The Platters - All-Time Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: The Platters

Release Date April 13, 2004
I purchased this because my cassette had seen it's last days. Knowing that the sound quality would be much better, I decided to get it in CD format. I love the songs...brings back so much memories. Of course, the sound is so much better than a older generation cassette. No regrets.

Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story

CD-Charts > Music > R
starring: Various Artists

Release Date October 02, 2007
The story of Stax Records is a story of dizzying success and gut-wrenching heartbreak; of great good fortune and the vicissitudes of fate. In short, the label's history is much like the best soul music: It can make you dance with joy one moment, and sob achingly in a way Frank Sinatra's "Only The Lonely" ballads could only aspire to without actually attaining.

"Respect Yourself: The Story of Stax Records" documents the astonishing musicians who came together to create some of the greatest rhythm and blues/soul/gospel music of the 1960's and 1970's. And it is a story about how a small independent record label defied the Jim Crow segregation of Memphis -- and the result in the form of timeless music speaks for itself. As label ... Read More:

Futuresex / Loveshow - Live from Madison Square Garden [Blu-ray]

CD-Charts > Music > R
directed by: Marty Callner

Release Date April 01, 2008
I heard from my friend Kimberly how great this is and I'm not disappointed. Sometimes I'm really glad when I hear about something you might not normally find. I remembered when I first heard about the concert. I participated in a scavenger hunt and during the long hunt I was told by someone this was really very good and is definitely worth seeing and how just listening to the songs is the beginning step when someone is first learning about Justin and is small compared to the visual overall thing.

Standing in the Shadows of Motown: Deluxe Edition

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Various Artists

Release Date May 11, 2004
Being a music lover and an musician, this 2 disc set was too good to pass up. Growing up in the 60's & 70's, I always knew this music was more intricate underneath than it's beautiful heartfelt melodies would imply.

I played in many bands over the past 30+ years and I have been praised by many for my ability to improvise, but I'm glad in my younger days, I wasn't aware of what was going on underneath those Motown soulful vocals...if I had, I may have never touched my bass again! James Jamerson is the kind of bassist that makes even the best players feel humbled.

This 2 disc set is packed with the Funk Brothers classic tracks with famous singers stepping in, showing it's the band that's the star on these tracks ... Read More:

The Harder They Come

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Jimmy Cliff

Release Date June 26, 2001
I bought the record when it first came out almost 35 years ago. I had long since sold off the album. I ordered the CD recently and it arrived on my birthday. At my party, I played the album, and it was the most popular of the evening collectively by young and old alike. This is really a reggae classic.

Double Up

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: R. Kelly

Release Date May 29, 2007
He needs to give it up! R.Kelly's latest release DOUBLE UP, fails to bring that R&B feel to it. Yeah, it does bring more Rap than he usually does, and I can't lie..."I'm A Flirt," was a good song. But, as for the rest, it can all go some place else, so we don't have to hear it!

Genius Loves Company

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Ray Charles

Release Date August 31, 2004
Here written are many magnificent Kudos for this CD and I would just like to add a few comments from the casual listener who has always enjoyed Ray Charles from the living room armchair with much awe and many goose-bumps. As the final work of this great artist whose name is synonymous with greatness, I am hard pressed to find a single flaw in this collection. On many occasions I have popped this CD into the home or car player and just let it run its course as many as two or three times without changing it out. The recordings have a dynamic sound that fills your body and soul with music of the spheres, whether it's orchestra, choir, or bald-faced blues guitars and jazzed up Pie-Anna's. Every supple nuance and phrase of every note is captured rich and ... Read More:

The East Bay Archive Volume I

CD-Charts > Music > R
by: Tower of Power

Release Date August 26, 2008
It's like they taped it with a Walkman, or perhaps ripped it off an Internet web cast, although those didn't exist back then. The material and performance is powerhouse ToP, but its surprising the production values merited a 2-CD release.

100% the best cd I've ever had the pleasure of owning. Easily one album you have trouble not letting finish.I hope they decide to make this album into a series because it earned at least one sequel.
