1	The Ultimate Collection (1995) more music like this by The Jackson 5 add to wishlist 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 $2.91! new only from $12.26!
2	Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 (2003) more music like this by Sam Cooke add to wishlist Some 46 years after his first pop hit, and 39 years after his death, comes only the second attempt at a comprehensive Sam Cooke collection. Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 eclipses RCA's early-'80s The Man and His Music, going it better in running time but losing some important recordings -- "That's Heaven to Me" and "Soothe Me," arguably one of ... see all copies from $15.34! new only from $15.34!
3	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Jackson 5 (1999) more music like this by Jackson 5 add to wishlist The Jackson 5 installment of MCA's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection is a terrific, concise collection of the group's 11 biggest hits. There may be some smaller hits missing, but all the big tunes -- "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," "I'll Be There," "Never Can Say Goodbye," "Dancing Machine" -- are here, along with two ... see all copies from $2.36! new only from $4.89!
4	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Michael Jackson (2000) more music like this by Michael Jackson add to wishlist Michael Jackson's edition of 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection concentrates entirely on his solo recordings from the early '70s, including such blockbusters as "Got to Be There," "Rockin' Robin," and "Ben." This doesn't contain every single one of his early solo hits, but it does contain the great majority of them, which means it ... see all copies from $4.72! new only from $4.72!
5	Got to Be There (1972) more music like this by Michael Jackson add to wishlist Riding high on the wild success of the Jackson 5, Motown ringleader Berry Gordy assembled every single notable production team member and songwriter in his arsenal to contribute to the solo debut of the J5's boy wonder, Michael. By the time Got to Be There was released, much had changed in the Jackson dynamic, none the least Michael's voice. But ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $9.62!
6	The Commitments (1991) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Alan Parker's adaptation of Roddy Doyle's crackerjack novel The Commitments kept its focus on the music -- the classic American R&B and soul the titular workingman band cranked out in pubs across Ireland. As a book and film, The Commitments was all about love of music, so it didn't matter if the soundtrack offered workmanlike versions of oldies ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.93!
7	Definitive Collection (2002) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist When you're putting together a 21-song collection of a major artist who's had more than 40 Top 40 hits, inevitably there's going to be a lot of good stuff left out. Stevie Wonder's long and varied career (not over when this anthology appeared) really needs more than one disc to even adequately summarize the highlights. But this single-disc comp ... see all copies from $6.09! new only from $10.39!
8	Genius Loves Company (2004) more music like this by Ray Charles add to wishlist Genius Loves Company is the last studio album Ray Charles completed before his death in June 2004. Prior to this, the last studio album he released was Strong Love Affair in 1996, which was a stab at modern pop, filled with new songs and given an adult contemporary sheen. It was not one of his most distinctive efforts, even when judged against his ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.41!
9	The Ultimate Collection (1997) more music like this by The Temptations add to wishlist With the exception of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, one would be hard pressed to name a Motown act who went through as many creative shifts as the Temptations. While Wonder's and Gaye's changes of direction were a product of their own creative rebellion against Berry Gordy's brilliant but often formulaic vision, the Temptations seemed to be the ... see all copies from $6.40! new only from $10.39!
10	Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye (1983) more music like this by Marvin Gaye add to wishlist The title is a bit of a misnomer, as you could count up on the fingers of both hands all the early hits that aren't on this 15-track collection. But if it's latter-day Marvin you're looking for -- from "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" through tracks like "Let's Get It On" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" -- this set will fill the bill ... see all copies from $7.52! new only from $9.22!
11	Ultimate Collection (2004) more music like this by The Dells add to wishlist With a Motown flair, sweet Chicago harmonies, and sparse string arrangements that prefigured the Philly sound, the Dells reached the pop charts in every decade from the 1950s through the 1990s, a feat only equaled by the great James Brown. Originally a doo wop group, the Dells had hits in the 1950s with "Oh What a Night" and "Stay in My Corner," ... see all copies from $11.53! new only from $11.53!
12	Dead Presidents (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to the Hughes Brothers' tribute to early-'70s blaxploitation gets the sound of the era right, featuring hits by the O'Jays, the Spinners, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, among others. The inclusion of Danny Elfman's instrumental theme interrupts the flow of the album, but for the most part, Dead Presidents ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.44!
13	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Sam Cooke add to wishlist Although it isn't as sublime as the definitive The Man and His Music, Greatest Hits still does a good job of rounding up the majority of Sam Cooke's biggest pop hits. Ironically, it doesn't have enough gospel or R&B cuts, skipping over such essentials as "Touch the Hem of His Garment," "Ain't That Good News," and "A Change Is Gonna Come" in favor ... see all copies from $6.18! new only from $8.08!
14	Capitol Gold: The Best of Minnie Riperton (1993) more music like this by Minnie Riperton add to wishlist 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 $6.20! new only from $7.94!
15	The Five Heartbeats (1991) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack of the 1991 Fox/Robert Townsend film about the travails of a fictional '60s soul music vocal group includes the hit ballad "A House Is Not a Home" performed by The Dells, whom Townsend consulted with on the film. Lead singer Marvin Junior, one of the most underrated voices in pop music, poignantly delivers the melancholy lyrics. ... see all copies from $2.21! new only from $7.96!
16	Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection (1996) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist While it's not quite the definitive compilation it could have been, the double-disc Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection is still a good overview of Stevie Wonder's long, prolific career. Skipping over "Fingertips, Pt. 2" and picking up with "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" and "I Was Made to Love Her," Song Review runs through the next three ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $20.34!
17	The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985) more music like this by Sting add to wishlist The Police never really broke up, they just topped working together -- largely because they just couldn't stand playing together anymore and partially because Sting was itching to establish himself as a serious musician/songwriter on his own terms. Anxious to shed the mantle of pop star, he camped out at Eddy Grant's studio, picked up the guitar, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.77!
18	The #1's [2003] (2003) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes add to wishlist Surprisingly, very few artists can float a digital-age collection of number one singles without resorting to trickery involving foreign countries or obscure charts. The Beatles had little trouble (The Beatles 1) and Elvis Presley managed both a disc of number ones (Elvis: 30 #1 Hits) and one of number twos (2nd to None), but Michael Jackson bent ... see all copies from $10.39! new only from $10.39!
19	The Best of the Girl Groups, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Rhino's Best of the Girl Groups, Vol. 1 collects 18 of the greatest girl group singles, including the Ad Libs' "The Boy From New York City," Betty Everett's "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)," the Exciters' "He's Got the Power," and Claudine Clark's "Party Lights." The Shangri-Las have no less than three of their singles -- "Leader of the ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $8.71!
20	Original Musiquarium I (1982) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist Released in 1982, the double-album Original Musiquarium I summarizes Stevie Wonder's classic period of the '70s, concentrating primarily on the hits, but adding a few album tracks to hint at the depth of his albums, as well as four new songs (one for each side, all pleasant, none particularly remarkable). Though there could be some dispute about ... see all copies from $2.69! new only from $20.28!
21	What's Going On [Bonus Tracks] (1971) more music like this by Marvin Gaye add to wishlist What's Going On is not only Marvin Gaye's masterpiece, it's the most important and passionate record to come out of soul music, delivered by one of its finest voices, a man finally free to speak his mind and so move from R&B sex symbol to true recording artist. With What's Going On, Gaye meditated on what had happened to the American dream of the ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $6.89!
22	16 Most Requested Songs (1989) more music like this by Johnny Mathis add to wishlist 16 Most Requested Songs, a midline-priced collection, spotlights some of Johnny Mathis' best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records. Although other sets may have a few more tracks, this is a very entertaining sampler, featuring such songs as "Chances Are," "It's Not for Me to Say," "Wonderful! Wonderful!," "When Sunny Gets Blue," ... see all copies from $2.22! new only from $6.83!
23	Now & Then [Original Soundtrack] (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack for the coming-of-age flick Now & Then could easily be mistaken for one of those ubiquitous K-Tel collections so popular in the '70s (and that's not necessarily a bad thing at all). Aside from ex-Bangle Susanna Hoffs' breezy title track which closes the set (and hardly sounds out of place), it gathers 11 songs that perfectly capture ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.86!
24	Love Songs (2002) more music like this by Michael Jackson add to wishlist Released in January of 2002, Motown's Love Songs contains 14 love songs and ballads Michael Jackson recorded, either by himself or with the Jackson 5, during his time on Motown in the early '70s. There are a few familiar songs here, such as "Who's Lovin' You," but the Love Songs series prides itself on mood, not hits, while providing just one or ... see all copies from $6.81! new only from $6.81!
25	The Best of Tony Joe White (1993) more music like this by Tony Joe White add to wishlist Twenty tracks from 1969-1973, the period of Tony Joe White's greatest success, including "Polk Salad Annie" and White's own version of his composition "Rainy Night in Georgia." Most of this is quality swamp rock with pop-soul-conscious production; on cuts like "High Sheriff of Calhoun Parrish," it sounds very much like he was trying to achieve a ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $4.50!
