There are thousands upon thousands of children's albums out there, but the one that quietly left its mark with more '70s children than perhaps any other album was this disc. Free to Be...You and Me was a pet project of proud feminist Marlo Thomas (a.k.a. "That Girl"), and it was born--according to the liner notes--by the desire to provide her niece with music "to celebrate who she was and who she could be." Harry Belafonte sings "Parents Are People," ex-football great Rosie Grier offers an incredible, touching melody titled "It's All Right to Cry," and Diana Ross waxes future-positive on "When We Grow Up." A great hour of brain food for young--and not-so-young--children. --Denise Sheppard |

childhood memory |
|
my sisters and I listened to this lp constantly when we were kids--have most of the skits and songs memorized. It's such a kick to share it with my kids "music like it use to be," says my son. |

My kids Love This! |
|
Perfect for parents wary of the messages our kids are given through the popular music of today. My own kids are too old for nursary ryhmes & baby music, but I am not ready for all of the songs on the radio about girls trying to get boys attention. My 7 year old won't let me turn off the car until the 'Parents are people' song is over. Plus, I listened to this as a kid & I love it too. P.D. |

Did they say that? |
|
While this is a little outdated (I remember listening to it when I was young in the 70's--therefore it touches on some of the topics of equality--hence Free To Be You and Me), the tunes and stories are still very funny and very catchy. I have even listened to it without my daughter. However, when listening to it again for the first time I did have a "did they just say that?" moment. The that was, "you're a jerk." |

Very Uplifting, Message Still Inspires Today |
|
I remember this inspirational program when I was a teenager. Marlo Thomas should be credited with being the first to instill in young people that they are free to be whatever, and whomever, they'd like to be. |
