Bill Withers
Eighteen tracks, from the early '70s to the mid-'80s, including his early Top Ten singles, but also minor hits like "Grandma's Hands," "Kissing My Love," and "Lovely Day." Those who admire songs like "Lean on Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine" are advised to approach this best-of with caution; from the mid-'70s onward, Bill Withers forsook his folky ...

Will Smith
In retrospect, the point at which Will Smith went too far was with 1999's "Freakin' It," on which, over samples from "Love Hangover" and "Rapper's Delight," he boasted of his movie earnings, defended himself against charges of being a "soft" rapper, and criticized his peers. It was hard to dispute any of his arguments (though the citation of the ...

Grover Washington, Jr.
Hip-O Select's Ultimate Collection of Grover Washington, Jr. tunes is pretty much that. It's true that it does leave out his great, side-long reading of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" and his version of "Mercy Mercy Me." That said, this is an amazing set that includes in its first three selections "Mister Magic," "Just the Two of Us," (a vocal tune ...

Various Artists
The Sessions wing of Union Square Music comes up with another no-frills but boldly packaged double-disc set of both familiar and overlooked music. As with other installments in the series like Funk Sessions and Breaks Sessions, Soul Sessions -- to both its detriment and its credit -- is hardly a run-of-the-mill compilation. It includes some smooth ...

Grover Washington, Jr.
This album is part of a series of budget imports from Warner that pulls from their huge archives to highlight some of jazz's most classic musicians. Compilations, especially budget-line collections, tend to be either boring greatest-hits lists that any fan would already own, or poorly recorded live tracks that sound like they issued from the ...

This budget-line disc is a pleasant mix of ballads (Larry Graham's "One in a Million You," Atlantic Starr's "Always," Shirley Murdock's "As We Lay") and dance lite (Al B. Sure's "Night and Day," Ready for the World's "Oh Sheila," Levert's "Casanova"). The collection is a decent, albeit incomplete, slice of '80s soul hits. Like the rest of this ...
