While there are some great tracks on the Motown songwriters' compilation Why Can't We Be Lovers, this set is marred by too many versions of the same songs. Two versions of Don't Leave Me Starving For Your Love and I'm So Glad appear next to each other. It's annoying to hear the same song twice (no matter how good it is). For some reason the instrumental version of Slipping Away is on disc one and the vocal version on disc 2.

Still, you can't argue the quality. Why Can't We Be Lovers sounds as if it has the same personnel as Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. New Breed Kind Of Woman could have been a David Ruffin track.

I think the folks at Castle/Sanctuary stretched on this one. It would've been better as a single disc.
