Let's Do the Hustle...!!!.......2007-03-20

Get out your leisure suit, bell-bottom slacks, mood ring, and platform shoes and boogie to this collection of 1970's classic instrumentals!! If you are too young to have been part of this era, then just enjoy the funky sounds! This is a fun collection (one of a series). My other favorite is the "Surf' collection. Have fun and have a 1970's party....plug in your lava lamp....and have fun.

Quite a good choice of instrumental themes, but... No full versions included!.......2007-03-06

Hey Rhino compilation geniuses: What about including edited versions of Eumir Deodato's "Also Sprach Zharatustra", and MFSB's "The Sound of Philadelphia (TSOP)"???... C'mon...!!!!

Muzak this AIN'T.......2006-08-24

Sometimes ya need to have just MUSIC in the background -- no words. Fortunately these classics haven't lost their "touch," and this CD definitely fills the bill ! Found this CD the best when driving long distances & for getting through the drudgery of housecleaning.

Let get it on! It's time to get down!.......2005-12-29

This is a pretty cool compilation of instrumentals from the '70s. 12 of the 18 songs here were Top Ten hits, with the rest being minor hits. The title says "rock" instrumentals, but only a few of the songs are actually rock. There is more funk and disco than rock here. One of the odder trends of the '70s was dance/pop versions of classical instrumetals, and this CD has three examples of that. They are kind of cheesy, but fun. This is the weakest of the "Rock Instrumental Classics" CDs, but it's still very good, despite not including anything from later than 1976.

More Than I Bargained For.......2001-10-25

I bought this album for one reason only, to get "The Hustle" and "A Fifth of Beethoven". And frankly, those are the only tunes I recognized on this album. So when the first track, "Joy", began I was mildly surprised. Back in the 70's the only radio I listened to was easy listening and classic stations, the kind that had very few commercials and hardly ever announced the name of songs. "Joy" was one of those I remember as being loosely based on a Bach symphony, a nice bouncy tune that I liked. Already this album was more than I bargained for. The next track I remember was "TSOP", another one of those that I never knew the name of but enjoyed hearing.
"Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)" was also based on a classical work (don't remember the composer) and which is better known as the theme to "2001 A Space Odyssy". It's okay as far as being a juiced up classical, but nothing spectacular. "Rock and Roll, Part 2" I also remember mostly as being played a lot at football games.
And then track 13, "Popcorn", started. I nearly fell out of my chair!!! This was a song that I absolutely fell in love with back in the 70's and never knew the name of. For the reason mentioned above, that the station I listened to never mentioned the song titles. But for a year or so I spent hours listening to the radio just to hear this one. After reading the insert I know that "Popcorn" was one of the moog hits from that era. Even after almost 30 years it stills takes my breath away.
The rest of the album isn't even worth a single star (IMHO), but that's just me. "Popcorn", "The Hustle", and "A Fifth of Beethoven" make this album well worth having.

Priced Right for the '70's Obsessives'..........2002-10-06

I like this CD because I get a very good classic soul mix, and I get to save a few dollars from not having to purchase a box set or anthology mix for the tunes I want to hear. For example, this is one of the few CDs that has that Jerry Butler/Brenda Lee cut "Ain't Understanding Mellow?" (a 'blue lights in the basement' track around here) that ain't in some [price] greatest hits compilation. I get The Commodores "Sweet Love" and Luther Ingram's classic "(If Loving You is Wrong) I don't Want to Be Right" on one CD. And I get the Ahhh-hah! without chasing down the right time they play certain of these jams on the classic R and Bee radio station here. Like, they seldom play that nice "Misty Blue" by Dorothy Moore. Well, I don't have to wait till the station decides to play it....

Setting The Mood.......2000-05-27

This Album has all The Right Songs.Just Having Marvin,Barry ALone is a Must.but also The Great Norman Conners You are my Starship which is The Cut.The Songs Just Flow here.Very Essential for Setting The Mood.

The best love-jam album on the market........1998-12-24

Of all the "70s Soul" albums crowding the market and the shelves, this one is among the best. From Barry White's opening plea to Jerry Butler's closing beseachment, the album flows like butter. Butter for your ears, that is. You really can't go wrong with the likes of Luther Ingram gracing your album, dig? If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right; if bein right means needing ANOTHER soul album besides this one then I'd rather live a wrongdoin life.

Just as Volume one displayed a wide range of funk classics, Volume two returns with another collection of high quality hits from the 70's. I thought that this album really represented funk in its prime.

Album Description

2CD set and Digitally Remastered. A really heavy duty collection featuring some of the biggest names in soul music. These are the grand masters of funk, the bandleaders and artist who provided the dynamic sound track for an exciting decade. When you've got James Brown singing 'I Got Ants In My Pants' you know you're in for an itchy night out. And when Isaac Hayes tells you to 'Do Your Thing' then you'd better believe it. All musical aspects of the genre are represented, from the driving dance rhythms of Sly Stone to the more introspective instruments work of Timmy Thomas, the organist who caused quite a buzz with 'Why Can't We Live Together.' Here are the great vocal groups, the Isley Brothers and Gladys Knight and the Pips and the soulful balladeers like Bobby Womack, Al Green and the late great Curtis Mayfield. In the words of the Dramatics 'Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get.'

Excellent Soundtrack of the Decade.

Good Set.......2001-05-27

before Burning Cd's became all the rage these kind of Compilations were very essential in that they had a few songs that you had to have."Let's Groove""Call Me" are just some of the songs that make this a cool Satuarday Night Party Set.if you just want your standard Radio Hits then this is for you.
