The only measure of your words and your deeds will be the LOVE you leave behind when you're gone... May 29, 2008
J. Gunning (Midst the Oaks of SRH)
Funny and original, touchingly personal, yet familiar and comfortable, unobtrusive and inventive, and sometimes heartbreaking, THE FLIRTATIONS is the most effective a cappella recording that I have heard. As thrilling as great voices can be, this record is great enough to raise goose-bumps whenever I hear tracks like "Breaths," "Wallflower," or "Everything Possible." Doo-Wop classics sit elbow to elbow with standards and remarkably original songs that will echo in your own life; this collection is everything you expect and more. This beautiful record is a wonderful document of hugely talented MICHAEL CALLEN's powerful and gifted instrument: his voice. It's also a document of Jon Arterton, Aurelio Font, TJ Myers, and Cliff Townsend. I believe TJ Myers left us before Michael Callen. THE FLIRTATIONS' live album is also very enjoyable. Any fan of a cappella should own this album.

I met Michael during the 1980s when he traveled extensively on AIDS projects and conferences, speaking engagements and also with the FLIRTATIONS. I spent twenty-six years as a massage therapist, and on numerous times that he flew into Dallas-Fort Worth, he would call and ask for an appointment. Not only was he a kind and creative and bright spirit, but he always loved my personal and caring massages. As with all win/win situations, I in turn found a creative mind, clever, genuine and always a sparkle about his life. Along with enjoying his music the rest of my life, I'll always cherish the memories of time spent in his presence.
 flawed but still... August 31, 2002

The FLIRTATIONS (Jon Arterton, Michael Callen, Aurelio Font, TJ Myers, and Cliff Townsend) were an openly-gay acapella quartet in 1990 when they released this album, and it is a charming but uneven effort. The singers are obviously talented, and their material ranges from doo-wop to a gospel sound. Some of the tracks are nothing less than delightful -- a gay version of "Surfin' USA" that works better than it seems like it would, and the gentle power of pride in songs like "Everything Possible" and "Something Inside So Strong." Yet some of the tracks sound a bit amateurish, maybe a little sloppy. But all in all, it's very moving and important, and also a lot of fun. And it's one of the few recordings of Michael Callen's remarkable voice and charisma.
Fabulous! October 14, 2000

This has become my favorite CD after rediscovering the Flirtations a few weeks ago. The songs are all worth listening to over and over again. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it because I don't ever listen to a capella, but they are all so talented that I'm sure instruments would take away from their great sound. The Flirtations should also be hailed for their activism and their ability to mix humor with serious social messages. Anyway, this is a great CD, and I strongly recommend it. Also check out their other CDs, if you get the chance!
Fun, funny a cappella! August 31, 1999

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.
