1	The Ultimate Collection (1997) more music like this by The Temptations With the exception of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, one would be hard pressed to name a Motown act who went through as many creative shifts as the Temptations. While Wonder's and Gaye's changes of direction were a product of their own creative rebellion against Berry Gordy's brilliant but often formulaic vision, the Temptations seemed to be the ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.78!
2	Duets [Original Soundtrack] (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The original soundtrack to Bruce Paltrow's karaoke drama Duets follows up on the film's premise, collecting the actors' performances of pop favorites. Huey Lewis' "Feelin' Alright," Maria Bello's "I Can't Make You Love Me," and John Pinette's "Copacabana" may not equal the original versions, but they're still entertaining enough in the album's ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
3	Some Girls (1978) more music like this by The Rolling Stones During the mid-'70s, the Rolling Stones remained massively popular, but their records suffered from Jagger's fascination with celebrity and Keith's worsening drug habit. By 1978, both punk and disco had swept the group off the front pages, and Some Girls was their fiery response to the younger generation. Opening with the disco-blues thump of ... see all copies from $2.93! new only from $10.34!
4	Glow (2001) more music like this by Peter White More than most jazz lite artists, Peter White flaunts a restless improvisational sense, which is fully evident on Glow. Aside from a few incidental fills tossed into the breeze by this or that horn player, this is entirely White's show. His performance on all these tracks, typically over a backdrop of gauzy major-seventh string pads, provides a ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
5	Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007) more music like this by Boyz II Men Three years after the all-covers Throwback -- a release that included some pleasantly surprising choices for new looks, like One Way's "Cutie Pie" and Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do for Love" -- Boyz II Men reappear not with yet another covers affair. As indicated by the title, the trio changes its focus to Motown for a set that ranges ... see all copies from $7.01! new only from $10.56!
6	Still Life (1982) more music like this by The Rolling Stones Like Love You Live before it, Still Life showcases the Stones as pure entertainers, although the band adds enough rhythmic grit to keep the record from sinking into pure showbiz formula. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.90!
7	Just Feels Right (2005) more music like this by Euge Groove The sophomore release on Narada's jazz imprint for Tower of Power's former saxman Euge Groove, Just Feels Right is an attempt to return to the music of 1976. The groove is the key to the whole, with a mix of funk, smooth jazz, and what almost sounds like quiet storm popping in from time to time. The album was made with a vintage ethic, using ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $15.85!
8	Gold (2005) more music like this by The Temptations With an onslaught of greatest-hits compilations to their name, finding the ideal Temptations anthology can prove to be a daunting task for the die-hard fan as well as for those simply looking for the hits. Granted, there are several in print that are passable but by no means thorough surveys. And aside from the onslaught of midrange budget-line ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $11.75!
9	Bette (2000) more music like this by Bette Midler Using her regular touring band and employing Don Was, an expert on helping pop veterans reclaim the sounds that made them successful, Bette Midler makes an excellent album to tie in with the premiere of her network television show. Was seems to conceive of Midler as a kind of pre-rock, neo-Brill Building performer, frequently putting her into mid ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.23!
10	Anthology [1995] (1995) more music like this by The Temptations A definitive overview of the Temptations' career at Motown, Anthology was first released on LP in 1973, revamped in 1986, and updated once again for the CD era in 1995, with modern remastering technology and new packaging. The 1995 version tinkers with the selections a bit, appends a few later singles released after the original issue, and adds a ... see all copies from $12.50! new only from $37.39!
11 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Temptations, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by The Temptations No company knows how to recycle product like Motown, who seems to have repackaged most of their significant output dozens of times, and the rest hardly less than that -- though the truth is that a lot of Motown product has vanished into obscurity, never (thankfully) to be seen again (does anybody really want to remember Motown taking aim at FM ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $4.68!
12 view cover	Motown Remixed (2005) more music like this by Various Artists It starts off promising enough, even for the staunchest of soul purists. The beautiful guitar playing of David T. Walker and the bass playing of Wilton Felder interweave around one another free of percussion to create one of the most famous and beautiful intros in all of soul music, the Jackson Five's "I Want You Back." From there, it all goes ... see all copies from $4.81! new only from $10.96!
13 view cover	Body + Soul: Sweet Seduction (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Body & Soul: Sweet Seduction isn't much different from the other volumes in Time/Life's Body & Soul series: It's a collection of smooth, romantic soul and urban contemporary from the '70s and '80s. But even if there isn't much rhyme or reason as to which songs were chosen for which volumes, this is still a pretty strong double-disc set. It's ... see all copies from $3.58! new only from $17.24!
14 view cover	Just Like Heaven [Soundtrack] (2005) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Just Like Heaven is a fairly standard romantic comedy soundtrack, assembling a mix of classics, covers, and excerpts of Rolfe Kent's score. The covers range from good-natured singer/songwriterisms like Pete Yorn's "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" and Katie Melua's pretty, mellow version of the film's namesake (the Cure's original ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.66!
15 view cover	Dead Presidents, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Dead Presidents was an unexpected chart hit, mainly because it served as a superb one-stop sampler of classic '70s funk, soul and R&B, albeit with a darker, harsher edge. Dead Presidents Vol. 2 follows in the same vein. It may be hard to remember when (or even if) these songs actually appear in the film, but there's no question ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $7.75!
16 view cover	Twist of Motown (2003) more music like this by Various Artists There's a scene in Oliver Stone's 1986 film Platoon that speaks volumes about the importance of Motown Records to the baby boomer generation. In that scene from Platoon -- which takes place in the jungles of Vietnam during the Vietnam War -- several American soldiers are singing the Miracles' "The Tracks of My Tears" in an effort to provide some ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.91!
17 view cover	Speak Your Peace (2002) more music like this by Terry Callier When Terry Callier returned to the music scene as an active participant in 1998, after 20 years in self-imposed exile, he jumped headlong into the recording and touring process. His first two recordings, the fine Timepeace and the less-than-satisfying LifeTime, both had songs worthy of anything Callier ever wrote during the 1960s or 1970s. The ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
18 view cover	Motown Number 1's, Vol. 2 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Motown Number 1's, Vol. 2, like the other releases in Universal Music Distribution's Number 1's series, is filled to near capacity and comes in an attractive die-cut package, though it is chintzy -- as in primed for the recycling bin, or capable of being blown away by the tailwind of a closing door. Nothing can deny the value of the contents of ... see all copies from $5.78! new only from $5.78!
19 view cover	More Motown Classics Gold (2007) more music like this by Various Artists There is a certain irony that Universal Music has now devoted two entries in its mid-priced double-CD series of hits compilations called "Gold" to "Motown Classics" because, during the period under consideration, 1962-1971, despite Motown's demonstrated commercial success, company president Berry Gordy, Jr., never once submitted a recording to the ... see all copies from $16.72! new only from $16.72!
20 view cover	My Girl: The Very Best of the Temptations (2002) more music like this by The Temptations At the time of the release of the two-disc Temptations compilation My Girl: The Very Best of the Temptations, Motown had in print a five-CD box set, Emperors of Soul; a one-disc Ultimate Collection; and two volumes of the midline-priced 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection on the group (not to mention umpteen older comps). So, this TV ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $39.99!
21 view cover	Sky's the Limit (1971) more music like this by The Temptations Eddie Kendricks said so long to The Temptations on this early-'70s album, with the glorious "Just My Imagination" being his swan song. The song that everyone missed was their lengthy, imaginative version of "Smiling Faces Sometimes," which wasn't a huge hit for them, but became a smash for The Undisputed Truth. Although they were successful with ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.00!
22 view cover	Pride & Joy (2002) more music like this by Kevin Mahogany Kevin Mahogany's decision to cover Motown hits in a jazz setting stems from his desire to not only increase the audience for jazz, but to add new material to the music's repertoire, in addition to the established standards. The results are ear-opening, particularly for those who never seriously listened to the likes of Marvin Gaye or Smokey ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $8.48!
23 view cover	Greatest Hits [Classic World] (2000) more music like this by The Temptations see all copies from $10.32! new only from $10.32!
24 view cover	Classic Soul Ballads: Sweet Thing (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Time-Life's Classic Soul Ballads: Sweet Thing gathers 20 songs from various time frames and blends them into a collection of exactly what the title promises -- if you are willing to stretch your definition of soul to include Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last" and Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You," that is. In other words, soul snobs ... see all copies from $7.03! new only from $7.03!
25 view cover	My Girl [Spectrum] (1997) more music like this by The Temptations see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
