| | First Choice Philly Golden Classics CD First Choice Discography of CDs
Philly Golden Classics doesn't have the breadth of the 23-track, double-disc Greatest Hits -- and it cuts off at 1976, before some of the disco-era hits for Salsoul -- but it does go a little deeper into the group's earlier years. All of the early charting singles -- "Armed and Extremely Dangerous," "Smarty Pants," "Guilty," "Newsy Neighbors," "The Player," and "Love Freeze" -- are included, in addition to numerous album cuts that deserved better the first time around. The lack of disco smashes "Dr. Love," "Let No Man Put Asunder," "Double Cross," and "Love Thang" makes the set far from definitive, but soul aficionados who are allergic to four-four rhythms and wide-open arrangements (even if First Choice's particular form of disco was soulful through and through) should be adequately pleased. ~ Andy Kellman
First Choice: Rochelle Fleming, Annette Guest, Joyce Jones.

The Main Ingredient were one of the few vocal groups able to be both classy and soulful. Cuba Gooding (father of talented film actor Cuba Gooding, Jr.) had the ability to sound earnest and anguished while singing sentimental, even sappy lyrics. Their polished harmonies made them mid-'70s romantic idols, ...
| | Very Best Of The Originals CD (1999)
Philly Golden Classics
$6.99
All tracks have been digitally remastered using 24-bit technology.
The Very Best of the Originals includes their hits from the late '60s through the mid-'70s, along with some LP cuts, B-sides, and unreleased tracks. The first six songs were produced or co-produced by Marvin Gaye in 1969 and 1970 (including the hits "Baby I'm for Real" and "The Bells"). These have been sometimes cited as forerunners to his What's Going On album, but it would be wrong to view them as a What's Going On supplement. They're in much more of a lush, group vocal, sweet soul style, although some traces of ideas Gaye would play with in the early '70s are present, particularly in the way the background voices weave around each other. The one previously unreleased Gaye production, "Just to Keep You Satisfied," would be reworked, with the same backing track and backing vocals but with a different lead vocal and lyrics, on Gaye's Let's Get It On album. The rest of the tracks are largely in a competent sweet soul mold, also including "Suspicion," a previously unreleased Holland-Dozier-Holland number from 1966 with a more up-tempo sound; "Game Called Love," a 1974 cut composed and produced by Stevie Wonder; and "Down to Love Town," a 1976 disco smash. ~ Richie Unterberger

The "sweet" soul trio of Harry Ray, Al Goodman, and Billy Brown scored several hits for All Platinum/Stang Records in the early '70s as the Moments before they became Ray, Goodman & Brown in 1978.
