1	The Very Best of Robert Palmer (1997) more music like this by Robert Palmer Despite my (yet rationalized) fondness for his 1980 electro-pop hit "Johnny and Mary" (included here), the 16-track collection The Very Best of Robert Palmer mostly leaves me cold. Palmer has the tools, but the mechanicals lack potency and soul. Still, if combining mid-'80s hits like "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistible" with a whiff of ... see all copies from $10.73! new only from $10.73!
2	Back to Front (2007) more music like this by The Temptations No vocal group is better qualified to pay tribute to R&B's golden era than the Temptations, who do exactly that on Back to Front (an album containing mostly covers of soul classics from the '60s and '70s). Some soul connoisseurs will question whether or not the 2007 lineup heard on Back to Front should even be called the Temptations; Otis Williams ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.06!
3	Akeelah and the Bee [Original Soundtrack] (2006) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $6.30! new only from $10.55!
4	Somebody's Comin' (1997) more music like this by Terry Mcmillan see all copies from $3.14!
5	Universal Masters (2001) more music like this by Bruce Willis see all copies from $6.66! new only from $6.66!
6	S.O.S.: Save Our Soul (2007) more music like this by Marc Broussard It might have come out in 2007, but S.O.S.: Save Our Soul is a record very much grounded in the soul music of the 1960s and 1970s, both in material and sound. To begin with, all but one of the songs is a cover of a '60s or '70s soul tune. The arrangements have a very vintage sound as well, singer Marc Broussard and multi-instrumentalist/background ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $7.99!
7	Bring It on Home... The Soul Classics (2006) more music like this by Aaron Neville For Aaron Neville, the impact of Hurricane Katrina could only be expressed through music, specifically on songs that are uplifting, meaningful, and close to the heart. Bring It on Home...The Soul Classics is about recovery: a positive response not only to the natural disaster of the hurricane, but undoubtedly to the blasé attitude about it from ... see all copies from $13.39! new only from $13.39!
8	The Ultimate Staple Singers: A Family Affair (2004) more music like this by The Staple Singers Considering what a long, popular, and respected career the Staple Singers had, it's surprising that there was no comprehensive compilation prior to this 2004 release that spanned their gospel and soul eras, from the 1950s to the 1980s. You can count on the Ace group of labels to do these things right, however, and this two-CD, 44-song set is a ... see all copies from $23.96! new only from $23.96!
9	From East Memphis to Kingston (1999) more music like this by Various Artists American soul music's influence on reggae has never been a secret, so the idea behind From East Memphis to Kingston is a good one: choose classic soul tunes associated with Memphis (especially the Stax/Volt and Hi labels) for various reggae artists to cover. As with most albums of this nature, some tracks work better than others, especially Third ... see all copies from $3.98!
10	Respect Yourself (2002) more music like this by Joe Cocker see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.46!
11 view cover	Mr. 3000 (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Although the soundtrack to Bernie Mac's baseball comedy Mr. 3000 might be a somewhat predictable mix of classic funk, disco, and soul hits, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. In fact, the bulk of the album is just as good, if not better, than many compilations of these styles. Mr. 3000's beginning is particularly strong, with the triple ... see all copies from $2.35! new only from $3.14!
12 view cover	In the House (1995) more music like this by The 5th Dimension The 5th Dimension attempts a comeback by redefining itself as a Quiet Storm R&B act, but gives the game away right off the bat by having themselves introduced by co-executive producer Dick Clark, who declares, "The 5th Dimension is in the house!" Suddenly, the enterprise seems as hip as a Publishers Clearinghouse commercial, and no amount of drum ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Instant Party: Whole Lotta Soul (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Unlike some of the other volumes in the Instant Party series, Instant Party: Whole Lotta Soul delivers a focused set of 14 soul classics, including the Staple Singers' "Respect Yourself," James Brown's "I Got You (I Feel Good)," and Rufus Thomas' "Walking the Dog." Sam & Dave's "Soul Man," Booker T. & the MG's' "Green Onions," Aretha Franklin's ... see all copies from $5.57! new only from $5.57!
14 view cover	Stax Gold (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Here are 15 reasons why Stax remains one of the great R&B/soul labels of the 1960s. Big ticket items aboard include Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft," Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness," Johnnie Taylor's "Who's Making Love," Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff," the Dramatics' "What You See Is What You Get," and Booker T. and the MGs' "Time Is Tight. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
15 view cover	Real Love (1994) more music like this by Johnnie Taylor The quality of Johnny Taylor's recordings hasn't suffered much since the major labels abandoned him for younger, fresher meat. "Back Street Love Affair" is southern soul magic, a gripping ballad depicting the multiple hearts-in-a-tangle theme; he updates "Lady Soul" popularized by the Temptations, and the the Staple Singers' smash "Respect ... see all copies from $14.60! new only from $14.60!
16 view cover	Ultimate Collection [Universal International] (2005) more music like this by Bruce Willis see all copies from $30.59! new only from $30.59!
17 view cover	Oldies But Goodies: 13 of the Best 70's Funk (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Original Sound's Oldies but Goodies: 13 of the Best 70's Funk samples 13 tracks that made the pop and soul charts in the mid- to late '70s by the original artists, featuring "Play That Funky Music" (Wild Cherry), "Serpentine Fire" (Earth, Wind & Fire), and "Tell Me Something Good" (Rufus). Also included are popular favorites by the Staple Singers, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

19 view cover	Soul Comes Home: A Celebration of Stax Records (2004) more music like this by Various Artists From the opening track here, a reprise by Eddie Floyd of his hit "Knock on Wood," this reunion concert, held on April 30, 2003, at the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis to commemorate the opening of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, kicks immediately into high gear. Stax, which defined and personified the heart of Deep South Memphis soul in the ... see all copies from $7.20! new only from $10.39!
20 view cover	Traffic Jam Jazz [Direct Source] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.29! new only from $6.66!
21 view cover	Lady Sings the Blues [EMI] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists American Capitol or British EMI usually issues excellent torch-song anthologies, since it holds in its vault a fount of great material. Lady Sings the Blues expands the template of jazz-driven torch songs to embrace soul and '60s pop as well, thus its success at presenting a compilation with depth and variety. Along with the usual nuggets of torch ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $22.65!
22 view cover	Super Bad (1991) more music like this by Various Artists While the companion Super Bad Is Back kicked up the funk, its predecessor, Super Bad, brought some of the era's sweetest soul to turntables everywhere. K-Tel may now be the butt of jokes and guffaws, but at the time, and in between some real frights, the label pulled together and presented for the mainstream some absolutely amazing sets -- full of ... see all copies from $5.00!
23 view cover	Etta: Red Hot 'n' Live (1982) more music like this by Etta James see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
24 view cover	Too Close (1999) more music like this by The Staple Singers A nine song budget collection that brings together early Vee-Jay sides, live performances from both the late 1950s and early 1970s. The early sides are taken from vinyl and 78 shellac sources and exhibit a fair amount of surface noise, but the music in performances of "Too Close," "Good News," and "Don't Drive Me Away" move mountains and make all ... see all copies from $2.15! new only from $2.49!
25 view cover	Solid Gold Soul Inspiration (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Time Life in the soul reissue business? That just can't be right. Well, by the looks of this fine mix and others, the answer is an enthusiastic yes. The theme this time out is inspiration, and there's plenty of it to be had. Whether in the gospel mode by Edwin Hawkins ("Oh Happy Day") and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles ("Abraham, Martin, and John" ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $4.99!
