Platinum Collection

Search: Youre All I Need To Get By
by: Aretha Franklin

Release Date August 06, 2007
...if you can forgive the omission of "I Say a Little Prayer" and especially "Respect." But even without these songs, this is still the best Aretha hits compilation on the market, because most of the other "Best Of" CDs were released in the early 1990s and the sound quality of these is not up to par.

But this sparkling CD, a brand new 2007 release, is hard to beat. Though it is an import, the "Rhino" label is printed on it so there is no doubt that this CD is top quality.

If you want Aretha's big hits from the late 1960s and early 1970s on an up-to-date, high-sound quality disc, buy this one!

Collection

Search: Youre All I Need To Get By
by: Deniece Williams

Release Date December 06, 2001
On it's own, this is an excellent collection of Deniece Williams work, as this young lady simply did not make bad records. Only minor problem is that aside from the lovely and underrated "Waiting On the Hotline," most of these songs are easily available elsewhere. But if you don't have her other compilations, this is an excellent place ot start.

Ultimate Soul Collection

Search: Youre All I Need To Get By
by: Various Artists

Release Date January 01, 1995
I think this CD collection is a gross misrepresentation of the songs contained within. Nowhere is it made clearly obvious that the majority of the songs are RE-recordings. Only once I began playing the CDs did I realize something wasn't right, and upon looking at the list of tracks on the CD, I noticed a tiny footnote indicating that certain tracks (at least one third) are RE-recordings or LIVE recordings. When one buys a CD of "popular music", one expects to hear the same songs they were accustomed to hearing over the radio. To me, the few original tracks in this collection don't make it worth purchasing an entire 8-CD collection, so I ended up returning it for a refund. As a footnote, this could explain why the collection is ... Read More:

Shaolin Soul Vol.1

Search: Youre All I Need To Get By
by: Various

Release Date December 04, 2001
I dont know if wu authorised this cd,[...]. I think this a very respectable collection of soul songs. Tracks like "motherless child" and "you outa be with me" are very deep and heavy. You would never here stuff like this come out today.
