The sound of soul music / rhythm and blues has been a major part of the rock & roll and pop music era since the 1950s and carries on today with million selling artists well into the 2000s. The magical time for the r & b groups to dominate the charts was the 60s, 70s and 80s when hit after hit could be heard from The Spinners, Stylistics, Chi-Lites, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, The Miracles and more. This was the Golden Era of R & B music and brought us some of the most cherished songs that live on today in collections like this. Now classic hits like You Make Me Feel Brand New , If You Don t Know Me By Now , Could It Be I m Falling in Love and solo artists like Marvin Gaye s Sexual Healing , Ben E. Kings Stand By Me and Al Wilson s Show and Tell are all gathered together in this specially priced collection of 36 of the biggest selling and favorite soul memories. All selections are live concert renditions or new studio recordings.

Truly an amazing "Best of R&B HITS"
This is a very rare CD. Every artist and group on these 3 disc are a "LIVE" recording of their hit or hits. Truly an amazing "Best of R&B HITS".

Steer Clear of This One
This is 3 discs full of crap! I was so excited when I initially pressed "play", only to be disappointed one track after the next. Who's idea was this anyway? None of the songs are the versions we've all grown to love. VERY misleading. :-(

just not feelin the songs
It sounds like everything is at a concert or something. I must of miss that about the songs...concert songs or something...I guess its ok, but it did not impress me the first time I listened to the cd's. I'll give it another try though...

Tribute Album
Came within the time expected, and although it was bought as used, it was operationally just as good as a new CD. The only bummer was that I wasn't expecting a "Tribute" album. I don't recall seeing that being mentioned anywhere. I love the songs, but prefer the original cuts. Hearing some of the old folks still tryin' to hit those high notes is sad and painful sometimes... Lol! Was nice to hear Teddy Pendergrass again, even if the accident affected his diaphram. Bittersweet.

Cheated
Was very angry that I was lead to believe these songs were by original artists. You can't FAKE good music. My money was taken and I was cheated out of artist's music I love.

music
most of the songs don't sound so good, because they are live recordings, but if you love this era of music, it won't bother you.
