1	Gonna Take a Miracle [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Laura Nyro and LaBelle With the 1971 release Gonna Take a Miracle, pop composer and vocalist Laura Nyro completed her four-album/four-year deal for Columbia. Nyro's passion for R&B can be traced back to some of her earliest compositions, such as "Wedding Bell Blues" and "Stoned Soul Picnic" -- both of which were covered by the R&B vocal quintet the Fifth Dimension. More ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
2	Gonna Take a Miracle: The Best of Deniece Williams (1996) more music like this by Deniece Williams This 16-track, 72-and-a-half-minute compilation contains Deniece Williams' two number one pop/R&B hits, "Let's Hear It for the Boy" and "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" (a duet with Johnny Mathis), as well as her remake of "It's Gonna Take a Miracle," an R&B number one and Top Ten pop hit, and "Free," which just missed the top of the R&B chart and ... see all copies from $10.10! new only from $10.10!
3	Time and Love: The Essential Masters (2000) more music like this by Laura Nyro As a 16-song, single-disc best-of, this does the job very nicely for those who want Nyro's best and most famous songs in one place. Only nine tracks into the CD you've already heard "Sweet Blindness," "Wedding Bell Blues," "And When I Die," "Blowin' Away," "Eli's Comin'," "Stoney End," and "Stoned Soul Picnic," which should be enough to convince ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
4	Art Laboe's Dedicated to You, Vol. 4 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists You can't go wrong with this compilation of familiar soul oldies and unfamiliar (to many) overlooked soul gems. The latter category includes "It's Okay" by the Sunglows and "Smile Now, Cry Later" by Sunny & the Sunliners (the same group as the Sunglows), Bertha Tilman's "Oh My Angel" and the Delegation's infectious "Oh Honey." The golden goodies ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $7.97!
5	Ain't That Loving You (2005) more music like this by Ken Boothe Toots Hibbert aside, Ken Boothe probably came closer than any other Jamaican singer of his generation to re-creating an island version of Memphis soul, and his gritty vocals on his frequent covers of American R&B hits often brought refreshing new dimensions to the songs. This collection is a bit on the hit-or-miss side, but it has enough strong ... see all copies from $10.38! new only from $10.38!
6	Everything I Own (1974) more music like this by Ken Boothe While not the album of the same name Boothe cut for Trojan in 1974, this compilation does include songs from that release, along with many other standout tracks spanning the singer's rocksteady and early-reggae prime. Often likened to Wilson Pickett, Boothe, with his similarly gruff soul delivery, is in top form throughout the 26 tracks here. In ... see all copies from $14.85!
7	Take Two (2002) more music like this by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam/Deniece Williams see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.98!
8	Soul Love 80s (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Madacy's Soul Love '80s offers a decent but random assortment of popular R&B hits. For some strange reason, most '80s compilations tend to favor the early half of the decade, and this one's no exception. As can be expected by the title, the disc is pretty reliant on ballads, but it does throw in a couple upbeat selections for the sake of variety. ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $2.99!
9	The Best of the Philly Sound (1999) more music like this by Various Artists By grafting strings and smooth horn charts to the Memphis groove, Leon Huff, Kenny Gamble, and Thom Bell created what became known as "the Philly Sound" in the 1970s, a formula that prefigured both disco (by dialing up the funk) and (once they factored in Al Green and Hi Records) contemporary urban soul. Examples of both strains can be found on ... see all copies from $13.30! new only from $13.30!
10	Timeless Soul Ballads, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.43! new only from $9.43!
11 view cover	Old School Love Songs, Vol. 5 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Thump's many variations on their Old School series haven't been immune to overlap, and the Love Songs volumes have hardly been an exception. Even so, there's enough variation throughout to keep them from being nothing more than recycled matter -- and quite a lot of ground is covered, with three decades of R&B taken into consideration. Thump ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!
12 view cover	Soul Hits of the 80's [Sony Music Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists A budget three-CD set, Soul Hits of the 80's collects some of that awkward decade's soul moments from the Columbia/Sony catalog. Note the author's use of "moments" and the title's use of "hits," because they are, in fact, talking about the same songs. Not everything here was a hit, with some of the songs just squeaking into the Billboard Top 100; ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!
13 view cover	Everything I Own: Definitive Collection (2007) more music like this by Ken Boothe Often referred to as the Jamaican Otis Redding, Ken Boothe probably came closer than any other Jamaican singer of his generation (Toots Hibbert aside) to re-creating an island version of Memphis soul, and his gritty and nuanced vocals on his frequent covers of American R&B hits often brought refreshing new dimensions to the songs. This two-disc, ... see all copies from $18.73! new only from $18.73!
14 view cover	Superstars of Seventies Soul (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Of all people, ex-Rhino Records founder Richard Foos ought to know how many collections of '70s soul already glut the marketplace as of this box set's arrival in 2004. He himself put out the definitive 20-volume library of Soul Hits of the 70s: Didn't It Blow Your Mind!, not to mention the six-disc distillation The 70's Soul Experience, and cloned ... see all copies from $39.74! new only from $39.74!
15 view cover	R&B Classics [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists There's no denying that this odd mix, which ranges from Gladys Knight's sublime "Midnight Train to Georgia" and Marvin Gaye's redemptive "Sexual Healing" to Nina Simone's theatrical "To Be Young, Gifted and Black" and Patti Labelle's stomping "Lady Marmalade" is full of classic sides, but at ten tracks, it's pretty short and there really isn't any ... see all copies from $3.51! new only from $3.51!
16 view cover	Everything I Own: The Best of Ken Boothe (2003) more music like this by Ken Boothe As half of the popular duo Stranger & Ken in the early '60s, Ken Boothe was one of the defining voices of the ska era. As the decade progressed and ska slowed down and thickened into rocksteady (which would itself eventually congeal into reggae), he changed with it, and became one of Jamaica's most popular solo artists. Boothe's vocal style, like ... see all copies from $69.97!
17 view cover	Come Get It: The Complete Josie Recordings 1970-1971 (2000) more music like this by Honey & the Bees see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!
18 view cover	It's Gonna Take a Miracle (1965) more music like this by The Royalettes In 1966, four completely unknown women from Baltimore, MD, called the Royalettes took the country by storm with their smash "It's Gonna Take a Miracle," a Teddy Randazzo-penned soul/doo wop number that Laura Nyro would cover a few years later. In those days, the single was everything; albums were created around one or two singles to resell the ... see all copies from $40.00! new only from $47.18!
