1	Greatest Hits [Evergreen] (1991) more music like this by Jerry Butler Evergreen's Greatest Hits is an 11-track budget-priced collection that features some of Jerry Butler's biggest hits, including "For Your Precious Love," "He Will Break Your Heart," "What's the Use of Breaking Up" and "The Devil in Mrs. Jones." Although this isn't a bad budget-priced disc, there are better collections available, offering more songs ... see all copies from $2.33! new only from $8.31!
2	The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield [Rhino] (1996) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Rhino's The Very Best of Curtis Mayfield is devoted to material the legendary soul man recorded after leaving the Impressions, focusing particularly on his classic songs from the early '70s. There are more comprehensive compilations on the market, namely the sublime double-disc Anthology and the flawed but worthwhile box set People Get Ready, but ... see all copies from $4.12! new only from $7.85!
3	The Anthology 1961-1977 (1992) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield/The Impressions MCA's double-disc The Anthology 1961-1977 is the definitive overview of Curtis Mayfield's career, as the only compilation to draw from both his solo work and the best of his output with the Impressions. In fact, even discounting the four Curtom tracks that spill over onto disc two, the first disc's 26 selections constitute far and away the most ... see all copies from $18.90! new only from $28.60!
4	Oh What a Night! The Great Ballads (1998) more music like this by The Dells Oh, What a Night! The Great Ballads is a wonderful collection of 15 ballads the Dells recorded for Chess Records between 1967 and 1974. Among the songs included are the hits "Stay in My Corner," "Oh, What a Night!," "Always Together," "The Love We Had (Stays on My Mind)" and "Open Up My Heart," which is available for the first time on CD in its ... see all copies from $4.40! new only from $4.40!
5	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Curtis Mayfield (2000) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield & the Impressions The Millennium Collection: The Best of Curtis Mayfield & the Impressions collects some of the best songs Mayfield recorded with the Impressions and on his own, including "Gypsy Woman," "People Get Ready," "Freddie's Dead," "Superfly," "Woman's Got Soul," and "Choice of Colors." Though a thorough look at Mayfield's talents and innovations is beyond ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!
6	Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (1972) more music like this by Roberta Flack A duet classic, and perhaps the most popular album Roberta Flack made. Their single "Where Is the Love" dominated urban contemporary radio for almost the entire year, while "You've Got a Friend" was just as influential and was later covered by numerous artists (of course they didn't write it, but a lot of folks thought they did). It did so well ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $11.39!
7	Curtis (1970) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield The first solo album by the former leader of the Impressions, Curtis represented a musical apotheosis for Curtis Mayfield -- indeed, it was practically the "Sgt. Pepper's" album of '70s soul, helping with its content and its success to open the whole genre to much bigger, richer musical canvases than artists had previously worked with. All of ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.50!
8	Starting All Over Again (1972) more music like this by Mel & Tim Mel & Tim were a classic Chicago soul vocal duo, recording in Muscle Shoals in the deep South for Stax and making records that fit comfortably next to those made in Philadelphia. It may sound incongruous, but their 1972 album, Starting All Over Again -- released on CD with four bonus tracks -- is a wonderful record that blends the sweet production ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Capitol Gold: The Best of Minnie Riperton (1993) more music like this by Minnie Riperton Until 1999's Free Soul (Capitol) and 2001's exhaustive but more excellent overall Petals (The Right Stuff) came along, Capitol Gold offered the best summation of this true original's horribly undervalued solo career. As with Free Soul, Capitol Gold leaves a significant gap by excluding the best moments from Minnie Riperton's debut (Come to My ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $10.79!
10	Occasional Rain (1972) more music like this by Terry Callier Occasional Rain, originally released in 1972, is the first of three albums, Chicago singer/songwriter Terry Callier cut for Cadet in the 1970s with producer Charles Stepney. Eight years earlier Callier, then a soulful blues and folk singer, cut an album of covers (as was par for the course in 1964 at the end of the folk revival, Bob Dylan was just ... see all copies from $5.19! new only from $10.10!
11	Live (1972) more music like this by Donny Hathaway Donny Hathaway's 1972 Live album is one of the most glorious of his career, an uncomplicated, energetic set with a heavy focus on audience response as well as the potent jazz chops of his group. The results of shows recorded at the Troubadour in Hollywood and the Bitter End in New York, the record begins with Hathaway's version of the instant soul ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
12 view cover	Extension of a Man (1973) more music like this by Donny Hathaway Ranging from inner-city soul to orchestral grandeur to a bluesy ballad to easy-listening pleasantries, Extension of a Man was Donny Hathaway's most ambitious LP, the justly titled capstone to his phenomenal career. Coming, however, from one of soul music's most widely talented figures, this wasn't exactly a surprise; both of his previous studio ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
13 view cover	(For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People (1971) more music like this by The Chi-Lites Though they boasted one of the sweetest voices in soul music with Eugene Record, the Chi-Lites broke away from that format -- thankfully, only slightly -- for 1971's (For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People. Influenced by the growing social consciousness of soul music during the early '70s (especially Sly & the Family Stone and the solo ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.05!
14 view cover	The Very Best of Jackie Wilson [Ace] (1993) more music like this by Jackie Wilson Similar to the U.S. greatest-hits collection of the same name (on Rhino), but with substantially more tracks. This 24-song anthology has all the familiar big singles on the Rhino compilation, but goes into his late-'60s-early-'70s material in greater depth. His best stuff was recorded before that, though, so you're not much (if at all) worse off ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $14.11!
15 view cover	Donny Hathaway (1971) more music like this by Donny Hathaway With just one exception, Donny Hathaway's second full-length is a covers album, featuring one of the most pop-averse artists in soul music surprisingly offering interpretations of contemporary hit material like "A Song for You," "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," "Magnificent Sanctuary Band," and (most effectively) "Put Your Hand in the Hand," a ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
16 view cover	Gospel [Rhino] (1999) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield This enjoyable (yet somewhat questionable) compilation gathers together many of the religious songs that Curtis Mayfield penned and performed, both with the Impressions in the '60s and as a solo artist in the '70s. As a songwriter, Mayfield was astounding. In addition to the well-known lyrics of "Amen" and "People Get Ready," there are several ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $9.20!
17 view cover	The Best of Tyrone Davis [2002] (2002) more music like this by Tyrone Davis The blessing and the curse of Rhino's 2002 collection The Best of Tyrone Davis is its very completeness. It spans from his very first single for the tiny Sack records, "I Tried It Over (And Over Again)," in 1967 to his '90s recordings for Ichiban. This does mean that it's a comprehensive retrospective, tracing the story of his career, but that is ... see all copies from $8.09! new only from $10.76!
18 view cover	Corrina Corrina [Original Soundtrack] (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
19 view cover	Hey Girl, Don't Bother Me (1964) more music like this by The Tams see all copies from $5.19! new only from $14.82!
20 view cover	Everything Is Everything (1970) more music like this by Donny Hathaway Already a respected arranger and pianist who'd contributed to dozens of records (by artists ranging from the Impressions to Carla Thomas to Woody Herman), with this debut LP Donny Hathaway revealed yet another facet of his genius -- his smoky, pleading voice, one of the best to ever grace a soul record. Everything Is Everything sounded like ... see all copies from $10.20! new only from $10.20!
21 view cover	Roots (1971) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Curtis Mayfield's visionary album, a landmark creation every bit as compelling and as far-reaching in its musical and extra-musical goals as Marvin Gaye's contemporary What's Goin' On. Opening on the hit "Get Down," the album soars on some of the sweetest and most eloquent -- yet driving -- soul sounds heard up to that time. Mayfield's growing ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
22 view cover	Curtis/Live! (1971) more music like this by Curtis Mayfield Curtis/Live! is, simply, one of the greatest concert albums ever cut on a soul artist, and one of the legendary live albums of all time. Cut in January of 1971 during four nights at The Bitter End (then Greenwich Village's leading music venue) in New York, the resulting double LP transcended any expectations in both its programming and execution - ... see all copies from $6.13! new only from $6.13!
23 view cover	The Incredible Soul Collection (2003) more music like this by Various Artists It's possible that there's a pop record collection of 50 to 100 CDs or more that doesn't have at least half the songs on Rhino's double-disc 32-track compilation The Incredible Soul Collection, but it's unlikely. These are not only the songs that everybody knows, they're the songs everybody buys again and again, recycled on any number of soul ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $17.56!
24 view cover	These Songs for You, Live! (2004) more music like this by Donny Hathaway Few musicians gave more to their audience than Donny Hathaway. Capable of leading the section or letting the crowd take him away, a man whose sensuality oozed out of him on-stage but who also aired his struggles with despair and social unrest, Hathaway really had no comparison in soul music, or even pop music in total. (His closest kin, Sam Cooke, ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $10.76!
25 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Billy Stewart (2000) more music like this by Billy Stewart The omission of Stewart's heartfelt "How Nice It Is," one of his seven best singles, is the only sore spot. Compilers always overlook the tension-filled ballad on these short collections (11 songs). Stewart's six other gems -- "Strange Feeling," "I Do Love You," "Sitting in the Park," "Cross My Heart," "Summertime," and "Secret Love" -- sparkle ... see all copies from $5.15! new only from $5.15!
