1	Motown (2003) more music like this by Michael McDonald Michael McDonald never disguises what his seventh solo album is: the title Motown makes it clear that this 2003 effort is a tribute to the glory days of Berry Gordy's Detroit empire. McDonald never strays too far from that thesis, occasionally dipping into the late '70s for material (he takes on Marvin Gaye's "I Want You") and sometimes choosing ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.33!
2	Spinners (1972) more music like this by The Spinners A superb album, arguably their finest, though not their biggest, crossover work. The Spinners teamed with Thom Bell and made Motown look stupid with this album of glorious anthems. "I'll Be Around" and "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" ended any discussions, mentions, or even thoughts of their former lead singer G.C. Cameron, as Phillippe Wynne ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $9.20!
3	The Very Best of the Spinners [Rhino] (1993) more music like this by The Spinners The Spinners were rivaled only by the O'Jays as the greatest Philly soul group, and for that matter the greatest vocal group of the '70s. For listeners who don't want to dig as deeply as the excellent double-CD anthology One of a Kind Love Affair, Rhino's The Very Best of the Spinners is a stellar single-disc career summary that offers a ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
4	The Ultimate Collection (1995) more music like this by The Jackson 5 The first single-disc Jackson 5 collection to take full advantage of the compact-disc medium, The Ultimate Collection is certainly the ultimate for any but the most hardcore fans. Ranging from 1969's "I Want You Back" to 1975's "I Am Love, Pts. 1-2," these 21 tracks include each of the group's hits, among them "ABC," "The Love You Save," "I'll Be ... see all copies from $11.64! new only from $11.64!
5	The Best of the Stylistics [Amherst] (1975) more music like this by The Stylistics Any of their collections are good, but this one features their biggest and best hits, including "I'm Stone in Love with You," "Rockin' Roll Baby, " "Betcha by Golly Wow," and "You Make Me Feel Brand New." Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.70! new only from $13.70!
6	Cowboys to Girls: The Best of the Intruders (1995) more music like this by The Intruders The prototype for Gamble & Huff's classic Philly soul groups of the early '70s, the Intruders didn't spend much time in the pop Top 40 -- especially compared to heavy-hitters like the O'Jays or Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes -- but their smooth performances and Gamble & Huff's strong arrangements usually triumphed over the occasional novelty ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
7	La-La Means I Love You: The Definitive Collection (1997) more music like this by The Delfonics A lush collection of classy Delfonics tracks. The trio had a more soulful sound than the Stylistics whom Thom Bell (who produced the lion's share of these tracks) later produced. Initially flooring the world with "La, La Means I Love You," the Harts, William & Wilbert, Randy Cain, and later Major Harris churned out delightful ear candies for years ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
8	Smooth Grooves: A Sensual Collection, Vol. 7 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The Smooth Grooves series is an exceptional collection of neglected soul and urban R&B singles. Concentrating on the early '80s and late '70s, the selections of the series are lush and seductive, drawing from Philly soul and disco in equal measures. Smooth Grooves, Vol. 7 features selections by Ready for the World, Betty Wright, Force MD's, A ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
9	Mighty Love (1974) more music like this by The Spinners Riding high off of a Grammy nod as Producer of the Year for his work on the Spinners 1973 eponymous album, Philly soul mastermind Thom Bell infused their next collection Mighty Love (1974) with the similar mix of lushly scored slow jams and stylish mid-tempo R&B entries. Although the group had been around since the mid-'50s, by the time the ... see all copies from $3.25! new only from $5.00!
10	So Full of Love (1978) more music like this by The O'Jays This was the biggest hit album The O'Jays ever enjoyed, even though it wasn't as aesthetically transcendent as Ship Ahoy. But it came at the right time; there weren't many great group albums being produced in R&B at the time, and that's what this really was, even if Eddie Levert took most of the leads. "Use Ta Be My Girl" was a triumphant success, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.79!
11 view cover	Pick of the Litter (1975) more music like this by The Spinners For their fourth Atlantic Records outing, the Spinners -- Henry Fambrough (baritone vocal), Billy Henderson (tenor vocal), Pervis Jackson (bass vocal), Bobbie Smith (tenor vocal) and Philippe Wynne (tenor vocal) -- cook up another sizable serving of Philly Soul under the care of producer/arranger Thom Bell. Following on the heels of three ... see all copies from $6.71! new only from $9.20!
12 view cover	Family Reunion (1975) more music like this by The O'Jays In the 1970s, Philadelphia International Records could seemingly do no wrong where the O'Jays were concerned. The Cleveland trio recorded one gem after another under Gamble & Huff's direction, and Family Reunion was no exception. Nothing on this CD has the angry bite of "Back Stabbers," "Don't Call Me Brother" or "Rich Get Richer," and the mood is ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.47!
13 view cover	Super Hits [2002] (2002) more music like this by The Intruders This Intruders compilation is a sweet ten pack of hit singles with album cut/B-side "Save the Children" -- a rambling Gil Scott-Heron composition -- the sole exception. Long versions of "I'll Always Love My Mama" and "I Wanna Know Your Name," plus the chirpers "Cowboys to Girls," "Together," "A Love That's Real," and "Love Is Like a Baseball Game" ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $2.99!
14 view cover	Back Stabbers (1972) more music like this by The O'Jays A major turning point for the O'Jays, Back Stabbers took the group to the top of the charts and made them household names in the R&B world. The O'Jays had been paying serious dues since the late '50s, and their perseverance payed off in a major way when the unsettling title song, the infectious "Time to Get Down," and the uplifting "Love Train" ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $6.29!
15 view cover	Me and Mrs. Jones: The Best of Billy Paul (1999) more music like this by Billy Paul Too easily dismissed as little more than a one-hit wonder, Billy Paul was, in fact, one of the most gifted and affecting talents to grace the Philadelphia International stable -- the recipient of some of the Gamble & Huff team's most lush and sophisticated productions. His deeply soulful voice bridged the gap between jazz and soul, textured in ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.06!
16 view cover	Collectors' Items (1977) more music like this by The O'Jays Collectors' Items is an O'Jays compilation with a narrow range (basically 1972-76), a contradictory title, and odd sequencing, but a parade of huge hits that make up for any of its other faults. Using two LPs (or one CD, in its digital incarnation) to collect songs from only six albums, the set has plenty of room to anthologize all of the smooth ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $11.06!
17 view cover	Could It Be I'm Falling in Love & Other Hits (1997) more music like this by The Spinners Could It Be I'm Falling in Love & Other Hits is a brief CD -- only nine songs. The Spinners had space, but left out Part Two of "Love Don't Love Nobody." These tight Thom Bell productions, featuring lead vocals from Bobby Smith, Philippe Wynne, and John Edwards, will play their way into your heart. "You're Throwing a Good Love Away," and "They ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	One of a Kind Love Affair (1991) more music like this by The Spinners Spanning from their first single, 1961's "That's What Girls Are Made For," to their last charting single more than 20 years later, One of a Kind Love Affair -- The Anthology is the definitive Spinners collection. The bulk of the two-CD compilation is the group's work with Thom Bell during the mid-'70s, easily the best work they ever recorded and ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $28.75!
19 view cover	The Very Best of Wilson Pickett [Rhino] (1993) more music like this by Wilson Pickett Rhino's 1993 collection The Very Best of Wilson Pickett remains the best single-disc anthology of the fiery soul singer's work, choosing 16 of his best tracks for Atlantic and presenting them in excellent remastered sound quality. Pickett never departed all that much from the rough, swaggering vocals that first made his name, but he was utterly ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $5.65!
20 view cover	Carlito's Way [Original Soundtrack] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The soundtrack to Brian DePalma's crime drama Carlito's Way is appropriately claustrophobic and menacing, featuring a selection of incidental music and pop songs from the early '70s. It doesn't really work as an individual entity, but the album has a lot of interesting, provocative music. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.11!
21 view cover	Live (1981) more music like this by The Jacksons It's easy to forget, in the wake of a decade of bizarre behavior, rumors, and innuendo surrounding Michael Jackson that the Jacksons were once known solely for being a major music franchise. This live album, which was pretty obscure in its original double-LP vinyl version, is a reminder of how great an act they were, and captures what was just ... see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	Rock the Boat: Golden Classics (1993) more music like this by Hues Corporation Rock the Boat: Golden Classics may not have many songs as great as "Rock the Boat" (although it's nice to hear Allen Toussaint's "Freedom for the Stallion") but it summarizes the Hues Corporation's recordings well. It's frothy pop-soul and disco, with pleasing grooves -- sometimes the grooves get a little repetitive, but nothing is outright bad ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $13.84!
23 view cover	Disco Box (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's four-CD Disco Box is the most impressive disco retrospective yet assembled, featuring 80 tracks and exhaustive liner notes which chronicle the music's history, artists, innovations, and subsequent influence. Like many of the best Rhino anthologies of this sort, The Disco Box is a mixture of acknowledged classics and neglected yet ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $53.15!
24 view cover	Round 2 (1972) more music like this by The Stylistics This was the Stylistics' sophomore album and it spawned three Billboard R&B Top Ten singles: "I'm Stone in Love With You," "Break Up to Make Up," and "You'll Never Get to Heaven (If You Break My Heart)." The first two even cracked the Top Ten on the pop charts. Furthermore, there is much here to savor. The vocal quintet's version of the Carole ... see all copies from $8.97! new only from $12.30!
25 view cover	The Best of Blue Magic: Soulful Spell (1996) more music like this by Blue Magic Released in 1996, The Best of Blue Magic: Soulful Spell typified the pros and cons of compiling a set from one of '70s R&B's best acts. It should be easy. During its 1972-1989 run, Blue Magic always had a fierce and devoted fan base and at least 30 essential songs to choose from. The thing that weighs this set down is the omission of quite a few ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $9.20!
