I think "For once in my life" is one of the best Stevie Wonder album; it's full of great songs, and I love them all; together with "My cherie amour" is the best Wonder's album on the '60

The Spirit of Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: Ray Charles

Release Date September 02, 1997
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS, incorporating elements of gospel, soul, big band and jazz. Rhino's reissue includes a bonus track, the Charles-Betty Carter duet "Baby, It's Cold Outside."

The best secret here is the song "That Spirit of Christmas" which can be heard in th movie Christmas Vacation. Worth the price of the cd alone.

Many tracks are classic Christmas songs done in Ray's soulful style. It's a nice change from the typical Christmas albums, and it's one everyone can agree on. Amazing, blind since the age of six (from glaucoma), Charles studied composition and learned many instruments at the St. Augustine School for the Deaf and the Blind. What a gifted musician!!

Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five

by: Jordan Louis & His Tympani Five

Release Date July 10, 2001
Simply put, for its value this is one of the greatest collections of CD's of utter joy and happiness around.

This multivolume set covers the early music and musical peak of the musical and comical link between Bert Williams and Louis Armstrong (LJ's dad was a friend of Bert's and used his records to inspire his son, and Satch was a mentor and occasional collaborator with LJ) and the first generation of R&B rockers (Ray Chalres, the Godfather, B.B. King, and Little Richard have all sang their praises to LJ).

Some of his really rare early music is found on the early discs. It took him a while to find his style of humorous stories told to a beat and inspired sax playing, but there are still some diamonds in the rough here. ... Read More:

To Be Continued...

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: The Temptations

Release Date October 24, 2006
I give this cd a 4 star. Though the men have excellent vocals, I don't know; I wasn't really moved by any of the songs. They seemed overproduced and too slick and poppish. My spirit wasn't moved. There is nothing like communing with the spirit(s). I know I am comparing in my head their 1975 A Song for You, which I absolutely loved. The music and the songs stay in my head long after I have taken them out of my cd player. All of the tracks moved me in some way. That cd seemed more earthy.

I really liked this cd, but love, no. However, I would highly recommend it. As I said, the vocals are excellent.

The Ultimate Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: Gladys Knight & the Pips

Release Date October 07, 1997
A search in Music under the heading Ultimate Collection will garner you thousands of hits, and even searching in Album Title will result in quite a few, ranging from Benny Hill and George Formby to 10cc and The Who, and just about everyone in between. Even Motown uses Ultimate Collection on a number of their CDs, but the best of the lot where they are concerned is this series, each with 25 tracks and similar cover art by David Irvin, and involving Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Four Tops, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Marvelettes, Martha (Reeves) & The Vandellas, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, Gladys Knight & The Pips, and Mary Wells.

This one covers one of the classiest ladies to emerge in the 1960s and her back-up ... Read More:

Clyde McPhatter & the Drifters/Rockin' & Driftin'

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: The Drifters

Release Date August 11, 1998
When, in 1953, Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic Records approached Clyde McPhatter, who had just left what would turn out to be another legendary group, Billy Ward and his Dominoes, and asked him to form a new group called The Drifters, he did so by bringing in tenors William "Chick" Anderson and David "Little Dave" Baughan, baritone David Baldwin, and bass James "Wrinkle" Johnson each of whom, like McPhatter, had once been part of The Mount Lebanon Singers.

This formation cut one notable side, Lucille, before Ertegun, seeking a different sound, asked McPhatter to re-organize. This time he recruited brothers Gerhart (baritone) and Andrew (second tenor) Thrasher, high tenor Bill Pinkney, bass Willie Ferbee, and guitarist Walter Adams, and among their initial ... Read More:

Genius + Soul = Jazz/My Kind of Jazz

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: Ray Charles

Release Date June 10, 1997
This album features Ray Charles with the Count Basie Orchestra (without the Count). Eight of the tracks are instrumental but with the Basie Orchestra playing this not a bad thing. The arrangements by Quincy Jones and Ralph Burns are naturally superb making full use of the Basie Orchestra's majestic pallete.

Ray Charles plays Organ on the majority of the tracks. The three bonus tracks from 'Genius Hits the Road' are equally good and its an album I never tire of listening to.
