A Very Special Season

CD-Charts > Music > Motown
by: Diana Ross

Release Date July 29, 2002
Despite being a longtime admirer of Ross's music, I wasn't interested in buying this album when it was first released in the middle 90s because of the Christmas theme. Now I've finally bought it, I can't stop playing some of the songs because Ross sounds at her very best in this semi-classical style.
The live cut of Amazing Grace (from her Christmas In Vienna with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras concert, which I've also just got on CD) is powerful stuff. Other highlights, for me at least, are Oh Holy Night and the final number, The Christmas Song, which Ross closes out in her own special, intimate way.

Yesterday's Dreams & Soul Spin

CD-Charts > Music > Motown
by: Four Tops

Release Date November 05, 2001
Back in the early 70's, when I was just a young impressionable girl, I bought a vinyl copy of 'Soul Spin' and I hardly removed from the turntable for years! I already liked the Four Tops and my favourite song of theirs 'I'm in a different world' appears on the other album included in this package - 'Yesterday's Dreams'.
I hadn't heard 'Soul Spin' for a long time and was delighted to find I still knew all the words to my favourite tracks 'Look out your window', 'Lost in a pool of red' and the fantastic 'Stop the world'. This album really showcases the amazing strong and soulful voice of lead singer, Levi Stubbs, who for me is still Top of the Tops!!!

The Motown Anthology

CD-Charts > Music > Motown
by: Chris Clark

Release Date March 07, 2005
Chris Clark had just 2 singles issued here and 2 albums.In the States she never troubled a chart.
At the same time as her first single I want to go back there again came one by the backing singers a couple of ex cabaret singers called the Lewis Sisters.You need me is for me Tamla Motown's finest hour.
Chris Clark was not the first white girl-that was ex Hot Boppin' Girl DEBBIE DEAN (Debbie Stevens)who cut singles for the label as far back as 1961.Its more difficult to find her stuff.
The next white girl was KIKI DEE who was possibly TM's first non American signing.
This came at a time-1968-when Motown music was becoming very boring and was to reach its nadir with the Jackson Five.
The wonder is this music got out ... Read More:

Reach Out I'll Be There

CD-Charts > Music > Motown
by: Four Tops

Release Date August 02, 1999
First off, Four Tops are one of the best groups and all music fans should go out and get their Holland-Dozier-Holland era songs. But anything after that period (1968) is rarely up to this quality. If you want the best of the Four Tops- get the Motown 2-for-1's; For Tops/Second Album, and On Top/Reach Out. They are £4.99 each on Amazon- original recordings of a group in their prime, with one of the most prolific songwriting teams of all time, and with the legendary funk brothers in support. That's £10 for 47 tracks.

What fans should be aware of is that material before and after the recordings on these albums is inferior- in the vocals, the songwriting and in the session musicians. So why anyone would want to spend £6.99 for 24 tracks ... Read More:
