A skimpy collection for us spoiled by CDs, only ten songs. One sore point: William DeVaughn's rollin', conga spiced "Be Thankful for What You Got," is lanced to three minutes and 26 seconds.

A skimpy collection for us spoiled by CDs, only ten songs. One sore point: William DeVaughn's rollin', conga spiced "Be Thankful for What You Got," is lanced to three minutes and 26 seconds. Thankfully, the good outnumber the bad by a hefty margin. Chicano soul-flavored, Tierra's "Together," has all the magic of the Intruders' original. And, who tires of hearing "Hello Stranger," articulated by sweet singing Barbara Lewis who is aided by the mighty Dells getting their doo wop on? Or, the cha cha beat of Jerry Butler's "He Will Break Your Heart," with Curtis Mayfield playing guitar and shadowing Butler's lead. Johnny Taylor's breakout record, "Who's Making Love," with its jerky rhythm and risque storyline established the former soul stirrer. The southern falsetto sound of "Tell It Like It Is," by a young Aaron Neville made many take notice of the New Orleans sound. A good album for newcomers to soul. The Dramatics, Jean Knight, Dyke & the Blazers and Brenton Wood complete the artist roster. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
