The Definitive Collection Stevie Wonder In a career spanning four decades Steveland Judkins Morris has been many things: child star, funk hero, political chronicler, the saviour of Motown Records and depressingly, the instigator of the painfully schmaltzy R&B ballad. Thankfully, this exhaustive "Best Of...", timed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of his first appearance as Little Stevie Wonder, focuses mainly on the 1966-1980 glory years...    Read More >>

Songs In The Key Of Life Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life was the highest high-point of Stevie Wonder's career. More sprawling than Innervisions and Talking Book, this 2 LP-plus-EP was also less of a consistent stunner than either of those masterworks. That Songs retains an enormous amount of visionary relevance, though, is demonstrated not only in Coolio's borrowing of "Pastime Paradise" as a template for...    Read More >>

The Definitive Collection Lionel Richie & The Commodores A great album gathering all the big hits. Although some classic Commodores tracks are missing such as 'I Feel Sanctified'. There is another Compilation with all of their funky tracks although these are only the short versions. There should be a companion CD of long lost 12" and extended remixes. Surely 'Nightshift' was released after Lionel Richie had left the Commodores, and...    Read More >>

Barry White - The Collection Barry White The walrus of lurve that is Mr Barry White received something of a resurgence thanks to his cameos on hit TV show Ally McBeal--which prompted the release of this collection--but rest assured he is no Dancing Baby fad, here today and boogied off tomorrow; he's been around far too long for that. From Mark & Lard's Fat Harry White to pastiches by Reeves & Mortimer, he's the vocal Casanova whose...    Read More >>

What's Going On Marvin Gaye Sly & The Family Stone might have psychedelicised soul music, but Marvin Gaye personalised it. Although the powers-that-were Motown didn't even want to release the record, the unexpected success of What's Going On, issued in 1971, inspired Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, and just about every other black artist on the planet to take greater responsibility for their music and its meaning....    Read More >>

The Very Best of Al Green Al Green I brought this album for one purpose and one purpose only 'Let's Stay Together' I didn't know who sang it because I was an 80's baby raised in the 90's it was before my time, but eventually found out that Al did. After owning this album 2 months now I have been gripped by Al's presents on the mic, I now have 15 favorite songs on the album, they don't call it greatest hits for nothing!!    Read More >>

Innervisions Stevie Wonder One of Stevie Wonder's best albums, and the one where his more fanciful, free-form moments gel perfectly with his knack for irresistible pop singles. 1973's Innervisions swings between delicate and airy ballads, Latin-influenced rhythms (the hit "Don't Worry 'Bout a Thing"), and his own synth-heavy versions of gut-bucket soul (the determined spiritual questing of "Higher Ground"). The striking...    Read More >>

All-Time Greatest Hits Barry White The most hot-buttered of all soul singers, Barry White is an artist whose CDs come with a purpose. To say what that purpose is, is not for a family Web site--but it involves that thing that Mommy and Daddy do at night with the bedroom door closed. All-Time Greatest Hits collects the essential White and Love Unlimited Orchestra tracks onto a packed CD. Are 20 cuts too much? Not with Viagra....    Read More >>

The Very Best Of Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye The Very Best of Marvin Gaye pulls together the usual hits from "I'll Be Doggone" to "Grapevine", "What's Going On" to "Let's Get It On" to "Sexual Healing"--all musts for any R&B or pop fan--but this two-CD set also offers treats for the Marvin connoisseur. Foremost are the previously unreleased "Where Are We Going?" which marries Nixon-era (and beyond) social concerns to a lilting groove that...    Read More >>

The Very Best of Roberta Flack Roberta Flack what a gread cd, this lady sings really good, a very best album well worth buying.    Read More >>
