The Very Best of the Originals [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com
The Originals languished on Motown's roster until Marvin Gaye took an interest in their career in 1968. Soon he'd produced and cowritten two Top 5 soul hits for the smooth quartet. The doo-wop-influenced "Baby I'm for Real" and "The Bells" are hardly the only highlights of this compilation, though--"God Bless Whoever Sent You" and the later disco smash "Down to Love Town" are near classics that deserve the new light that falls on them here. Most rewarding for Gaye fans will be an early, unreleased version of "Just to Keep You Satisfied," a song he later rewrote for Let's Get It On. --Rickey Wright

Good 'ol Songs.......2007-07-05

This compilation of The Originals is the basis for soul music. Marvin Gaye delivered the right sound and lyrics for this group.

The Originals.......2007-05-13

I like the cd, it's makes you want to invite friend over and have a social gathering.

The Very Best of the Originals.......2007-02-17

I bought the CD because it has my high school sweetheart's and my favorite song. He had bought me the album when we were 16 and I don't know what happened to it. We have recently reunited and the songs bring back memories. He sang "Baby I'm for Real" but I couldn't remember what it sounded like. It's great hearing the other songs that they had done as well.

Take me back to my college days!.......2006-10-31

When I was at college in the early 70's, I always loved the Moments, the Dells and the Originals. The Bells was and has always been one of my favorite love songs.

To be loved to that level would be a blessing!

Where do we go from here...?.......2006-02-03

With the 90s, "Superstar Series", "Baby, I'm For Real", & "Portrait Of The Originals" (the latter two reissues of their first two albums) cd releases long out of print, and when offered for sale, are at supply/demand numbers, it appears this "Very Best Of" and the import reissue of the first lp, are "it", at this time, provided the other UK "Best Of" fails to present itself. This cd is a 1999 release, yes plenty of copies were manufactured at that time, are they still being produced? For the informed, if the need is present to sell the necessity of the cd into an old-school soul music collection, just what is in the collection? For the un-informed, unquestioned late 60s early 70s ballad classics "Baby, I'm For Real", "The Bells, & "God Bless Whoever Sent You", rank with some of the best of the time, ticket the cd in! Should the cd be in an old school soul music collection is not the question, the question is, is this cd an already out of print cd, waiting for remaining copies to sell? If so, what then? As we see when cds go out of print, then out ofstock, not worth the risk of not buying while the buying is good. Buy now!
