Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Great CD with correct versions & artist
This is the only CD I could find some of the"Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" songs included in their 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll. It had original artist with their original versions, not later redone ones.

5 stars A Fantastic Collection
This was one of my first "Golden Age of Gospel" CD experiences as I am an ardent 1930s - 1960s Blues addict. Wow! It is from this CD that my library of Black Gospel Quartet, and Golden Age of Gospel music has grown. Every track is timeless and demands that the listener venture out and obtain more of that performer's music. If this is your first CD of this genre, you had be prepaired to sell the farm to get more, and more, and more! Cheers, TopCat James

New Breed
M C Breed New Breed CD  (1993)

Greatest Gospel Gems songs
CD $16.45  Top 500
MC Breed may have synthesized East and West Coast styles on his debut album, partly explaining why it sounded so novel for its time, but by the time his third album, The New Breed, hit the streets in 1993 it was apparent: the Midwestern native had adopted the West Coast sound, which was at its zenith of popularity at the time. Dr. Dre's The Chronic was bumping everywhere in 1993, even on the East Coast, so it isn't too surprising that Breed, an artist who's never too far behind the latest trends, headed West and hooked up with D.O.C., the writer/producer who had quietly helped make Dre's The Chronic the success that it was. Furthermore, Breed also hooked up with Warren G, who produced some of this album, and a young and delightfully unthuggish 2 Pac, who helped make "Gotta Get Mine," this album's hit single, a career highlight for the former Midwestern and soon to be Dirty South rapper. In fact, Breed's decision to head West for this album proved to be a wise decision. His next album, Funkafied, peaked at number nine on Billboard's R&B chart without little to no commercial airplay, a testament to just how impressed the public was by this album. ~ Jason Birchmeier MC ...
