The Definitive Collection: Deluxe Edition/+DVD

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: Lionel Richie

Release Date October 01, 2007
Lionel Richie is in my top ten list of "Best Artists of All Times". I do have all his albums, which means I have all the songs on this collection here. No doubt, the best music you can find around and worth every cent, however, I have these songs and why not compile it in my MP3. I wont be buying it but if you like Lionel Richie and you do not own all his work, this collection will cover you and more. I have one complaint to make though; why isn't "Deep River Woman" on this album, this song is one of his best unreleased songs, I wonder ??

In the Jungle Groove

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: James Brown

Release Date June 30, 2003
A remarkable compilation from James Brown of unstoppable heavy funk classics and unreleased gems. Originally released in 1986 to capture the ears of the sampling generation, this compliation has now been nicely expanded making it even more essential than ever. Covering a period from late '69 to the early 70's, it is JB at the height of his considerable funk powers - suddenly the godfather grew from a diminutive 5'6" to seemingly become a kind of colossus funk godzilla, stamping his grooves over cities and leaving an indelible influence in his wake.

He was able to capitalise on the formation of a new band, the J.B.'s, consisting of both young and experienced musicians. For perhaps the first time in his career, JB took influence from ... Read More:

Can't Slow Down

by: Lionel Richie

Release Date June 23, 1992
IMHO a great album...but not as good overall as the self titled first. Lionel Richie
To ensure continued enjoyment, NEVER expose yourself to the videos!
Worth having just for Steve Lukather's epic solo on 'Running with the Night' -apparently there are Heavy Rock fans who listen to this track.

The Platinum Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Classic R
by: Detroit Spinners

Release Date March 19, 2007
It's the 60th birthday of Atlantic records which is just the sort of excuse owners Warners need to chuck a pile of compilations at the wall to see what sticks. But hold hard! Don't go away just yet.

In a virtually unheard of, treating the catalogue with respect type move, they've got one of their other minions to take care of business. In this case, reissue specialists Rhino. Which means that when you scrape the muck of the wall you find a dream compilation like this.

The Spinners, despite some massive hits, have been horrendously under rated over the years, and this 20 tracker goes some way towards reclaiming their place at the top table of soulful vocal groups. Kicking off with their two bona fide classics 'I'll Be Around' and ... Read More:
