Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA

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 ...

More Motown Classics Gold

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 ...

Anthology (1974) more music like this

by The Four Tops

A bountiful three-record collection later issued on two CDs, the Four Tops' Anthology presented, in chronological order, every notable song from the group's tenure at Motown, from their 1964 breakout hit "Baby I Need Your Loving" all the way to 1972's "A Simple Game." (The compact disc also tacked on two songs from the '80s: "I Just Can't Walk ...

Stay Out of the Kitchen

Stay Out of the Kitchen (1993) more music like this

by Mable John

If you're a fan and/or collector of deep Southern soul music from the '60s, you would have encountered in your listening some grade-A sides from one Mable John, most notably the politically incorrect "Don't Hit Me No More." An R&B veteran who did time as one of the Raelettes, her tenure at Stax Records was short, producing little in the way of ...

Motown 40 Forever

Motown 40 Forever (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

Motown never tires of finding ways to repackage their history, but a 40th anniversary celebration is one of the better excuses they could have for releasing another multi-disc retrospective, such as the double-disc Motown 40 Forever. Unfortunately, devoting the first disc to classic '60s hits and isolating '80s and '90s singles works against the ...

What a State I'm In: The Psych Pop Sessions

What a State I'm In: The Psych Pop Sessions (2003) more music like this

by The Tremeloes

This is one delightfully strange, even revelatory compilation CD, a cross-section of the Tremeloes' music devoted exclusively neither to hits nor to rarities -- rather, the producers have culled the strangest, most uncharacteristic sides by the band from four years of sessions, with the emphasis on psychedelic sounds, ranging from the Beatlesque ...

Times Like These

Times Like These (2003) more music like this

by Darrell Nulisch

The fact that Darrell Nulisch was nominated for a W.C. Handy Award does mean something in the blues world. Times Like These does make a person wonder why, though. While it's true that Nulisch's voice is deeply expressive and rings loud and clear in the way Joe Turner's did -- albeit much smoother in delivery -- and he's a more than adequate harp ...

Fourever

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 ...

by Various Artists

K-Earth Oldies Radio: Motown, Soul and Great Rock 'N Roll collects 25 tracks recorded in the '60s and early '70s at Hitsville USA. Unlike similar compilations, this Collectables' disc features the original versions of such number one Motown hits as "Baby Love" (the Supremes), "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" (Marvin Gaye), "I Can't Help Myself ...

Cruizin' to Motown, Vol. 2 (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Cruizin' to Motown, Vol. 2, like the first volume in the budget-line series, doesn't concentrate on any one period of Motown's output, skipping around between the classic '60s sound, the more funk-oriented early-'70s style, and even a few later tracks, as well as including some relative obscurities from well-known artists in place of bigger hits. ...

The Stax Soul Sisters (1988) more music like this

by Various Artists

These fourteen slices of Southern soul from Stax feature some of the legendary label's many female vocalists, with Linda Lyndell's poppin' "What a Man" (later redone into a mega hit by Salt N' Pepa) as the most interesting cut. Memphis Queen Carla Thomas is ultra soulful on "Guide Me Well," which begins with a spoken narrative; and Mavis Staples ...

WCBS FM: Motown, Soul and Rock N Roll - Motown (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

Collectables' 2003 compilation WCBS FM: Motown, Soul and Rock n Roll - Motown delivers 25 tracks of pure Motown gold. It was put together by Joe McCoy from WCBS FM and plays like what one might hope the radio would sound like in heaven. Every song is a hit and the disc flows like a river of sweet champagne. The songs are a fine mix of up-tempo ...

I Made My Own World: The Kent Modern Recordings (2003) more music like this

by Vernon Garrett

Vernon Garrett is a gravel-voiced soul journeyman, recording from the '60s until the present, never striking gold but always cutting soulful and often great sides. I Made My Own World is a collection of his work from the 1960s (with a track or three from the '70s, too), both on his own and as a duo with his wife, Jewel. His best-known track is the ...

The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 (1993) more music like this

by Various Artists

The first Stax-Volt box was a monolith, standing as the definitive document of the labels and, therefore, gritty Southern soul. Its sequel, The Complete Stax-Volt Soul Singles, Vol. 2: 1968-1971 is considerably more problematic. Covering only four years compared to its predecessor, which showcased nine years, Vol. 2 contains 216 tracks, including ...

Whether or not all of the artists and songs represented on this 12-CD boxed set of oldies spanning the 1950s into the '80s were actually featured on American Bandstand is never made clear, but the implication is that, more so than any other TV program, AB was where the music went to be heard first during the show's long run. There is some validity ...
