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 ...

Frankly, there are enough different Marvin Gaye best-of compilations that are on the market, or have been on the market, that fans should be forgiven if they couldn't quite muster a great deal of enthusiasm for yet another one at the time of this release. On its own terms, this double disc is a very good survey of Gaye's most popular songs, ...

Soul Brother has given us a long overdue compilation of Gary Bartz's experimental jazz material from the 1970s, beginning with his classic Harlem Bush Music albums, Taifa and Uhuru from 1970 and 1971, with his band NTU Troop. While it's impossible to overstate the influence his brief tenure with Miles Davis had on him (Bartz is featured on the ...

Motown Chartbusters, Vol. 12

by
Various Artists
The Vol. 12 installment in the Motown Chartbusters series revisits some the best Motown had on offer as the strong era of 1970s soul gave way to the 1980s' penchant for a more elastically synthetic groove. And, of course, the label's roster was there, not only to keep the vibe flowing in traditional style, but also to maintain its forward momentum ...

The title was actually "Singin'..." including quotations marks and an ellipsis, and the three dots might have been meant to stand for "in the Rain," from the evidence of the classy Kosh-designed cover picture. But the title also signaled that Melissa Manchester, previously known primarily as a singer/songwriter, was acting mostly as an ...

It's hard to calculate how many Jacksons hit packages Motown has issued. This one is a good one in terms of selections. But my advice remains -- stay on the lookout for any and all Motown anthologies, even if you have to buy the vinyl. Those were the real deal. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Here's the Marvin Gaye installment in the Free Soul series, released by Motown in Japan in 2002. While you'd have to make an effort to pick 21 tracks from Gaye's catalog that don't make for a great listen, there are several compilations of his that fall somewhere between being good and bad introductions. This one falls somewhere between the two ...

Gary Bartz Ntu Troop
In the late 1970s, Gary Bartz's work became quite commercial. But earlier in the decade -- when the alto and soprano saxophonist led his NTU Troop -- he was more ambitious. Recorded in 1972, Juju Street Songs is among the risk-taking efforts that came from the NTU Troop. This ambitious LP finds Bartz drawing on a variety of influences -- ...

While Live! is far from a complete disappointment, it is sort of sad that the sole representative of the original Jackson 5 (J5) lineup performing in front of an adoring audience doesn't even contain their earliest and biggest hits. With that in mind, what is included isn't all that bad and is more or less a reflection of what Michael, Jermaine, ...
