How You Live (2007) more music like this

by Point of Grace

When the group's streak of 26 consecutive number-ones hits ended with 2004's "I Choose You," the notable women's quartet didn't make major revisions to their sound. They did, however, embellish their harmonic adult contemporary with elements of country pop. The twangy "Any Way" and title track bring to mind the Dixie Chicks or Martina McBride. The ...

The Best of Donald Byrd (1992) more music like this

by Donald Byrd

Given the long period of time that Donald Byrd recorded for Blue Note (from the 1950s through the mid-'70s), it seems more than a little disingenuous to refer to the relatively brief period he spent with the Mizell Brothers as his producers, arrangers, and composers in the '70s as his best work. It is true that it was his most commercially viable ...

Places and Spaces (1975) more music like this

by Donald Byrd

Reuniting with Larry Mizell, the man behind his last three LPs, Donald Byrd continues to explore contemporary soul, funk, and R&B with Places and Spaces. In fact, the record sounds more urban than its predecessor, which often played like a Hollywood version of the inner city. Keeping the Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, and Sly Stone influences of ...

Anthology: The Best of Michael Jackson (1995) more music like this

by Michael Jackson

Motown's 1995 anthology of young Michael Jackson's musical output prior to his groundbreaking era that began with Off the Wall is nothing short of definitive, collecting all of his charted U.S. Motown hits, including "Got to Be There," "Rockin' Robin," "I Wanna Be Where You Are," "With a Child's Heart," "We're Almost There," "Just a Little Bit of ...

Joyful Jukebox Music (1976) more music like this

by The Jackson 5

Although technically credited to "The Jackson Five featuring Michael Jackson," Joyful Jukebox Music (1976) was actually issued after the quintet split from Motown, their home for five years and a total of 11 long-players. The majority of the contents had been cut several years earlier circa the sessions that yielded Skywriter (1973) and Get It ...

City Life/Unfinished Business (1975) more music like this

by The Blackbyrds

This 1999 reissue combines two of the Blackbyrds' classic albums, City Life from 1975 and Unfinished Business from 1976, on a single 74-minute CD. To be sure, "classic" isn't a word that many jazz purists have used to describe the albums -- when Donald Byrd produced them, bop's hard-liners were denouncing the Clifford Brown-influenced trumpeter as ...

Anthology (1986) more music like this

by Michael Jackson

When a teenage Michael Jackson was known primarily for his membership in the Jackson 5, rock critics tended to dismiss him as bubblegum. But even at his most waifish, the pre-Thriller, pre-Quincy Jones Jackson could be soulful. Spanning 1971-1975, this two-CD set shows how inviting some of Jackson's early solo recordings were. Major hits like "Ben ...

Street Grooves [Fantasy] (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is a solid, top-to-bottom compilation of the crossover jazz that blossomed in the 1970s, also known as groove jazz. Different than the soul-jazz of the 1960s it grew out of, the groove jazz that came out of the '70s and '80s was deeply entwined in funk and R&B -- in many cases inseparable from it. Perhaps the best case for this is on the ...
