1	Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 (2003) more music like this by Sam Cooke 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 $13.12! new only from $16.81!
2	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!
3	I Want You (1976) more music like this by Marvin Gaye I Want You, while it was a Top Ten smash for Marvin Gaye in 1976, is not as generally well-known as its predecessors for a number of reasons. First, it marked a sharp change in direction, leaving his trademark Motown soul for lush, funky, light disco. Secondly, its subject matter is as close to explicit as pop records got in 1976. Third, Gaye hadn ... see all copies from $2.05! new only from $7.79!
4	The Man and His Music (1986) more music like this by Sam Cooke When this 28-song compilation (two LPs/one CD) originally appeared, it was the first serious exploration of Sam Cooke's catalog ever done. What's more, a lot of care went into the selection, if not the packaging -- despite the fact that it has no annotation, or even release dates on its 28 songs, The Man and His Music is still the only ... see all copies from $8.00!
5	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!
6	What's Wrong with This Picture? (2003) more music like this by Van Morrison While 2002's Down the Road was the best Van Morrison release in ages -- with its autobiographical allusions, cultural critiques, and new band -- it could not have prepared listeners for the jolt of this, his Blue Note Records debut What's Wrong With This Picture? While the album is hardly a straight jazz record, it does take the territory he ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $13.00!
7	The #1's (2003) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes 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 $7.13! new only from $11.14!
8	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Sam Cooke 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 $8.00! new only from $8.99!
9	Joined Together: The Complete Studio Duets (2004) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes/The Temptations The two albums the Supremes and the Temptations did together in the late '60s might have been fun to do, and sometimes fun to hear, but certainly weren't highlights in the career of either group. If you're going to hear them at all, however, you should do so in the context of this two-CD set, which leaves no stone unturned in its presentation of ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $16.72!
10	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!
11 view cover	Touch Me in the Morning (1973) more music like this by Diana Ross Diana Ross was a superstar even when part of the Supremes, and as a solo singer much was expected from her from the Tamla/Motown empire. Although she had enjoyed a hit single in 1971 with "I'm Still Waiting" and a few other Top Ten singles during the 1970s, it wasn't until the album Touch Me in the Morning that she showed her full potential as a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.77!
12 view cover	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!
13 view cover	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!
14 view cover	Collection (2005) more music like this by Dee Dee Warwick see all copies from $14.82! new only from $14.82!
15 view cover	Motown 1's (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Owner of one of the deepest catalogs in music history, Motown/Universal allows very few recordings to escape the clutches of its archive. Once they're available, however, they're repackaged in endless permutations; such it was when Motown was ten years old, and such it was as the company approached its 45th anniversary. Motown 1s, a collection of ... see all copies* from $2.98! new only from $11.31!
16 view cover	Nutty Professor (1996) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Eddie Murphy's remake of the classic Jerry Lewis film The Nutty Professor is a veritable encyclopedia of mid-'90s urban soul and hip-hop, featuring first-rate tracks from Warren G and Slick Rick, among several other stars. It's a consistent, fun collection that keeps the good times rolling. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music ... see all copies from $1.99!
17 view cover	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!
18 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Diana Ross & the Supremes (1999) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes Every track here except "Reflections" achieved number one pop status. If "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone" had been included, and "Reflections" omitted, the whole CD would be composed of number one pop hits. The omission of "The Happening" (ugh), also a number one hit, was a good one. These 11 songs represent the Supremes', and writers/producers ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
19 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!
20 view cover	But It's Alright (1967) more music like this by J.J. Jackson Soul belter J.J. Jackson is best known for his 1967 smash, "But It's Alright," but he has some fine singles and a couple of excellent albums as well, and 1967's But It's Alright on the Calla label is one of them. Kicking off with the infectious title track, the record alternates between flat-out rockers like "I Dig Girls," "Come See Me (I'm Your ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
21 view cover	Night Beat (1963) more music like this by Sam Cooke Saddled with soaring strings and vocal choruses for maximum crossover potential, Sam Cooke's solo material often masked the most important part of his genius -- his glorious voice -- so the odd small-group date earns a special recommendation in his discography. Thankfully, Cooke's voice took center stage on this admirably low-key session from ... see all copies from $13.07! new only from $15.99!
22 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!
23 view cover	Gold (2005) more music like this by The Supremes With the plethora of options currently in print, the question of whether listeners need another anthology paying homage to the Supremes is entirely a valid one. With Motown's proclivity to recycle and repackage the same material, it comes as no surprise that Gold gathers together four previously issued greatest-hits compilations, Greatest Hits, ... see all copies from $13.58! new only from $16.72!
24 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Diana Ross & Supremes,V 2 (2000) more music like this by Diana Ross & the Supremes The Millennium Collection: The Best of Diana Ross & the Supremes Volume 2 gathers more of the Motown stars' latter-day hits, both with and without Diana Ross. "Nothing But Heartaches," "My World Is Empty Without You," "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone," and "The Happening" are some of the highlights of their late '60s output, while "Up the Ladder ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $5.00!
25 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!
