4 out of 5 stars .....and a "real thing" it is................2007-06-07

well, it took some time, but i finally got this 'best-of' of a grouip i had never heard of until i heard the sounds of these guys on a mix cd compiled by jason kay, leader and lead singer of brit-funk group jamiroquai. the track that i heard was an instant classic upon hearing it, which was "raining through my sunshine", which after a few listens ends up sounding like the best r&b single of the 70's that didn't become a hit here in the states(these cats are from england, y'all.) in 2005, i heard another track, the heavily space-funkdafied killer horn stomp of "can you feel the force?", which i played almost every damn weekend for a few months straight!!! talk about appreciation for all things you haven't heard of in awhile!!! both of these songs are on this cd, although in edited versions, as some other ones are, too. but don't let that stop you from enjoying some of the other fine tracks from these cats, including their first hit "you to me are everything", and some other hard partying hits! after this, i assure you that you will have been blessed by giving a sweet listen to "the real thing"!

                4 out of 5 stars Mark H in California.......2006-08-23

                I first saw this band live in the early 80s in Europe. They left an impression on me. They had all the moves of the Isley Bros, the ballads of Barry White, and the smooth vocals of the Four Tops. This CD was well worth the money, and I'd recommend it to anybody that likes good soul pop and disco. My favorite is the reggae sounding "Roll My Number". Enjoy the Real Thing!

                5 out of 5 stars Funky disco group of the seventies.......2005-03-30

                The Real Thing were a British disco group that came to public attention with a number one UK hit, You to me are everything, in 1976. This funky up-tempo song was in many ways a typical slice of seventies disco music, but it was a great song, superbly performed and deserved to top the charts. The follow-up, Can't get by without you, was a similar type of song and made number two.

                After that, the Real Thing had seven other UK hits between 1977 and 1980, of which one (Can you feel the force) made the top five and two others (You'll never know what you're missing, Whenever you want my love) made the top twenty. There were four minor hits (Love's such a wonderful thing, Let's go disco, Boogie down get funky now, She's a groovy freak). In 1986, they had further hits with re-mixes of their three biggest hits. They also had a very minor hit with a new song (Straight to the heart) on a different record label, which isn't here but doesn't matter.

                If you enjoy seventies disco music, give the Real Thing a listen. This compilation contains all the essentials.
