1	The Very Best of Otis Redding, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by Otis Redding The Very Best of Otis Redding wasn't the first Otis Redding compilation but it is the best of the single-disc collections, distilling the high points across his career (up thru the posthumous hits "(Sitting' On) The Dock of the Bay" and the heartbreaking "I've Got Dreams to Remember") in 16 tracks, every one a musical milestone and a soul music ... see all copies from $7.60! new only from $8.70!
2	Lady Soul (1968) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Appearing after a blockbuster debut and a sophomore set that was rather disappointing (in comparison), 1968's Lady Soul proved Aretha Franklin, the pop sensation, was no fluke. Her performances were more impassioned than on her debut, and the material just as strong, an inspired blend of covers and originals from the best songwriters in soul and ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $8.85!
3	I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (1967) more music like this by Aretha Franklin While the inclusion of "Respect" -- one of the truly seminal singles in pop history -- is in and of itself sufficient to earn I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You classic status, Aretha Franklin's Atlantic label debut is an indisputable masterpiece from start to finish. Much of the credit is due to producer Jerry Wexler, who finally unleashed ... see all copies from $3.91! new only from $7.03!
4	Live at Fillmore West (2006) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Rhino Handmade issued the Aretha Franklin/King Curtis Live at Fillmore West box collection in 2005 as a limited edition via their Internet-only site. This double disc collects the original Franklin album, presents it in gloriously remastered sound, and adds a bonus disc of alternate takes and unused songs from the four-night stand. The original LP ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $9.50!
5	Aretha's Best (2001) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Rhino's Aretha's Best is notable for attempting to squeeze highlights of every era of Aretha's career onto one disc. Unfortunately, the compilers threw logic and chronology out the window, preferring to vacillate between classic Atlantic recordings and very good latter-day Arista recordings. There are certainly some great performances missing, but ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.52!
6	In the Christmas Spirit (1966) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's Booker T. and the MG's find the groove to come up with funky instrumentals of Yule classics "Jingle Bells," "Silver Bells," and the percolatin' "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Steve Cropper makes his guitar sing on the down 'n' bluesy "Merry Christmas Baby." Dennis MacDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.42! new only from $9.20!
7	The Very Best of Isaac Hayes (2007) more music like this by Isaac Hayes This is not a bad start, at least as far as single-disc representations of Isaac Hayes' Stax years are considered. The Very Best of Isaac Hayes contains many of the necessities -- his reinventions of "Walk on By," "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," and "Never Can Say Goodbye," alongside originals like "Theme from Shaft," "Do Your Thing," and "Joy, Pt ... see all copies from $7.56! new only from $10.00!
8	Amazing Grace (1972) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Aretha Franklin disproved the notion that once you leave the church, you can't go back. She returned in triumph on this 1972 double album, making what might be her greatest release ever in any style. Her voice was chilling, making it seem as if God and the angels were conducting a service alongside Franklin, Rev. James Cleveland, the Southern ... see all copies from $16.08! new only from $21.44!
9	Aretha Now (1968) more music like this by Aretha Franklin Though a bit short on running time at ten songs, this still caught Aretha Franklin at the peak of her early form. "Think," "I Say a Little Prayer," "See Saw," and "I Can't See Myself Leaving You" were all big hits. Her choice of cover material included some of her most R&B-drenched early Atlantic cuts, like "Night Time Is the Right Time," "You ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $12.89!
10	The Definitive Collection (2006) more music like this by Etta James Whoa. There are many Etta James collections out there. The standard-bearers thus far have been the Chess Box and the Essential Etta James. This set attempts to do something else and goes deep into her catalog to dig out the gems from her years with Modern, Argo, Cadet, Chess, Warner Brothers, Island, and Private Music/BMG, and presents the full ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $13.34!
11 view cover	Stax 50th Anniversary Celebration (2007) more music like this by Various Artists While it's true that this double-disc, 50-track mid-centennial anniversary celebration of the birth of Stax Records -- a label synonymous with Southern soul -- will not rival the three box sets issuing the company's complete singles, it's a killer document. Concord Records purchased the Stax catalog (which occurred when the company purchased ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
12 view cover	Wilson Pickett's Greatest Hits [1985] (1985) more music like this by Wilson Pickett Wilson Pickett was one of the most consistently strong performers of the great soul era of the 1960's, but like most R&B artists of the period he was strongest in his singles, not his albums, and while he cut some fine long-players in his day, a quality compilation is still the best place to get started with The Wicked Pickett's raw but passionate ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $12.91!
13 view cover	Bettye Swann (2004) more music like this by Bettye Swann If Bettye Swann is remembered by anyone other than soul obsessives, it is for her chart-topping hit "Make Me Yours" from 1967. Hopefully, this collection will open a few ears to the low-key, genre-bending singer who blended the full-bodied gritty sound of Southern soul and the smooth sheen of soul from the urban North. It covers the years 1968 to ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $14.38!
14 view cover	Soul Christmas (1968) more music like this by Various Artists This 1991 reissue includes eight of the original 11 tracks included on the Atco 1968 release (a rare album still worth seeking), with 11 more tracks added from the Atlantic vaults. Few, if any, Christmas compilations are more essential than this. Otis Redding's performances of "White Christmas" and "Merry Christmas, Baby" are alone worth the price ... see all copies from $8.61! new only from $9.89!
15 view cover	The Very Best of Booker T. and the MG's [Stax] (2007) more music like this by Booker T. & The MG's It's impossible to imagine Southern soul existing at all without the powerful input of Booker T. & the MG's, one of the grittiest and most precise rhythm sections in the history of pop music. The MGs were the house band for Stax Records and its imprints Volt and Chalice, and played on virtually everything the label released, backing Otis Redding, ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
16 view cover	30 Greatest Hits (1985) more music like this by Aretha Franklin 30 Greatest Hits zeroes in on Aretha Franklin's prime recording period for Atlantic, from her breakout in 1967 with "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" through the end of 1974, during which the Queen of Soul truly reigned over the charts -- she averaged over one pop hit every two months. This two-disc set delivers all of her classics ( ... see all copies from $3.56! new only from $17.56!
17 view cover	I'm Still in Love With You [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Al Green I'm Still in Love With You shares many surface similarities with its predecessor, Let's Stay Together: from Al Green and Willie Mitchell's distinctive, sexy, style to the pacing and song selection. Despite those shared traits, I'm Still in Love With You distinguishes itself with its suave, romantic tone and its subtly ambitious choice of material. ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
18 view cover	Stax Story (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The legendary Memphis soul label Stax's legacy is well-represented by this four-CD box set, which manages to do what many similar box retrospectives don't. That is to provide a well-balanced overview of a genre of music that mixes the essential hits with many noteworthy yet lesser-known singles and rarities, coming about as close as possible to ... see all copies from $45.29! new only from $45.29!
19 view cover	Allen Toussaint [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Allen Toussaint As intimated by the cover art, this album is a close-up and personal portrait. Although the multi-talented hitmaker had become a living legend within the thriving musical community of his native Crescent City, Allen Toussaint more often than not deferred the spotlight to the vocalists for whom he wrote, produced, and arranged. Released in 1970, ... see all copies from $14.88! new only from $14.88!
20 view cover	Green Onions (1962) more music like this by Booker T. & The MG's There's not a note or a nuance out of place anywhere on this record, which was 35 of the most exciting minutes of instrumental music in any category that one could purchase in 1962 (and it's no slouch four decades out, either). "I Got a Woman" is the single best indicator of how superb this record is and this band was -- listening to this track, ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $7.99!
21 view cover	The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists At nine discs and 244 tracks, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 is far too exhaustive for casual fans, but that's not who the set is designed for -- it's made for the collector. Featuring every A-side the label released during those nine years, as well as several B-sides, the set is a definitive portrait of gritty, deep Southern soul. Many ... see all copies from $83.69! new only from $85.66!
22 view cover	The Best of Clarence Carter: The Dr.'s Greatest Prescriptions [Koch] (2001) more music like this by Clarence Carter Bawdy Clarence Carter at his braggadocios best. These 13 tracks include the edited single version of "Strokin'" and the unedited, long, and dirty (six minutes and 23 seconds) rendition. Other double entendres and nastys are "Grandpa Can't Fly His Kite," "I'm Not Just Good, I'm the Best," and "Dr. CC." The rest feature Carter displaying his ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $15.65!
23 view cover	The Dock of the Bay (1968) more music like this by Otis Redding It was never supposed to be like this: "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" was supposed to mark a beginning of a new phase in Otis Redding's career, not an ending. Producer/guitarist Steve Cropper had a difficult task to perform in pulling together this album, the first of several posthumous releases issued by Stax/Volt in the wake of Otis Redding ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $7.74!
24 view cover	Taylor Hicks (2006) more music like this by Taylor Hicks Out of all the millions of words that have been written about American Idol, one topic that's never fully addressed is how the show winds up finding and filling America's forgotten pop music needs. Genres that have been banished from the airwaves for one reason or another -- usually because they didn't fit within the strictly regimented confines ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
25 view cover	Otis Blue: Otis Redding Sings Soul (1966) more music like this by Otis Redding Otis Redding's third album, and his first fully realized album, presents his talent unfettered, his direction clear, and his confidence emboldened, with fully half the songs representing a reach that extended his musical grasp. More than a quarter of this album is given over to Redding's versions of songs by Sam Cooke, his idol, who had died the ... see all copies from $4.17! new only from $5.00!
