Johnny Rivers
Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of some of Johnny Rivers' hits, and while there are some essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such hits as "Memphis," "The Midnight Special," "The Seventh Son," "Secret Agent Man," "Baby I Need Your Loving," "The Tracks of My Tears" and "The Poor ...

The Four Tops
The Ultimate Collection series was a rare success from Motown, one of the first of the label's many compilation series to do justice to some of the finest performers, arrangers, and musicians of the soul era. Nearly every artist with an entry was given the luxury treatment, with a disc-filling running time, excellent compilation decisions, and a ...

by
Various Artists
Instead of following Stax/Volt's pattern and delivering an exhaustive box set containing all of their singles, Motown decided to limit their singles box, Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971, to four discs that concentrated on the hits. There are a handful of wonderful lesser-known songs here, such as the Contours' "First I Look ...

A Bronx Tale
(1993)
more music like this
by
Original Soundtrack
The music from this motion picture consists of period tunes heard in the Bronx and elsewhere in the 1950s and '60s, starting, naturally, with homeboys Dion & the Belmonts and running through the Jimi Hendrix Experience. That's quite a stretch, of course, but it is bridged by interludes given over to re-creations of the period sound by Cool Change. ...

The Four Tops
Not to be confused with the Four Tops compilation simply entitled Anthology (which only covers their Motown recordings), 50th Anniversary Anthology is a double-CD set spanning their first Motown hit in 1964 to the late '80s. Does it include all of the popular numbers that most fans want from a greatest-hits collection? Definitely. Is it as good as ...

Mitch Ryder
Greatest-hits packages sometimes can rob an artist of their wider focus, only zeroing in on the hits and not giving the true big picture. But this is one time when the hits and the subsequent singles fill the bill in an absolutely perfect way. Although many of these songs turn up on other Mitch Ryder albums, many of the versions included here ...

The cuddly, sepia-warm tones of the hit Fox TV series spill over into this soundtrack, which is redolent with memories of childhood summers, walking in the park, barbecues out back, and all the other good stuff that the show waxed nostalgic about. Of the 13 tracks here, a full seven are covers. These include pop-gospel act Judson Spence's take on ...

Though they have been around for nearly 40 years, the Four Tops were never stronger than during the '60s and early '70s. With a dozen Top 20 and five Top Ten hits, the Tops were just as their name implies. As part of their Millennium Collection, Motown has selected 11 of these hits for consideration as one of the pre-eminent groups of the era. ...

As live recordings go, Live & In Concert isn't half bad. The Four Tops perform a mixture of past and present hits with a full orchestra aided by a crack sound system. Selections like "Midnight Flower," "Keeper of the Castle," and "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)" rival the studio recordings, and Levi Stubbs soliloquy on "I Am Your Man" will ...

A more recent collection of the Four Tops' ABC-Dunhill sides makes this brief ten-track CD obsolete. But I would recommend it for casual listeners. Most of their significant sides are here, with "One Chain Don't Make No Prison" the only glaring omission. Highlights are many: the "Love Music"/"Reach Out" medley; the heart-warming title track and ...

A concept album that's different. Hip-O Records thoughtfully compiled love songs by the Four Tops recorded at Motown and ABC Records. The only gripe is with the selections, but you have to applaud the idea. Representing Motown is their national anthem "Baby I Need Your Loving," as well as "Without the One You Love," a brilliant rendition of Tommy ...

These were the cornerstones of The Four Tops' first LP, and besides netting them one Top Ten and Top 20 pop single each, as well as a Top Ten and Top 20 R&B single, it established Levi Stubbs' resounding voice as another ...

The last of the major Motown groups to receive proper box-set treatment, the Four Tops in a sense got the best of the bunch, since this tells a ripping history while providing a cornucopia of rarities. The latter part of that statement is what prevents the set from being a true must-have for those who just want a comprehensive history, because ...
