Customer Reviews:

Lost Opportunity.......2007-03-24

The problem with this collection is not the music selected - a look at the tracks will show that. However, the sound quality is abysmal. I owned many of these songs as 45s and the music would often jump right out of the speakers. This collection sounds dull and lifeless. Atlantic used the master tapes made for the vinyl version released in the 80s, with all the limiting and compression needed to squeeze the music onto an LP intact. The rhythmic, driving quality of the bass is bled away along with the highs. A complete disappointment. Demand a refund.

Damaged Goods.......2007-03-15

Disappointed to find that a selection like this is sent in a damaged state with scratches and scuffs to the CD box when the outer cardboard box is in excellent condition.

essential.......2007-03-10

any serious music fan should have this. a shocking amount of great, great stuff.

Une magnifique compilation.......2007-02-14

C'est par hazard que j'ai découvert ce best of d'Atlantique. Je l'ai acheté après avoir écouté les "short cuts" sur amazon. Les 8 CD's sont fantastiques, la plupart des enregistrement nous sont parvenus avec une grande fraicheur pour la qualité du son (sauf peut être 1 ou 2). Tout y est, parfaitement organisé dans un classement chronologique. On percoit très clairement les évolutions musicales qui se sont produites pendant cette période. Mais les rythmes, la diversité des inspirations et des couleurs musicales, la richesse des voix nous font toujours vibrer.
La plaquette est un petit chef d'oeuvre ou l'on retrouve les bios des artistes, les classements aux charts avec les dates, les studios ou ont été faites les prises, ainsi que les musiciens qui ont acompagnés les des enregistrement (Booker T. Jones, Isaac Hayes, Womack, ....). Un achat de qualité qui ne pourra qu'enthousiasmer l'amateur.

The real R&B sound !.......2007-02-02

Very good CD's set. Buy a part of the R&B of the 20th century with these discs and get back in these fines years! I can listen to very famous tracks, and many more I have discovered with a lot of pleasure. This set is boxed like a LP set. It failed by contening only 8 dics ;-)

1962 one of the great years in rock .......2005-07-28

Billboard has many great rock n roll hit compilations, but this is one of my favorites. Green Onions is a great instrumental hit, Duke of Earl is a timeless classic from doo wop, and Peppermint Twist Part 1 and the Locomotion were two of the most popular dances that year. All in their original versions!

A good CD despite having only 10 songs - but BUYER BEWARE!.......2005-01-25

In 1988/9 Rhino introduced its superb "Top Rock'n'Roll Hits" (1955-1974) series featuring 20 years of music on 20 CDs at 10 songs per year / per disc. (Hey, neat-o!)

Then in 1993 Rhino reissued the discs in the subset spanning 1960-1969 thus creating two different versions of each in the process. Because these discs are available via Amazon Marketplace, who knows which ones you'll get if you buy them used! If this is important to you, be sure to ask the seller(s) before placing your order(s).

The most obvious visual differences between the two editions are the song titles on both the front covers and the actual CDs. The 1988/9 editions feature mixed-case titles. The 1993 editions feature uppercase titles.

The 1993 editions also have the songs listed on the covers in the same order in which they appear on the discs. The 1988/9 editions list the songs in an almost random order which can be very frustrating while the disc is being played.

The song selections are also different; some moreso than others. For 1962 only track 1 was changed.

1988 (1) The 4 Seasons, "Big Girls Don't Cry"
1993 (1) Booker T. & The MG's, "Green Onions"

In this case, I definitely prefer the 1993 edition because "Green Onions" is just so friggin' awesome! It's interesting that Rhino decided to swap out a song about crying with a song about onions. If it had been called "White Onions" there'd be no way those girls could hold back their tears no matter how big they are.

[Note: To my knowledge, the CDs spanning 1955-1959 and 1970-1974 have not been revised. One may also surmise that Rhino believes rock-n-roll died with the advent of disco since the title used for the discs spanning 1975-on-up is simply "Top Hits" - not to be confused, of course, with Rhino's other, similar series, "Top Pop Hits".]

Stingy, stringy, stingy.......2004-11-03

Once again, we have 10 measly songs, all good ones. They were hits in 1962; I remember them well; I was there. They touched me. If you care about the chronology of hit songs, the times they represent, buy this CD. I just don't know why they don't charge $2-$3 more and double the number of songs on the CD. I can name 10 more just like them from 1962 but I won't bore you further. Four stars this time for too few songs.

doo-wop doo-wop.......2002-06-30

Green Onions the cool hammond organ sound,one reason why i learned to play the keys
Duke Of Earl (before rap)
Soldier Boy the saxophone sendup harmony
Sheila tommy roe's buddy holly sound
Peppermint Twist-did you see joey d on the pbs doo-wop&pop special?
Locomotion written by carol king but i like the grand funk version better
The Wanderer hey its Dion's bad boy song
Breaking Up Is Hard to do, the 1st version by neil sedaka doo-wop style,great harmonies neil multi tracked
Johnny Angel a pleasing pop sound but does it try to hard for a dream?
Palisades Park a summer hit for the amusement park of that time
good listening in the car while driving

Call me the moment you get there.......2006-01-06

This is Aretha's first album released in the 1970's. Then, she was not any longer as hot as her early days at Atlantic in 1967-1968 but she still managed to get TOP 20 albums and singles now and then.
THIS GIRL'S IN LOVE WITH YOU, released in January 1970, was mainly composed of remakes of other artists's hits: SON OF A PREACHER MAN, LET IT BE, DARK END,...
In my opinion, the best tracks here are the hit single from the album (CALL ME) and the superb ELEANOR RIGBY, which sounds even better than the original, with its R&B arrangement.
It's not Aretha's best work but it's close. Not enough original material maybe. The LET IT BE remake is awful, SON OF A PREACHER MAN is not as good as the original but all these songs together with a few good songs and the two great tracks make this collection a rather good one.

One of my Aretha Favorites.......2005-05-31

If I had to pick my top 3 favorite Aretha albums, This Girl's in Love with You would be one of them (the other two are I Never Loved a Man and Soul 69). Personnally, I found this album more enjoyable than what what was to be her next album, Spirit in the Dark. Her version of "Son of a Preacher Man" is a classic example of Aretha's talent of taking someone else's material (in this case Dusty Springfield) and revolutionizing the sound. The other tracks of the album grew on me, such as the Aretha classic, "Call Me". Her version of "Sit Down and Cry" is both sexy, subtle and a gut-bucket of emotion, reminiscent of the raw emotion in "I Never Loved a Man." Her brilliant, near-transcendent cover of "Dark End of the Street" is for me the highlight. The concept of the song is beautiful and Aretha interprets it lyrically and, not uncharacteristically, with wonderful power

Great album but..........2004-10-24

Dusty Springfield's version of the title track is still the definitive version in my opinion. Strangely, it's the same case with "Son of A Preacher Man". Aretha's version is fine, but nowhere near as good as Dusty's.

But Aretha's work here is stellar, and certainly making the case that she is the Queen of Soul. No question!

Moving assuredly into the 70s.......2004-03-16

Firstly, with March 25th looming, let's all wish the queen a very happy 62nd birthday. Certainly within the baby-boomer generation she was and still is the greatest female singer to arrive. We perhaps might allow Streisand to stand at Aretha's right hand, but all others are at least a step behind. You don't have to take my word for it; look among her work offered here on Amazon and just start counting how many of her albums average a full, filled-in five stars.

Aretha and her fans beheld a new decade as this one, originally Atlantic LP 8248 was released on January 15, 1970. It carried many sides that had already gained popularity as singles in '69: "The Weight" (Atlantic 2603 in February), "Share Your Love With Me" (Atlantic 2650 in July) and "Eleanor Rigby" & "It Ain't Fair" (Atlantic 2683 in October). Six days after the album came out "Call Me" & "Son Of A Preacher Man" made the two sides of another single (Atlantic 2706). Aretha had had first dibs on "Preacher Man" and initially took a pass, but then Dusty Springfield grabbed it and took her version into the Pop top 10 in late 1968; Aretha changed her mind about that one. Both versions are quite enjoyable. Later, in July, "Let It Be" would ride the b-side of "Don't Play That Song" (Atlantic 2751).

Speaking of remakes, with the title song, Aretha does again here what she managed with another song that had been a Dionne Warwick hit first, just like "I Say A Little Prayer." In each instance, she so magically recast the songs that I think if she'd sung them in a different language, you'd have difficulty convincing someone (even yourself!) that they were the same songs. Only the lyrics are your clue. I've read that when Aretha takes someone else's song, they can't take it back again. I don't know that I agree to the point of saying Warwick's versions of the two songs were no longer enjoyable - they are. But I do agree to the point that when Aretha recasts any song for her own interpretation, that version then becomes uniquely hers, and no one else can do it like her. If that's not genius, folks, what is?

Queen Aretha at the top of her game; my favorite Atlantic album.......2001-06-24

This album is a masterpiece, and is my personal favorite of Aretha's secular Atlantic releases. It is absolute proof that when Aretha is "on," no one could (or can) touch her. TGILWY has some supernatural vocals -- all of the acrobatics, uncanny phrasing/timing, subtle interpretations, squalls, and different shadings of her late 60's/early 70's work are here, with a range that can at times just leave you dumbfounded. You can't help but wonder what kind of faces she made when she hit some of those notes.

With the sole exception of The Weight, each cut here is absolute perfection from a soul/blues perspective, seasoned with heavy doses of gospel influences. The Weight, while not awful, is certainly out of place in this set and some feel it doesn't belong in Aretha's catalog at all (although it was a moderate hit for her at the time).

But Aretha's interpretations of the two Beatles' songs are priceless, as is her cover of Son Of A Preacher Man. And the blues songs, Sit Down And Cry & It Ain't Fair are better heard than written about. Her own Call Me is southern soul at its finest, topped off by a beautifully understated string arrangement.

Sonically, this album is one of Atlantic's worst, with lots of airy "hiss." It's time for a true remastering, not what Rhino sometimes passes off as such. This is even more of a pity considering that this is one of Aretha's best efforts ever, and that's really saying something.

Aretha is a highly underrated blues/gospel pianist. TGILWY marks the final time when she would accompany herself on each and every song of an album.

As a hardcore Aretha fan that owns virtually everything she released, I've learned to tell it like it is when it comes to her music. Like any artist, she's had a few moments that don't do her justice but this album is NOT one of them. Sonic quality aside, I would highly recommend this album to anyone that wants more exposure to 'Ree beyond the endless greatest hits packages, or anyone that wants a sample of what the epitome of soul was back in early 1970.

Long live Queen Ree. May Rhino soon properly remaster this set AND release some outtakes from this time period that remain in the vaults.

Nothing's ever topped the golden age of soul for party music, and this four-CD set offers the distilled essence of the good times from those difficult years. Where Rhino's Beg, Scream & Shout! and Can You Dig It? compilations are thoughtful, wide-reaching surveys of the range of soul music in the '60s and '70s, respectively, Soul Spectacular! has exactly one thing on its track listing: mammoth crossover hits that add up to one blockbuster of a party. Of its 90 tracks (all presented in their original single versions), 47 were No. 1 and 15 topped the Pop and R&B charts. As such, the poles the set revolves around are Detroit (the Apollonian glories of Motown and Hot Wax: refined, orchestrated, and quality controlled) and Memphis (the Dionysian thrills of Stax, Volt, and the scene around them: raw jams that sounded like they'd been caught on tape by happy accident), but every other place in the country that was capable of turning out a national smash is represented, too. The '60s, for these purposes, extend back to definitive 1959 hits by Ray Charles and Barrett Strong; the '70s of soul peter out sometime around 1974, with a final appearance courtesy of the Manhattans' aptly named "Kiss and Say Goodbye," from 1976. By then, the vocal intensity of soul was taking a back seat to the new and slicker beats of funk and disco. But Soul Spectacular! is also a tribute to an era of independence and innovation, the years when tiny labels (their names like found poetry: Nola, Arctic, Par-Lo, Ovide, Bamboo) could make the whole country dance for a few weeks, if only because they found a groove nobody had discovered before. --Douglas Wolk

Customer Reviews:

No Sam or Stevie?.......2006-03-02

I ain't dropping stars for this one because it is absolutely brilliant as far as I am concerned. Love every track from head to toe BUT not only is there no Sam Cooke but there's no Stevie Wonder either. So maybe the title should have been 'The Greatest Soul Hits of all Time without arguably the 2 MOST influential Soul artists of all Time' certainly 2 of the top 5 eh? Aretha, Ray and Otis are here. Anyway back to the set and it is a fantastic list of brilliant, well known and some hidden, gems! Production is good - sounds like the originals to me! 'Cept they don't have that little crackle that my record player used to create! If you wanna buy this and are just checking the reviews to tip the scales - I say DO IT! You WILL love it, but you might just wanna get a Sam & Stevie best of set to go with it.

Rhino 4CD Soul Box Familiar , "Spectacular" Starter Set.......2004-12-23

If Rhino's 4CD "Soul Spectacular" had been released in the mid-1980s it may have stood with Clapton's "Crossroads" and Bob Dylan's "Biograph" as among pop's essential box sets. Success of films like "Dirty Dancing" and "The Big Chill" returned many of these songs to public awareness as baby boomers recognized them as part of the idealized soundtrack of their lives. As Ben Edmonds says in the liner notes, "This music isn't simply of its time; it embodied it." This was a far cry from music critic Dave Marsh once wondering in the mid-1970s if Wilson Pickett and other soul giants would one day be available only on bootlegs.

But the more than 20 years since have seen these songs anthologized countless times on soundtracks,hits and anthology collections (yours truly once owned every one of these songs in one recorded format or another) and played daily on oldies radio. (Barbara Mason's grand 1965 original, "Yes I'm Ready," far from the biggest hit here, has aired more than one million times.)

This collection's best and worst point is its familiarity. Even casual pop music fans know the signature songs of the Temptations, Mary Wells, Percy Sledge, Ben E. King and others here. No choice is a glaring misstep but some are questionable: why "I Count the Tears" from the Drifters instead of 1964's more popular "Under the Boardwalk" or 1959's more influential "There Goes My Baby?" Why James Brown's now-cliched "I Got You (I Feel Good)" over "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," one of music's most aggressive, important singles? Let alone essential performers (Sam Cooke? The Dells? Jerry Butler?) left out altogether. Motown, pop culture's most active recycling plant, whips through 1962-3 songs from the Miracles, Vandellas and Supremes; only three Motown hits are heard across discs 2-3.

Those two middle discs are the set's best as they zip through a variety of styles: Muscle Shoals soul (Sledge, Brook Benton) Philadelphia (Fantastic Johnny C, Intruders, Delfonics), Chicago (Barbara Acklin, Billy Stewart) and, of course, Memphis and Detroit giants. Each artist is represented by one song except Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding, featured on solo and duet track each. The liner notes tell little more than oft-told tales of Stax and Motown's records respective founding.

"Soul Spectacular" is just that; 90 clear-sounding classics worth playing at any party or road trip without a dud in the bunch (at least until deep into disc four with one too many smooth Philadelphia International ballads in a row.) It's a first-class soul starter set, with greatest hits sets from any major individual artist listed an essential buy.

A True Spectacular Even Without Mr. Cooke!.......2004-06-30

It is truly one of the best collections I have ever seen/heard!
Ok, it doesn't include Sam Cooke, but hey, you can't have everything! It has NEARLY everything BUT Sam Cooke!
Rhino obviously couldn't obtain the rights to Sam's music, but they have done a great job of obtaining some of the best of the Stax/Volt, Atlantic, Motown and other great Soul Recording Labels!
Several of these tunes have been PLAYED TO DEATH by 'Oldies' radio formats-- MOST OF THE MOTOWN STUFF--, but there are many gems in this set of CD's amongst the 'standards'--Gems like CRY BABY by Garnett Mimms, WALKING THE DOG by Rufus Thomas, MEMPHIS SOUL STEW by King Curtis, LOVE IS A HURTIN' THING by Lou Rawls, and oh so many more! There are 88 songs to choose from, and if you want a decent collection of Soul & R&B oldies, this is it!
I am a bit of a musicologist and
have studied this music for 20 plus years, and I must say that this is a very groovy 4 CD set for Musical Novices and Experts alike! I'm impressed!
I didn't rate it 5 stars because I agree that leaving Mr. Cooke out is not cool!

Brilliant, Cooke or no Cooke.......2002-05-18

Often when a particular artist is not included in a collection it is because rights were not available for use of his/her recordings. That aside, this box set could not have a more accurate title -- it is spectacular in every sense. The PBS tie-in concert is a fund-raising staple for good reason -- 40 years of brilliant music performed by some of the greatest entertainers of the century. See it, hear it, buy it, love it!

for one reason only.......2002-05-08

Not one Sam Cooke song? You've got to be kidding.

Some old favourites, and some unfamiliar, enjoyable voices and songs.......2007-03-11

This compilation has the usual songs that immediately bring the name of composer Victor Herbert to mind - Ah, sweet mystery of life, I'm falling in love with someone and Tramp, tramp, tramp - with such well known voices as those of Macdonald, Eddy and the famous tenors, Richard Crooks, Richard Tauber and Charles Kullmann.

Perhaps of greater interest to many listeners will be the relatively seldom heard artists, such as John McHugh, Florence Easton and Florence George. All three have very pleasant voices and aural personalities.

It is a somewhat mixed delight to hear Amelita Galli-Curci, John McCormack, Alma Gluck and Richard Werrenrath in recordings from the acoustic era. My personal favourite from that group is Galli-Cutci's charming version of A kiss in the dark.

Altogether, a well chosen mixture of the familiar and the out of the way, carefully and well re-recorded.

Extravagance in packaging is no vice, especially when the media--six CDs wrapped in mockup 45 sleeves inside one of those carrying cases that were the in thing for late-'60s singles buyers--so perfectly enhance the sounds contained within. Of course, it's what's in the digital bitstream that counts, and Beg, Scream & Shout!'s selections are masterfully chosen. Unlike Rhino's excellent but somewhat predictable R&B Box, this one strikes a better balance between well-known hits and artists and great sides by second-tier acts. This approach allows many more surprises to break through over the course of the 144 tracks, almost all presented in single-mix mono. Half-remembered, too-little-heard, never-heard--a big part of the experience of the soul decade is here, with even the most familiar tunes thrown into relief by the jumble of chronology and styles. Whether the most indelible legends (James, Aretha, Otis), unjustly forgotten stars (Joe Simon, Tyrone Davis), or great one- and two-shot voices, the set just keeps moving with smart selections. Grand discoveries abound--Otis Clay's "That's How It Is (When You're in Love)," which begins with the singer imploring, "Please, somebody take your hand and slap some sense in me"; C & the Shells' Jerry "Swamp Dogg" Williams-penned "You Are the Circus (I Am the Clown)"--plus original versions of "Tainted Love" (by Gloria Jones), "Mustang Sally" (by its author, Sir Mack Rice), "Piece of My Heart" (by Erma Franklin, Aretha's sister), "He Was Really Sayin' Something" (by the Velvelettes), and "Leaving Here" (by Eddie Holland). Consistently revelatory and fun, fun, fun, this is pretty much everything a genre box should be. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

One of the greatest box sets ever released.......2003-11-12

This is not only a spectacular assemblage of some of the greatest music ever released, it is arguably the greatest packaging job of all time. While I know some will wonder why there are not specific songs from their favorite artists included, they miss the point. This is a beautiful archive of the greatest musical decade of the rock era. The fact that each artist gets just one track, and there are nearly 150 different artists represented, is mute testimony to the unbelievable wealth of great music released in a mere ten years. Should you also own Star Time, Emporers of Soul, The Master, Otis!, and The Queen of Soul (to name a few and all five star boxes in their own right)? Absolutely. But I have found more undiscovered jems in this set than even the brilliant first volume of Stax/Volt singles. If you have any love at all for the golden age of soul music, get off your wallet and spring for this masterpiece. While your at it, buy one for your soul-loving friend as a Christmas present. You/he/she may never listen to anything else.
As an aside to "music lover" from El Paso. Don't denigrate the overall impression of this collection simply because you are not happy with whatever retailer you were stiffed by. I understand your frustration, but an awful lot of people look to this site (and its star rating system, which I wish they would dispense with) for advice on what music is worth spending their hard earned dollars on. I also hope you eventually get the thing, because you will wish there was a sixth star to give it.

Superb!!!.......2003-06-01

I have had this set for about 3 years, now, and I still play something from it, practically, on a daily basis. This is the source code, right here. If you could rate something 100 stars, I would rate this set 100 stars. Lots of very cool originals, that you never heard, that were later covered by other artists. For instance, you can imagine Janice Joplin, as a teenager, hearing Garnett Mim's, "Cry Baby", being inspired by it, and then covering it when she got her career going. LOVE this set! NEED a sequel, Rhino!!!

the last word on sixties soul collections.......2003-01-30

from the first burst to the last blast rhino serves it up until your ear hole runneth over. this heart warming, soul stirring collection contains almost every sonic memory from my mother's stack of 45's and quite a few cuts I'd never heard before. while the BEG discs are comprised of ballads SCREAM & SHOUT are full on party discs.put them all in your multi-disc player, hit shuffle and let the music take over your mind. if you're a fan of 60's soul you WILL NOT be disappointed. bless you rhino records

NOTHING LIKE THOSE OLDIES BUT GOODIES.......2002-09-13

I think this is an excellent CD. The best compilation of oldies I've come across to date; most of the oldies compilations contain the same songs over and over again. The Beg, Scream & Shout! 60's Box Set is unique - it contains songs I've yet to come across on other oldies CD's. I have two oldies albums from the 60's that sound scratchy and I was unable to find a replacement album, CD or cassette on the internet. Well, I'm happy to say the Beg, Scream & Shout CD set contains at least 12 songs from my 2 albums, plus additional favorites I thought I'd never hear again. I have to applaud you for this one. The groups today do not sound as good as the groups from back in the day - the old school groups sang about LOVE and sang the songs with feeling.

The Coolest 60's Soul Box Set Ever.......2002-05-02

If you're tired of hearing about the grapevine or sitting on the dock of the bay, this soulful box set is for you. Superstars are represented by left-field selections (i.e. Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get A Witness", The Supremes "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart"), while contributions from cult faves and one-hit wonders are treated with r-e-s-p-e-c-t (to quote another overplayed soul classic). And the idea of featuring only one song by each artist is brilliant.

I just got my copy of LuLu's "Orphan Girl" this morning. Already I have listened to it twice. It is a great CD. LuLu has chosen some very special songs for this album; it is a very personal collection. And just like a wine fine, age has done her justice. Her voice, honest and seasoned, brings out the emotions in each song. There is something for everyone on this CD: gospel, blues, bluegrass; it's all here. I highly recommend this collection to any country music fan. Miss LuLu--you go, girl!

Some Truly Masterful Pop Hits!!!.......2006-05-31

There's very little that can go wrong when putting together an all-star compilation of number one hits from the golden years of rock and roll and soul music.
There are so many classics on these discs that one would never have to return to their oldies station again....because it would be playing these songs (plus a lot more Beatles and Stones, but you should have all of those albums already).
That being said, what is popular is not always great, and what is great is not always popular. A few tracks that I could've done without are "Eve of Destruction," "He's So Fine" and a few others (I don't like HSF just because of all the bull**** that track caused for George Harrison, and the fact that it's lame). Some of my favorite standouts that I hadn't really heard before are the poppin fresh and laidback instrumental "Grazing in the Grass," the mysterious country flavored tune "Ode to Billie Joe," and the light and funny jam "In the Summertime"...all of which are on the 4th and most solid disc.
The other discs are definitely decent to great, and overall it's an excellent collection for someone looking to get some tried and true old hits.

Dick clarks number ones of the 50,s,60s,70,s truly rocks for all ages........2006-01-04

This album takes you thru the 50,s 60,s,and 70,s all grade a hits.The songs on this 6 cd set will trully show you what radio was about,before the music became formatted,and pre-packaged,like many of todays radio stations.In new york city,we no longer have an oldies station,nor even a country music channel,on fm...How sad. I thank you from stewart L.

Nice trip thru the years........2005-09-21

I purchased these six (6) CDs and I am very pleased with the selections and quality. They take you thru the decades and I knew all the songs. You won't be disappointed if you purchase this box-set. After all, Dick Clark's name is on this package.

3 1/2* If You Like the Isley BrothersýTry Maze.......2000-12-12

This is smoooooth but funky music a la the Isley Brothers. I could not believe this group when I heard them in the eighties. Amidst the homogenized sound of much disco music came the soaring vocals and blistering guitar of Maze. Quite a feat, when only Chaka, the Isleys, some of Michael Jackson's work and a few others seemed to test the commercial limits.

"Southern Girl" is heavily Isley influenced with a great guitar break and is quintessential Maze. Unfortunately, most of the other songs aren't quite up to this level. "Back in Stride" steals a riff or two from Jackson: It's very danceable with great funk bass and good vocal ensemble work. Like a good brandy it goes down easy; not as funky as Sly but not as polished down/diluted as many disco hits. "Never Let You Down" is somewhat forgettable, and "Joy and Pain" is a good Isley Brothers- inspired disco ballad. The band reenters the groove with "I Wanna Be With You," where Beverly adds some soulful vocal accents and a rawer edge, and the guitar is featured a little more prominently. I'd like to hear more vocals like this, Beverly's voice cuts through instrumentation extremely well. Travelin' Man is another great example of Isley flavored guitar. This group is at its best when it lets out the funk. If you like the title cut, look for more songs in that mode.

Frankie Beverley combines the smooth sexy soul of Harold Melvin (though not as deep or resonant) with a few well-timed, wonderful gutteral screams (think James Brown, Prince). Though the music isn't as sweaty or creative as JB or the Purple One, this is one of the overlooked groups of the era.
