Brighter Side,Kori Rowe,Independent,A dynamic blend of mid-tempo pop and smooth ballads. The album is full of tasty instrumentation, the music is positive and moving and Kori's rich earthy voice plays well on the ear. Think Sarah, think Jann, think Norah, think I should hear this.,Folk,Pop

4 out of 5 stars A Good Way to Remember the Early 1970's! :).......2001-04-30

This is the only one in the series that I own right now, although looking at some of the other CDs in this collection, that may not be the case for much longer. I bought this CD about 7 years ago, mainly for two of my favorite R&B songs of the early-70's period, First Choice's "Armed and Extremely Dangerous" and "I'm Doin' Fine Now" by New York City (where I was born and raised). In fact, I had bought the single of the latter song way back when I was 6 years old, one of my very first music purchases! :)

"Love Jones" and "Superfly" are such classics, although I'm more fond of "Love Jones." War's "The World Is A Ghetto" is so brilliant with the harmonizing vocals, as well as being really catchy and funky. Johnny Nash's "Stir It Up" is catchy reggae-pop, and The Four Tops' "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)" is a classic (Although it could also be called a relic, as Levi Stubbs sings the line "Cause it's my word, my WORD she'll obey.")

The most risque song on this CD is easily "Pillow Talk" by Sylvia (Robinson, of "Mickey & Sylvia" fame from the late 50's) in which she simulates an orgasm at the end of the song. Although she was not the first one to do that in a song (that honor, so to speak, would go to the Chakachas for their extremely randy "Jungle Fever" a year earlier, as the wonderful and informative liner notes point out), this song raised quite a stir in 1972 (in more ways than one!). It still never fails to turn heads, if you know what I mean! ;) After all, it WAS put out during the height of the sexual revolution!

This is a really good CD for those of us who wax nostalgic for some of that great early '70's music every once in a while!

5 out of 5 stars Great installment in a Great series.......1999-07-12

Vol. 10 of the Didn't it Blow Your Mind series is outstanding featuring such classics as "Superfly" and "Ain't No Woman" to more underrated and forgotten gems like "Leaving Me" by the Independents. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars "The best Jazz CD you've never heard of.".......1998-05-01

Here is improvised music at it's best, four guys playing with equal voices in a very cooperative way. This CD will probably be lost in the shuffle of everybody who ever owned an instrument releasing a CD in the 90's. IF YOU LIKE MODERN JAZZ WITH A FOCUS ON INTERPLAY AND ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS BUY THIS! I doubt it will be in print for very long. This is easily Chris Potter's best feature for all his talents as a sideman and his song FEAR OF FLYING should be a jazz standard for the 21st century. This is also one of the few CDs featuring Garry Dial's composing that is still in print. Kelly and Joel are two of the best and most sincere musicians out there so don't miss out. The only track that I don't care for is the last, because I feel it doesn't fit very well with the others.
