Back to Black

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date March 26, 2001
The clearance issue here clearly dents this box set especially near the end where there are some stunning omissions. Like it says in the accompanying book most R&B and hip hop coexisted as one and in many ways this is how the cds pan out. Yet there is no real evolution of how we got todays R&B and one gets a sense that more time was spent putting together the early stuff than the most recent stuff (currently the biggest selling genre in the name of Beyonce and Justin Timberlake). Case in point is the absence of MJ's Billie Jean: a mystery! So if you're an R&B you'll be pleased with Mary J blige's appearance but gobsmacked as too why there is no Salt N Pepa nor TLC. Hopefully it was a clearance problem and nothing more than that. That no doubt ... Read More:

Soul Satisfaction 2 - The Motown Connection

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date August 06, 2001
The Soul Satisfaction series has been put together by club soul DJ from These Old Shoes, Jo Wallace, and, after the first multi-label compilation, has settled on the Motown group of labels for scrutiny, each providing a smorgasbord of often overlooked but always previously available tracks from the first decade or so of the label's history, presented in broadly chronological order.

On SoulSatisfaction 02 Motown is shown to progress from the early R&B of the Marvelettes and Carolyn Crawford, through the classic mid-to-late sixties heyday era of Martha and the Vandellas, the Miracles, Stevie Wonder and the Four Tops and onward to the more AOR sounds of the seventies with Edwin Starr, Eddie Kendricks and Marvin Gaye. This foot-tapping ... Read More:

The Story of Brunswick: The Classic Sound of Chicago Soul

CD-Charts > Music > Northern Soul
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 21, 2002
Great compilation covering the years 1957 (Jackie Wilson's fantastic "Reet Petite") to 1975 (The Chi-Lites "You Don't Have To Go")

The musical genres covered range from early R'n'B, big band jazz, bluesy rock, pop-soul, out and out disco, sweet soul & funky stuff.

Many will know of Lionel Hampton (jazz vibes player from the big band era) Little Richard & Count Basie but may be surprised to see them on what became known as a 'soul music' label.

More obvious artists include Gene Chandler with his catchy "Nothing Can Stop Me" and his distinctive voice and Jackie Wilson's classic "Higher & Higher" and "Sweetest Feeling"

Barbara Acklin contributes several nice 'pop soul' tracks such as "Am ... Read More:
