| | Classic 70S Soul, Vol. 1 CD
Like its Classic 60s Soul, Vol. 1 companion piece, BMG Special Products' Classic 70s Soul, Vol. 1 is a fairly entertaining sampler of familiar hits and cult singles from the decade. Although the song selection appears random, the ten-track compilation does have a number of good moments, such as the Spinners' "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love," George McCrae's "Rock Your Baby," Gladys Knight & the Pips' "On and On," the Main Ingredient's "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely," the Moments' "Love on a Two Way Street," Sylvia's "Pillow Talk," the Friends of Distinction's "Love Me or Let Me Be Lonely," and the Chi-Lites' "A Letter to Myself." Though this collection seems to have been compiled with little rhyme or reason, you can't argue with the quality of the music on board. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Classic 70S Soul, Vol. 1 Music Classic 70S Soul, Vol. 1 Songs | 1. | Could It Be I'm Falling in Love - The Spinners |

Classic 70S Soul, Vol. 1
$8.19 The Spinners were rivaled only by the O'Jays as the greatest Philly soul group, and for that matter the greatest vocal group of the '70s. For listeners who don't want to dig as deeply as the excellent double-CD anthology One of a Kind Love Affair, Rhino's The Very Best of the Spinners is a stellar single-disc career summary that offers a concentrated dose of the group's sweet soul magic. It also serves as a primer on the best work of Thom Bell, Philly soul's "other" great producer besides the legendary Gamble & Huff team. Incredibly, every one of the 16 tracks here -- culled ...

Classic 70S Soul, Vol. 1
$10.59 Black Eyed Peas, the hip-hop crossover juggernaut that propelled singer Fergie and producer Will.I.Am to superstardom, have, since 2003's ELEPHUNK, been audaciously plugging away at their bombastic but lighthearted style of rap-cum-dance pop--an effort that has translated to a run of successful chart-topping singles including "My Humps," "Pump It," and "Don't Phunk with My Heart." Eager to follow up on the platinum-selling success of 2005's ...

| | Leona Lewis Echo CD (2009)
Classic 70S Soul, Vol. 1
$11.18 The goal of Leona Lewis' 2007 debut, Spirit, was to prove that an X Factor winner could be a phenomenon not just in the U.K., but in the rest of the world. The goal of her second album, 2009's Echo, is to prove that success was no fluke, to build upon "Bleeding Love" and turn Lewis into an actual diva. Certainly, Echo in any of its incarnations -- its song listings are tailored for individual markets, with the U.K. getting a cover of Oasis' "Stop Crying Your Heart Out," while the U.S. gets a second song co-written by Justin Timberlake -- uses the chilly, synthesized "Bleeding Love" as its foundation, creating a sheet of sound equal parts Euro-pop and modern American R&B. As opposed to the often-stuffy Spirit, this is proudly modern, and if the sounds emanating from the two sides of the Atlantic might seem to be aesthetically opposed, they're both producer-driven music constructed layer by layer from rhythm to the vocal, where the overall sound matters more than what's being sung. Which isn't to say that Lewis doesn't sing the hell out of the songs on Echo: she has an uncanny gift for hitting impossible notes without seeming as if she's grandstanding. In fact, there's nary an ounce of diva in Lewis, she seems to enjoy singing for the sake of it, which helps her out on an album like Echo, where the melodies are elliptical, not catchy, designed to showcase range, not to stick in the head ...
| | Angelo & Veronica Not Enough CD (1996)
Classic 70S Soul, Vol. 1
$7.69 Not Enough isn't a bad album. It's not a particularly good album either. Angelo & Veronica clearly aren't in it for the music, though. Every track focuses on one thing -- the message. They don't leave any doubt in the listener's mind that they intend to minister through their music, not simply entertain. That said, this is an album, and the music matters. It's not spectacular. The first six tracks are basically all the same; only the words change. Things improve dramatically, starting with "Prayer Is the Answer" through the rest of the album. All in all, if you're looking for a message, this is the album for you. If you're looking ...
