Customer Reviews:
An excellent collection of songs........2006-02-01
Being that I was born in the mid-eighties, I did not have the priveledge of growing up listening to music of this sort. When I found this CD among my dad's collection I decided to give it a listen because I recognized some of the songs. I'm very glad I did!
I greatly enjoy almost all of the songs, in particular The Kinks "All Day and All of the Night" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens.
The rest of the songs are top-notch "oldies" as well, easily recognizable classics. The only song I don't really care for is "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" by Jan & Dean, though it is still an okay song.
Overall, I would certainly recommend this CD... when you find one both a father and a daughter can easily enjoy together, it must be good.
Shame on the KID who put this one together.......2002-11-18
This is one BAD example of the music of this decade. First, the 60s started on JAN.one but I guess that dosen't count!
If your looking to get a handle on where R+R (all) comes from this turkey an't it.
I know all of the songs!.......2002-01-23
I hate compilation CD's that are supposed to be the best of something but manage to be the best of whatever singles the producer had lying around in the backseat of his car. This CD, however, is what it claims to be. I've never seen a compilation album with so many hits and so many recognizeable tunes. All of these songs are fun to listen to and the few songs you may not recognize are catchy 60-ish sounding riffs anyway. This is, by far, the most versatile CD I own.
A gorgeous CD.......2000-06-23
Hello. It's a real nice collection most of all because it includes some artist i thought I never heard again. Some of them as The Kinks, The Vogues or Jan and Dean aren't easy to find in some other collections. The sound is excelent and the artists are well selected. Congratulations.

More of the Best from the Undisputed Mecca of Soul.......2002-12-20
You would think that Volume 2 would be nothing but worthless leftovers from Volume 1 but nosiree! Top of the Stax Volume 2 proves that Memphis's immortal Stax Record company produced enough GREAT soul hits to fill not one but two volumes, nay even a third volume (hint! hint!). The Rise and Fall of Stax was the Rise and Fall of Great R&B, and gems like this exist to remind us how great our music once was.

Bobby Bland's uptown, brass-and-strings-drenched blues kept him on the charts long after gut-bucket kings such as Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters had dropped from black-radio airwaves. The artistic successes chronicled on this second volume of his greatest hits shouldn't come as a surprise, then, despite the frequent input of ultracommercial producer Steve Barri, who'd crafted AM hits for acts as diverse as the Grass Roots and the post-Motown Four Tops. Even with some accommodations to trends (the disco beat of "The Soul of a Man," chicken-scratching guitars here, there, and everywhere), Bland kept on being Bland, cutting country songs ("Today I Started Loving You Again") and blues standards ("Goin' Down Slow") and investing Dan Penn's "I Hate You" with a unique pungency. This disc performs a valuable service in lifting the veil from an often-overlooked period in the career of one of American music's most important interpretive singers. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:
Good compilation.......2004-10-10
I really am just writing this to clarify that the song titled "Whatcha Gonna Do?" (#12) that is listed as DMX is NOT DMX... any hip hop fan can tell you that this is Jayo Felony. How that got confused, I have no idea. That being said, this is a good compilation for starting with late 90's hip hop.
Top Hits of '98!.......2001-02-19
This compilation features hip hop hits that climbed the charts in 1998. This album starts you off with a Latino hit called "Still Not a Player" by Big Punisher (R.I.P.). Which was everyone's jam. "Money Ain't a Thing" by Jermaine Dupri feat. Jay-Z which is featured on both JD's & Jay-Z's album. Next there's the L.O.X.'s best song they ever made called "Money, Power, Respect" featuring DMX & Lil' Kim, tight beat. "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" by Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz has gotten so much airplay. Maybe it's their best song too. Track 5 is 2Pac's "love song" called "Do For Love". E-40 has A LOT of slow songs and "Hope I Don't Go Back" is one of them. But it's a nice joint. The next track will get you pumped-up from those last 2 songs, it's called "Party ain't a Party" by Queen Pen w/ Markell Riley, Mr. Cheeks, Nutta Butta, & Freaky Tah. Busta Rhymes will make you "Turn it up" on the next track. "Get At Me Dog" is DMX's first single with a tight beat. (which feature's Sheek of The L.O.X.) I'm not hatin', but Snoog Dogg sounds weak on this good song called "Still a G Thing"; a sequel to "Nuttin but a G Thing". The 2nd verse of the hook in "It's Alright are not for lil' kids ears. "It's NOT Alright" Ya heard? Then there's the most pumped-up song on the compilation called "Watcha Gonna Do". This song is tight! You'll be boppin' heads to this one. Tracks 13-18 are the weak tracks except #14; it's "N.O.R.E." by Noreaga, which should'eve been put with the good tracks (#1-12). Overall, I gave this CD 4 stars cause of tracks 13, 15-18. If you loved the rap music of '98, this one's for you.
Great Mix Of Hip Hop From 1998!.......2000-04-24
This album features some of 1998's tightest hip-hop tracks! The best songs are Still Not A Player, Deja Vu, Do For Luv, Horse & Carriage, NORE, Get At Me Dog, Whatcha Gonna Do, Still A G Thang, and I Got The Hook-Up! Buy this album today!
weak.......1999-11-08
people need to get the message and realize that commercial rap is not benificial to hiphop culture. these songs are weak, don't purchase it unless you're buying for someone you hate...
This Mix is hella tight!!!!!!.......1999-03-08
This cd's got some of the fattest drops of the whole year. Now you don't have to by an artist whole album to get the single!!!!!!!!Busta, Snoop, Lox, DMX, they're all here. Hella tight!!!!!!

Stevie Wonder grew up fast, as Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 makes plain. Collecting both Motown assembly-line gems ("My Cherie Amour") and the first flashes of his self-contained '70s funk-rock style ("Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours," a terrific cover of the Beatles' "We Can Work It Out"), this 20-bit remaster disc is a must-own, particularly for Original Musiquarium fans looking for insight into Wonder's artistic growth. It's far from mere research material, though; the cream of this genius's early work is some of Motown's best. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
Classic Stevie Wonder.......2007-06-03
If you like early Stevie Wonder, this is a great addition to your collection. Steveland Morris (his real name)simply improved year after year until the point of "Songs in the Key of Life", but this collection of his early songs includes classics that are a necessary part of any collection of the best of R&B, soul, or however you'd like to categorize his music.
the final conclusion of his motown era(1967-1971).......2004-12-25
the period from 1967-1971 was stevie wonder's final period of musical growth from the motown hit machine.on this greatest hits collection(volume 2),it has material from his late 1960s and early 1970s period extracted from the albums:"for once in my life"(1968)"my cherie amour"(1969)/"signed,sealed,&delivered"(1970)and his final motown breakaway album the personal,social-political album his first full length album statement"where i'm coming from"(1971).
the songs on this second collection of his greatest hits are not in chronological order,but it provides a great reflection of his growth as a prolific songwriter from this four year period.the only song on this collection that is not available on his regular motown albums is 'travelin'man'(1967)which is another classic wonder recording.for some strange reason, it was omitted (along with other more original superior songs that were held in the vaults from this same 1967 period) by motown from being included on his 1967 album "i was made to love her"what a terrible mistake of omission by motown!and it(along with the other more superior songs)were replaced with filler remakes of other songs! it was written by ron miller and bryan wells and was produced by wonder's older mentor,clarence paul.'travelin'man'was originally released on wonder's triple record album "looking back" which was released by motown in 1977,and is also available on a double disc set entitled "essential stevie wonder" which includes rarities such as 'kiss me baby'(1965)which was written by stevie and his older mentor clarence paul/and a live firecracker remake of 'high heel sneakers'(1965)/'happy street'(1964)from the album,"stevie at the beach"/'don't you feel it'(1964)/and the rare original single 'i call it pretty music,but the old people call it the blues'(1962)which was written by berry gordy and clarence paul.
heaven help us all.......2003-11-19
when i think about the south side of chicago
and being 10 or 11 years old the first song that comes
to my mind is track# 10,it was perfect for
that time and that place, after the riots and
everything else it was on time.i'm buying
the disc just for that song.
Genius, Part II.......2003-08-25
Stevie moves into the slick & funky 70s with a batch of classic singles and a couple minor missteps.
Wonder proved his genius with great records like "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," "If You Really Love Me," "For Once In My Life," "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday," and "My Cherie Amour," and he took on the other musical giants of the day, successfully reworking the Beatles "We Can Work It Out."
The syrupy "Never Dreamed You'd Leave Me In Summer" exposes the Achilles heal that has always dogged Wonder's career; such esoteric records gave credance to critics who argued that Wonder was more interested in displaying his musical genius than entertaining his audience. But the cream has always outwayed the crud on Wonder records.
Buy this CD, GREATEST HITS VOL. 1, and both volumes of ORIGINAL MUSIQUARIUM to build an overview of one of America's true musical geniuses.
stevie is classic.......2002-05-30

1966..Great year of songs........2007-01-05
All the hits and then some. Besides Winchester Cathedral and Wild Thing,
you can hear Loves makes the world go round and Double Shot, two one hit wonders that make you wonder why they did not go futher. Finally, i get to hear Walking my Cat named Dog by the obscure Norma Tanega, a folk-singer and party buddy to Dusty Springfield and Martha Reeves. I play this tape and Vol. 1 often and it probably has to do with graduating from middle school and entering Freshman year. Forever good tunes and Forever young.
If you're after the flavor of 1966 pop music, this is the CD you want!.......2006-03-25
1966 was a special year for me. That year many of my friends and I awaited being drafted, which almost certainly meant a tour in Viet Nam, an odyssey which began for me in August of that year. The songs on this CD are the ones that lightened the times for all of us in that era.
I'm a stickler for getting original recordings on CD, something which is getting rarer and rarer, especially with all the K-Tel and other releases consisting mostly of inferior sounding remakes. However, this CD seems to have all the original sounds I remember listening to in my first car (red '62 LeMans convertible) crusing around a year after graduating from high school. Additionally, there are several very-hard-to-find singles on this disc for which you'll pay a 'scalper' on this and other websites a lot of money for a rendition on another CD.
As to the fidelity, I can only say I'm very happy with the sound given the age of the original recordings. The Artwork and insert are minimal, but contain several interesting facts on some of the songs & artists represented on the CD. For example, it mentions the murder of the lead singer of the group who recorded "The Cheater," a song on this disc.
You won't be disappointed with this one. Well worth the price.

WDAS FM CLASSIC SOUL HITS, VOL, 2.......2006-03-19
THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY THE SMOOTH QUIET STORM MUSIC. THEIR ARE CLASSIC HITS LIKE THIS MUST BE HEAVEN BY BRAINSTROM, ALONG WITH FIRE AND DESIRE BY RICK JAMES AND TEENA MARIE. PICK IT UP YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
Just what I wanted.......2006-03-09
WDAS FM CLASSIC SOUL HITS,VOL.2 was just what I was looking for. it contains all the songs that meant something to me. It's a part of me.
This a great CD!.......2005-04-18
Over the years, Philly radio station, WDAS FM has compiled and released some great old school CD's. They seem to have a knack for picking the perfect songs for continuity and listening pleasure. On this particular project, they collected an endless stream of pleasure in one place. From the classic ballad "This Must Be Heaven" by Brainstorm to "Your Body's Here With Me" by the Ojay's! You can play this CD and just lay back and enjoy the exceptional songs...one after another!
this must be heaven!.......2003-08-04
everyone get this cd especially for ,"this must be heaven" by brainstorm ,it was the ballad of all ballads , n' it still is today, that song should put them into the hall of fame just for that alone! it's so beautiful! the other songs are out of sight too on here!! pick it up everybody!!
Best Slow Jam Compilation...Period........2003-05-30
While I don't know what WDAS is, I do know that they know good music. Buy this for "This Must Be Heaven" alone. Why has it taken so long for someone to show this song some love? This CD is better than any of the other "slow jam" compilations, due in no small part to its consistency. You will not need to skip any of these songs. While it does contain songs that are probably already in your collection (Fire and Desire, You Are My Starship), it also incorporates those songs that you've been waiting to appear on Slow Jams, Smooth Grooves, etc. (Kiss and Say Goodbye, Your Body's Here With Me). Whether you just want to relax, reminisce, or set the mood, this disc fits the bill.

Fantastic,if you Like Roger Troutman.......2007-04-01
A little more mellow and cool CD from Roger.Nice tunes.
You Can Never Get Enough!!.......2006-11-11
Another must-have album. Filled with tracks from "A Thin Line Between Love & Hate" & others. For any Zapp & Roger Troutman fan.
At first I didn't know what to make of the album but after a while, it really grew on me. Even the Christmas track, which was the oddest of all.
The only drawback was the amount of tracks!! I know 4 or 5 could've still been squeezed-in!! Oh... & the original "California Love" isn't good, lyrically.
I never expected less from Roger........2003-01-24
Roger Troutman could innovatively inspire grooves that would have you dancing before you even realized. But when he re-did a classic, you just knew it was going to be off the hook! Roger's vision, talent, enthusiasm are evident in such songs as "Thin line between love and hate", and "I will always love you". I will particularly direct your attention to "Easy" and "Livin' for the city" as Roger schools the music industry on what a remake is all about. But let's not forget about the originals. "Everybody get up" is reminiscent of the funkateer's energetic "So ruff so tuff" yet, with a refreshingly youthful hip-hop spin. Roger could hit you from any angle, and he was always eager to give you all he could. The jazzy, rhythmic "Play some blues" was a more cultural display of Roger's dirverse talents. Even though the live version of "Midnight hour" is a nice-to-have, I would have liked the original version included. Listening to this cd is a good starting point for those of you not familiar with the Zapp essence. For those of us already fans of Roger/Zapp clan, doesn't it make you miss him? My love to Roger, and may he rest in peace,- your adoring fan, Ian Christopher Epps.
Good.......2000-05-18
This is Good but not as Strong as the First Hits One.Still Roger is One Of The Greatest Talents Ever.His Music will Forever Live On.His Music is So Important.He was a Genius.
So they put the best jams in Vol 1--Vol 2 ain't no slouch!.......2000-02-29
I mean, those remakes of Stevie's "Living for The City" and "Easy" are great. It also has the underrated and underplayed "It Doesn't Really Matter" and "Get Up Everybody" and it puts good use to Shirley Murdock's fire-and-brimstone meets the Champaign Room vocals especially on "Chocolate City"--listeners must be warned, "California Love" here doesn't have Dre and 2pac, but that "doesn't really matter"...it is a good CD.
