OJAYS - THE COLLECTION
Ojays "The Collection" Album Review
Sounds GREAT...
I am going to review many Time-Life items that I have purchased over the years - Sounds of the 70's, Sounds of the 70's (Take Two), Legends of Rock & Roll, numerous 60's CDs & 50's CDs. The recordings are excellent and I know all the tunes - most have at least 18 songs. I would recommend any of Time-Life's compilations to anyone, who is looking for a great CD with alot of songs, we all know. The only complaint I have is that the CDs should have been maximized on the 50's & 60's selections. All in all, a very good purchase...
NEW BIRTH - BLIND BABY
New Birth "Blind Baby" Album Review
Can You Dig It?
The New Birth was a collective of talented singers & musicians united in the name of soul. Much of their best music was recorded in the early 70's and their albums were listening experiences loaded with funky, soulful grooves, tight horns and powerful vocals. Their absolute best album, in my opinion, is 1975's BLIND BABY. <br> <br>The instrumental title track starts with a crying baby accompanied by reverberating, sparse guitar, leading into the moody main groove with a heavy saxophone solo throughout. It sets the tone for the rest of the album with this incredibly soulful vibe. "Dream Merchant" and "Granddaddy", with Leslie <br>Wilson's gospel/James Brown influenced tenor, are the hits from this album but there's more great music here like "Forever" and "Why Did I", both led by the super-sweet soprano of Londee Wiggins. "Blind Man" and "I Remember Well" contain messages of positivity such as "Mama used to say half the truth is as bad as a lie". Deep.<p>Pretty much any New Birth album is a listening experience but BLIND BABY is deeply conceptual. In a word, this is Soul.<p>Also on this disc is COMIN' FROM ALL ENDS in it's entirety. It was released a year before BLIND BABY but has the same soulful vibe. <p>Order it, listen & get lost in this deep soul. Enjoy.

DIONNE WARWICK - AN EVENING WITH DIONNE WARWICK
Dionne Warwick "An Evening with Dionne Warwick" Album Review
Brillant!!!
I own this CD. It's hard to imagine that Ms. Warwick has been in this business we call "show" for forty years. She not only sounds but looks great. This is a treat for all of Warwick's fans. You won't regret adding this CD to your existing collection. To quote Ms. Warwick " you are going hear something that is truly magical so sit back, relax and enjoy".
