Soul Man – The Ultimate Soul Classics

Natural Woman – 40 songs for the life you lead

Includes a good deal of material that is outside the scope of this site, which is a shame given the devine soul track that the title gives, and it’s not even on here!

But on the other hand if a track like Alicia Keyes wonderful you don’t know my name introduces people to the soul market then all will be worthwhile. Basically however a pop album that is enhanced by the likes of Usher, Sade, Kelly, a few other pop R’n’B things and a couple of good oldies like Jocelyn Brown and Gabrielle

SOUL MAN – THE ULTIMATE SOUL CLASSICS

A canter through the classics – every one a gem. Every one massively well known and not much to add. All the great names, few surprises, some outstanding stuff. The connoisseur will already have all of these without exception but as a handy package you cannot go wrong.

Particularly poignant right now of course is Johnny Bristol’s Hang on in there baby.

Top tracks for me Otis – it will always be Otis because for everything he will always be the man, just as Aretha will always be the woman. Al Green, Billy Paul and Bill withers, Teddy, David Ruffin and Luther too.

Special mention though for those male vocal groups – a genre needing revival – what talent there was in The Delfonics, the ChiLites, the Spinners, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, the Ojays, Smokey and the Miracles.

Top Notch for a reminiscing soul journey.
