs that adults can enjoy as much as children (you know how irratating some chidren's music is to adult ears (at least to mine) this compilation is easy listening and fun)...

  • Great CD!
    author: Laura Jones

    Wonderful first cd, both the lyrics and musical arrangements are first rate. Especially love the songs "Colors" and "Humpty Dumpty".

  • Kids and adults can enjoy this together!
    author: Steav Scarpelli

    Kids and Adults can enjoy this CD together. It is very creative, expressive and fun. Makes the car trips more enjoyable.

  • My kids love this!
    author: Mary Ellis

    I received this CD as a gift from a friend and my kids listen to it often. The original songs are just that, original! It has a nice variety of peppy and wind-down tunes. Favorites include Sleeping Beauty, Like to Eat Sweets and Looking for Pennies.

  • This is a beautiful first CD for Mary Kaye.
    author: Sue Horowitz

    This is a beautiful first CD for Mary Kaye. She has a finger on the pulse of the interests of young children. There's lots of good material for preschool and music teachers. Her voice is folksy and lovely. If you like this CD, check out Mouse Jamboree- another great kid's CD!

  • It's a winner.
    author: Catherine Rea

    Being with the grandchildren is such a delight to begin with, but, oh, the joy, when we play the CD, I Sang It Just For You. The children listen, play, and sing along with the songs. And, when Dolly Ball comes on, all the dolls are out and dancing, along with the children and grandma. What a delightful experience. I recommend this CD.

  • Wonderful music for toddlers, smart, catchy and soulful.
    author: Jonathan Penner

    My kids and I listen to this in the car all the time now. And though there's a lot of wonderful silly stuff in here, there's also some smart, soulful songs. Mary Kaye's voice is rich and honest and kids will love how real it is. Nothing pre-fab or over produced here. Very genuine, loving songs. Highly recommended.
