The Ultimate Collection

The Ultimate Collection (1997) more music like this

by 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 ...

Hope and Desire (2005) more music like this

by Susan Tedeschi

On her first outing in three years and her freshman offering for Verve's Forecast label, Susan Tedeschi digs deep into the soul and R&B fakebook for inspiration and comes out a winner. With an all-star band that includes guitarist Doyle Bramhall II, pianist David Palmer, organist Jebin Bruni, bassist Paul Bryan, drummer Jay Bellerose, and guests ...

Motown Two

Motown Two (2004) more music like this

by Michael McDonald

Michael McDonald's 2003 album of Motown covers, modestly titled Motown, was his biggest hit in well over a decade, so it only made sense that he returned with a sequel to the record a little over a year later -- after all, might as well strike while the iron is hot. Logically titled Motown Two, the album follows the same blueprint as the first ...

50th Anniversary Anthology

50th Anniversary Anthology (2004) more music like this

by 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 ...

Rock of Ages [Deluxe Edition]

Rock of Ages [Deluxe Edition] (2001) more music like this

by The Band

Released on the heels of the stilted, static Cahoots, the double-album Rock of Ages occupies a curious yet important place in Band history. Recorded at a spectacular New Years Eve 1971 gig, the show and album were intended to be a farewell of sorts before the Band took an extended break in 1972, but it turned out to be a last hurrah in many ...

These Foolish Things

These Foolish Things (1973) more music like this

by Bryan Ferry

Much like his contemporary David Bowie, Ferry consolidated his glam-era success with a covers album, his first full solo effort even while Roxy Music was still going full steam. Whereas Bowie on Pin-Ups focused on British beat and psych treasures, Ferry for the most part looked to America, touching on everything from Motown to the early jazz ...

Here Comes My Baby: The Ultimate Collection

Here Comes My Baby: The Ultimate Collection (2004) more music like this

by The Tremeloes

Although this three-CD, 82-song package may not have everything the Tremeloes did (and has nothing from the era in which they were the backing group for Brian Poole), it might be the most comprehensive collection of their work, unless someone actually dares to put out a box set of every last damned thing they ever cut. Needless to say, it's not ...

Motown Legends: Mercy Mercy Me

Motown Legends: Mercy Mercy Me (1993) more music like this

by Marvin Gaye

Outside of the blockbusters "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" and "Trouble Man," the majority of the 11 tracks on Motown Legends: Mercy Mercy Me are Marvin Gaye's minor hits, although there's some undeniably brilliant material included. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

I Heard It Through the Grapevine!

I Heard It Through the Grapevine! (1968) more music like this

by Marvin Gaye

Straight-up reissue -- no bonus tracks -- of Marvin's album that featured this mega-hit. The rest of the album varies between Motown readymades from producer Ivy Hunter and odd covers like "Some Kind of Wonderful" and the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby." Any Marvin from this period is worth adding to the collection, but this isn't the place to ...

From the Heart (2006) more music like this

by The Four Tops

From the Heart is a bit of a melancholic record -- not because of the track listing or performances contained herein, but stemming largely from the fact that founding member Obie Benson passed away during the production of this disc. Historical and external circumstances aside, this is an all-star tribute to one of Motown's crown jewels. Guest ...

The Price to Play (1966) more music like this

by Alan Price

Price's first album (released in the U.K. only, although some tracks would come out in the U.S.) is a rather routine set of club R&B/soul. Fronting a six-piece that includes three horns, Price sticks mostly to covers of familiar American tunes like "Mercy Mercy," "Ain't That Peculiar," "I Can't Turn You Loose," and "Barefootin'" on this amiable, ...

To Kingdom Come (1989) more music like this

by The Band

Released in the fall of 1989, To Kingdom Come is a double-disc set that purports to be "The Definitive Collection" and, in a sense, it does provide a good overview of the band's career. Over the course of 31 songs, the collection works its way through the hits and album tracks, adding such rarities as "Get Up Jake," "Back to Memphis," and "Lovin' ...

Soulful Plus (2004) more music like this

by Dionne Warwick

In the late '60s, it was briefly in vogue for woman singers known more for pop than for soul to go to Memphis, Miami, or Muscle Shoals to record and get funky. Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Lulu, and Cher all did this, and so did Dionne Warwick, with 1969's Soulful. And although it was actually a big commercial success, reaching number 11 on ...

Motown Anthology (2005) more music like this

by Chuck Jackson

Everything from Chuck Jackson's three Motown albums is included on this two-CD compilation, along with 12 rare cuts covering his non-LP single "Pet Names," a couple tracks that didn't surface until after 2000 on Motown rarity anthologies, and nine songs that were released here for the first time. While it's good to have this rare material so ...

The Singles+ (2000) more music like this

by The Four Tops

One really wants to love this imported two-CD set, and there is some good reason to -- but not as much as there should be. Until its release, listeners could reasonably have despaired of ever seeing much more of the Four Tops' legacy in print in digital audio; Motown Records was seemingly content recycling the same hits over and over, while the ...

Once Upon a Time: The Best of Delroy Wilson (1998) more music like this

by Delroy Wilson

One of Jamaica's most prolific and best loved singers, Delroy Wilson cut his first single in 1961, and continued recording and performing almost to his death in 1995. Over the years, the singer has released innumerable records and scores upon scores of classic songs. Twenty-five of them appear here, and while they certainly are amongst his best, ...

Fourever (2001) more music like this

by The Four Tops

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 ...

Seek & You Shall Find: More of the Best (1963-1981) (1993) more music like this

by Marvin Gaye

While it features nothing much in the way of big hits or difficult-to-find rarities, Seek & You Shall Find: More of the Best (1963-1981) offers a remarkably concise picture of the creative twists and turns of Marvin Gaye's career at Motown Records. Over the course of these 18 tracks, you can hear the Motown production style evolve from the brassy ...

Perfect Timing (1982) more music like this

by Kiki Dee

Perfect Timing is an album of great substance by Kiki Dee, surrounding herself with more top-notch players and very strong material. Elton John duets on the Stevie Wonder/Ivy Hunter gem, and of course it's good, but other songs are the standouts here: Chris Bradford's "Wild Eyes"; Dee's co-write with Eric Kaz, "There's a Need"; pianist Bias ...

Goin' Back to Chuck Jackson (1969) more music like this

by Chuck Jackson

Yet another nice Chuck Jackson album that didn't generate anywhere near the reaction it merited. Jackson was prevented in the '60s from being in the spotlight by a glut of great performers, and also because he landed most of his hits in the early '60s and wasn't really in the mainstream at the peak of soul's commercial onslaught. Ron Wynn, All ...
