5 out of 5 stars Gene Chandler Review.......2006-03-15

This CD will go into "My Favorite's" collection of GREAT SONGS! As a teenager, in the early '60's, in my opinion, Gene Chandler stood out as one of the best male singers of that time, hearing his songs again still makes me feel the same way...

My thank's to Amazon for being the best of making it possible to find all the "CLASSICS" of all genre of music!!

4 out of 5 stars Sweet Sixties Soul.......2002-03-08

Gene Chandler's music, like most of the Chicago-Soul acts, was woefully underrated and overshadowed by the folks at Stax and Motown. This is a good intro to Gene's smooth, crooning style. Here we have (of course), "Duke Of Earl" which he is best known for, but this also includes other tunes that aren't well known to those who weren't listening to Black radio stations at the time, such as "Bless Our Love," and "What Now" (the latter featuring Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions in the background). "Gonna Be Good Times" captures the spirit of a soulful party at the time, and "Soul Hootenanny" is an amaziing live recording capturing Gene's rapport with the audience (in this case at Chicago's Regal theater in 1965). Only minor complaint here is that this doesn't have Gene's 1970 classic "Groovy Situation" which those of us who remember love so well, but at least that's available elsewhere.

4 out of 5 stars The Talented Mr Chandler........2001-03-15

Fabulous is about all I can write down... This is one piece of mastery I think everyone who is an avid R&B fan should have. The world basically knows... DUKE OF EARL... but this man was and is so much more...GOD BLESS OUR LOVE... JUST BE TRUE...OH MY GOD!!!!!!! The house parties drinking that tangeray and holding and being held by your love and sloooooooooooooow dancing... what an era. The actual singing and the instrumentation. What ever happened to real music??? The DIVA has spoken... get this CD it is well worth the money honey..

              As I write this, the compilation is not available but I'm familiar with most of the songs, having heard them in other venues. Let me start by saying, no GC compilation is complete without his "later" hit, "Groovy Situation", but this one comes close. This one has his big one plus the follow-up, "Walk on With the Duke" (done under the name "Duke of Earl; guess that didn't catch on). It also has the "answer" to Mary Well's "You Beat Me to the Punch" (it was Mary's year, 1962), "You Threw A Lucky Punch". Notably, "Nite Owl" is on here released at about the same time as "The Duke of Earl" single; story goes, Gene was the lead singer of the Dukays under whose name "Nite Owl" was released but opted out of the "group", giving them the song. All in all, with his version of the Limelites' "Daddy's Home" and a mild hit, the B-side "Festival of Love" and others, this is a pretty good compilation for you (if these are the original recordings and if you can find it).
