by
Sade
Former model Sade made an immediate and huge impact with her 1984 debut album, Diamond Life. Her sound and approach were deliberately icy, her delivery and voice aloof, deadpan, and cold, and yet she became an instant sensation through such songs as "Smooth Operator" and "Your Love Is King," where the slick production and quasi-jazz backing seemed ...

by
Joan Osborne
Joan Osborne's "One of Us" was her one and only hit back in 1995, and it gave her near-mythical status though it misrepresented her talent as a singer. Osborne is a soul singer and a blues singer. She has performed with everyone from the Funk Brothers to the Grateful Dead. She's also released very few recordings. And seeing her name on anything ...

How Sweet It Is

by
Joan Osborne
While 1995's Relish proved Joan Osborne was a smart and idiosyncratic lyricist with a big, strong and soulful voice, the unexpected success of the album (and the single "One Of Us") proved to be as much of a burden as a blessing. Touring kept Osborne out on the road for the next few years, and troubles with her record company prevented her follow ...

Get Down Tonight: The Best of Disco

by
Various Artists
As far as budget-line compilations with horrible artwork and less than generous track lists are considered, Get Down Tonight: The Best of Disco isn't too bad, as it compiles original versions of songs that were, indeed, hits -- though not all of them are truly disco, or even released during the disco era. Regardless, here are 12 hits, all from the ...

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 ...

by
Various Artists
Most of the songs on Soul Hits of the 70s: Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Vol. 10 date from early 1973, and by that time, '70s soul had begun to fracture slightly, with the funk getting funkier and the smooth soul becoming even more polished than before. In fact, most soul singles had slick productions, even if the beats were hot. Nevertheless, the ...

There are a number of arguments to be made for and against Maria Muldaur's 2008 antiwar statement Yes We Can! on Telarc (before actually listening to it; remember, we live in a cynical culture). The "perceived" negatives all relate to the intent of the recording and who it's supposed to reach (no doubt an expression of the same set of beliefs ...

As a triple threat, guitarist/organist/singer Lucky Peterson is able to vary the usual repetitive patterns that a full-length album of blues music can fall into, and though the back cover of his self-titled 1999 album advises "File Under: BLUES, " advice we would not dispute, a lot of different bases are covered on the album.

Twogether Soul is another double-disc set from the U.K. wing of EMI that cannibalizes the vaults to make for a decent budget-oriented release. Almost all of these 40 selections are a classic in some sense, and it's a surprisingly decent introduction to '60s and '70s soul music. The Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," Percy Sledge's "When a ...
