Album Description

Soul Satisfaction is the first neo-soul compilation to feature both high-profile artists alongside emerging cult favorites. It uses the term "nu-soul" to emphasis the progressive nature of the music it presents. A number of the tracks on it have not been exposed previously. It mixes widely-acclaimed artists such as Rachelle Ferrell, Zap Mama, Rahsaan Patterson, Tony Rich Project and Me'Shell Ndegeocello alongside overlooked talents such as Adriana Evans and Rosie Gaines and emerging forces such as Hil St. Soul, Amp Fiddler and Ledisi. As such it is a snapshot of a spectrum of fascinating, challenging artists who give the lie to those who say the current music scene lacks quality artists.

Neo soul sister in MD.......2007-01-08

I really enjoyed this CD. It has some really nice cuts, and I can listen to it over and over.

A Very Nice collection.............2004-11-16

this collection of "Nu-Soul Music" is a hot one. most of the songs have been released already but when they are put here together, it a lovely thing! the artist on this cd go from the "famous" (ZAP MAMA, Me'SHELL NDEGEOCELLO,RACHELL FERRELL) to the "almost famous" (RASHAN PATTERSON,OLU AND TONY RICH), to the "who the hell is that" (POSTIVE FLOW AND ANDREUS)....plus those artist with an underground following (LEDISI,ERIC ROBERSON, HIL ST. SOUL).....of the 14 tracks, the ones that stood
out for me where:

1. Andreus-Rebellious Love (never heard of the brother but the song is nice)
2. Ledisi-So Right (i love her music, she can do no wrong)
3. The Tony Rich Project-Let Me (this song is HOTTT!!)
4. Rachelle Farrell-Nothing In The Middle (it was recorded live and Rachelle shows her vocal skills!)
5. Zap Mama-Miss Q-N (the lyrics of this song are deeeeep!)
6. Me'Shell Ndegocello-Andromeda & the Milky Way (the title is enough!)

im not saying the rest arent good, these are just the songs that moved me. im sure they will move you as well. the cd is really worth pickin up. ONELOVE

IF PATTI AIN'T THE GREATEST WHO IS.......2006-03-16

I LOVE THIS CD EVEN THOUGH IT DOES HAVE ALOT OF BALLADS IF SHOWS OFF A SOFTER SOUND TO PATTI'S VOICE. BUY IT!!!

A good Patti "chill" album - not for dancing around the room.......2005-10-10

While I am a Patti LaBelle fan, I give 'Gems' 3 stars because in my opinion, it leans too much on the ballad side. Don't get me wrong - Patti's vocals are at their best when she delivers an emotional, powerful ballad but 10 of the 12 tracks on this album are ballads. The only real uptempo tracks are 'The Right Kinda Lover' and 'This Word Is All'. If Patti would've included 2 more tracks like these danceful ditties, 'Gems' would be a solid album and a welcome addition to any fan's Patti LaBelle catalogue. This album was quickly forgotten after its release, which is too bad. Patti's previous album 'Burnin' and her follow-up to this one 'Flame' were much better efforts and are definitely worth picking up.

Excellent! Patti at her best.......2002-10-26

This a great CD that only gets better with replay. Shows her great range, from soft to belting it out, from funky to smooth. I've owned it for years and still listen to it frequently. Highly recommended.

Gems.......2000-07-22

Ok, at a first listen, this may not be one of Patti's best Cds. Afterall, it followed one of her best CDS ever, "Burnin" However, the more you listen to this CD, you appreciate Patti's ability to phrase a song and her ability to purr and to roar. Songs such as "Stay in My Corner", "Right Kinda Lover", "If I didn't have You", "Time will Tell" make this CD well worth the buy. Some of the other cuts you will love the more you listen to them. She does a relaxed but great version of "All this Love". People who prefer to hear Patti belting might be disappointed with some of the selections on the Cd, they all don't give her the chance to break loose. But as always, her style is admirable and there are many times on the Cd her power shines through. I especially like the background vocals that she performs on the Cd.

Patti at her best!.......1999-03-23

Patti LaBelle is a GEM of our time. Being in the musical industry for over 35 years, she is the best there is. Everyone, including the likes of Oprah Winfry and Rosie O'Donnel, say that they can feel the pressence of God when Ms. LaBelle opens her mouth to sing, and that is the truth here. This album showcases the Patti LaBelle that everyone knows. If you're new to the Patti Scene, this is the album for you. An album of mainly ballads, Patti takes you on a smooth ride with infinite vocal range on such tracks as "Stay In My Corner" and "Come As You Are." You can't miss this classic album by the one and only Diva.

Amazon.com

Following in the footsteps of two earlier Doo Wop Boxes--the first of which sold enough to earn a gold record--comes a third set of four CDs dedicated to the street-corner form. Discs one and two collect hits and near-misses that didn't make the cut for the previous volumes. The fact that many of these recordings--including the Cadets' whacked-out "Stranded in the Jungle," the Charts' barely less goofball "Zoop," the Jaguars' lovely nod to Sinatra on "The Way You Look Tonight," and Lee Andrews and the Hearts' gorgeous "Try the Impossible"--stand up to the selections on volumes one and two makes a grand case for the music's depth. (As for the odd embarrassing whitewash such as the 3 Friends' "Blanche," well, someone likes it.)

An interesting twist finds the third disc filled with favorites chosen by the likes of Keith Richards, George Carlin, and Art and Aaron Neville, while the final CD collects two dozen modern tracks that often stretch the boundaries of tribute. Still, it's fitting that the unstoppable a cappella group the Persuasions' 1977 "Looking for an Echo" ends the box. Along with its predecessors, Doo Wop Box III affirms that this blissful strain of American music indeed resonates 50 years after its development. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

The Weakest Link In The Chain.......2004-11-01

Doo Wop Box #3 has its moments - there are many really good tunes on it - but it falls far short of the first two sets, which were excellent. Disc 3 contains a couple of tunes that were featured in the first 2 sets but otherwise has some really scarce tunes. Disc 4 in this set is a complete waste of time and is suitable for use as a frisbee or coaster. Rhino really dropped the ball with this set. Buy the other two sets before investing in this.

The Weakest Link Of The Three.......2004-10-16

This set was a disappointment after the first two. I just didn't think that the set was put together that well. Many of the songs were picked by opinions that Doo Wop "experts" said needed to be in a box. It has its moments, but overall is not as strong as the first two. Make sure you get them before this one. This is definately a set to finish the collection from Rhino. Once again, the sound is great, as Rhino products are always top sounding (at least the ones I own).

Better than its current rating indicates.......2003-05-15

...While it's true that "The Doo Wop Box III" is not quite as consistent as "Box I" and "Box II," it's still an amazing compilation. I, for one, am glad that Rhino decided to compile a disc of modern doo-wop to show that the form isn't just a dead relic of the distant past. Doo-wop fans who don't know about The Persuasions are missing out on some great music. They certainly deserve to be included in a set like this. (Though I wouldn't necessarily have picked "Looking For an Echo" to represent them.) Doo-wop doesn't HAVE to come from the 1950s or 60s to be "pure." Just listen to the Neville Brothers' version of "We Belong Together." You're telling me that's not gorgeous, glorious music? Get real!

My only quibble with this set is that it includes a handful of tracks I already owned from the previous DWB sets. But that's such a minor detail that it hardly seems to matter. Not when it's offset by the inclusion of such mindbending tracks as "Newly Wed" by the Orchids -- which I never would have found had it not been for this set.

perfect? No....still great? Yes.......2003-03-24

Most people will compare this with the fabulous box sets I and II, unfortunately. This set doesn't have quite the sparkle of the first two, but is still great. I think Rhino should be complimented, but derided, for trying something a little different in this third offering. Regarding Disc 3 (entertainment figures' picks), the intriguing liner notes put their choices into good perspective. It seems Disc 4 ("modern" doo wop) offends a lot of people, but I think it's a fun disc. It clearly shows doo wop's pervasive influence on pop music. And it's obvious the modern groups are performing with love for the genre, and not in comic parody. A solid B+ , warranting any doo wop fan's purchase.

3 Clean closets and 1 dirty trick!.......2001-12-20

I wish that I could give this collection more stars. Boxes 1 and 2 were incredible, but it sounds like Rhino is really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Discs 1 and 2 are decent, 3 other than repeating a couple of songs available on the first 2 boxes (hello people! who is your target buyer? people who already own boxes 1 and 2 perhaps?....duh). Disc 4 was a remarkale misstep, taking Doo Wop out of the 'classic' venue and transporting it into the 'modern' age. It's nothing short of a small miracle that the majority of songs do pull it off (yes it is THAT "Whole Lotta Love" and THAT "Eye of the Tiger" in Doo Wop format). Still, for the price of this box set, getting songs that I already had owned (regardless of the star's picks) and a whole cd of 'interpretations' of Doo Wop standards was a sad affair and Rhino is a better lable than to pull this on a listener. You got me this time... if there is a Doo Wop Box 4 (and I doubt it) please don't trick me again.

A raw and powerful collection.......2002-01-18

Specialty records was best known as the folks who brought the likes of Little Richard to the fore in the 50s, but it's rawest and most powerful work of the era was with Black Gospel music. Unknown to almost everyone but Black churchgoers at the time, these were unquestionably the strongest and most emotional Black records of that time. No matter what your religious beliefs are, you will be awed and blown away by tunes like "Lord Lord Lord" by Alex Bradford, "My Rock" by the Swan Silvertones, the eerie "Prayer for the Doomed" by the Chosen Gospel Singers (don't listen to this one alone in a dark room, folks), and any of the selctions by Sam Cooke's Soul Stirrers, Dorothy Love Coates, and The 5 Blind Boys of Alabama. This is the high-energy stuff with the feeling that Soul Singers and rock & rollers have tried to capture ever since. A good companion piece to this is "The Great 1955 Shrine Concert" featuring many of the same artists. Only complaint about this collection-no liner notes telling us about the songs and artists. Either way, behold and be awed.

Listen to this soul stirring singing by Sam Cooke.......2000-06-14

Sam Cooke is a great legend. He sings with such an anointing. He feels what he sings and that is what makes this album a great one. I just get chill bumps when I hear him sing because he has a sweetly anointed voice. If you want to be sung to sleep physically or spiritually this is the perfect CD.

Hidden No More.......2007-05-07

Carla Thomas is one of the sweet Queens of Soul and the wonderful collection of unreleased gems shows that Carla recorded some great material, what's so amazing about this cd is the quality, one who listens to this will wonder why some of it wasn't released! several of these songs scream hit! "Loneliness", "Little Boy", "Life Saver" are just some of the hightlights, every fan of Carla should have this cd in their collection!

The Rarest Soul 45's.......2003-07-03

A tremendous batch of rare 45s -- chosen with no clear affiliation to any label or producer, but just because the music is great! The overall sound is deep soul, with a touch of funk -- down and dirty numbers that rock and groove with hard-hitting indie production, raw instrumentation, and vocals!

True gems--I play this constantly!.......2004-09-22

I was intrigued by these "lost gems" of songs from the early 1960s and was thrilled to first hear them. But now I realize I play this CD over and over. Most of these are GREAT songs--why weren't they released back then? I especially like the energetic "Gotta Tell It" by the Blossoms and "He's My Boyfriend" by Chris Anderson. Also, Donna Loren's "Muscle Buscle" is great. This is truly a combination of fun surf-type songs and soulful love songs.

C.D. PROVES THAT NOT ONLY TOP TEN RECORDS WERE GOOD!.......2002-10-28

THE SONGS IN THIS C.D. WERE NOT BIG 60'S HITS, HOWEVER THEY ARE GOOD!IT GOES TO SHOW THAT NOT ONLY TOP TWENTY MATERIAL DESERVES TO BE RE-RELEASED. THIS IS A BOUNCY, PERKY MUCICAL COLLECTION OF STUFF RELEASED BY "THE BLOSSOMS" (FEATURING DARLENE LOVE, LEAD SINGER), DONNA LOREN AND ANNETTE (BOTH FROM "BEACH PARTY" AMERICAN POP FILMS-BOTH GORGEOUS!!)AND OTHER 60'S GALS NOT AS WELL-KNOWN BUT CERTAINLY COULD SING!IF YOU LOVE GIRL GROUPS AND ARE TIRED OF THE USUAL RECORDS YOU FIND IN MOST C.D.'S OF THIS CATEGORY, THEN YOU ARE IN FOR A REFRESHING TREAT! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TYPE OF MATERIAL RELEASED,ESPECIALLY ANNETTE'S TWO SONGS FROM "THUNDER ALLEY".I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE A COMPLETE "BLOSSOMS" COLLECTION ("GOOD, GOOD LOVIN").BUY IT!!

It's a Blast!.......2002-10-13

All of these songs are really good. The ones by Annette, the Blossoms and Donna Loren are as good as anything by the Supremes, and the other songs are great, too. I just can't figure out why these weren't released to be hits! Is there a Volume II coming out anytime soon?

Fab, Fun and Fantastic!.......2001-12-17

I have one of the largest CD collections of girl-group music anywhere, and I was startled to see the MANY hits I did not have on this CD. The word "gems" is a perfect description. This is a blend of 1960s songs that each should have been #1, but have not been heard by most people.

A neophyte collector or fan of this music would love the CD, and the long-time fan will find a CD packed with fabulous songs that require playing over and over. The liner notes by girl-groups author John Clemente give a lot of extra interesting info, too.

Great Songs Great Variety!.......2001-12-07

If you are thinking about buying this CD...go for it. Outstanding compelation of songs. Keeps you really boppin'! I love it and bought a few as gifts this year for a few friends. They had the same reaction. HOpe Redbird comes out with another CD real soon!
