Search: I Heard It Through The Grapevine
by: Marisa Monte

Release Date February 09, 1999
I remember many years ago reading in Veja (Brazilian "Time" or "Newsweek") an "old guard" (baby boomer - generation) music critic trashing Marisa Monte as an upstart bubble gum pop star who didn't have a fraction of the talent of the old divas like Elis Regina. (on a different continent, it is the same battle Mariza has been fighting against the old guard Fado critics with respect to the likes of Amalia Rodrigues).

Fortunately, in time Marisa Monte has proven those cranks wrong.
Even on this early record you can hear Marisa's genius. This album may be uneven, but there are some brilliant pieces. In particular, Xote das Meninas is a suprising, soulful, inspired production. Marisa shows an extraordinary sense of improvisational ... Read More:

The Motown Box

Search: I Heard It Through The Grapevine
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 02, 2005
The purchase of "The Motown Box", was for one purpose; Purple Raindrops, by Stevie Wonder. This song, one of the ole time favorites, without a doubt has been one of the hardest songs to find. Thanks to everyone in finding, and dubbing this song. Also, the entire collection of oldies, as always, takes you down memory lane. Thanks again, CWhite -- Atlanta

Live, Raw & Funky

Search: I Heard It Through The Grapevine
by: Ike & Tina Turner

Release Date March 18, 2008
EVRYBODY KNOWS THAT JAMES BROWN WAS KNOWN AS THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS. TINA TURNER COULD GIVE HIM A GOOD RUN FOR HIS MONEY (EVEN THO' SHE'S A WOMAN- JUST ASK MICK JAGGER, HE STOLE HER ACT!). THIS IS A CD OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE IKE AND TINA TURNER REVUE SOMETIME IN THE 1970'S. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, ALTHOUGH THE CD HAS LINER NOTES, IT DOES NOT SAY WHERE OR WHEN THIS PERFORMANCE WAS RECORDED, JUST HAS A LOT OF GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT IKE AND TINA. THIS IS A GOOD PERFORMANCE, BUT THE RECORDING QUALITY IS NOT THE GREATEST, SO IT LOSES A STAR FOR THAT. BUT THE SONG SELECTIONS ARE GREAT AND IT IS A VERY GOOD CD NEVERTHELESS.
