The Moments charted regularly on the R&B charts and copped the number three position on the pop charts with "Love on a Two-Way Street." Best of the Moments: Love on a Two-Way Street [Rhino 1996] chronicles a group that underwent some changes before Billy Brown, Al Goodman, and Harry Ray meshed and made the Moments a popular R&B entity. Die-hard fans will notice two omissions: "Girl I'm Going to Miss You," a floater sung by Brown in an aching falsetto, and "Somebody Loves You Baby," the B-side of "Sunday." The inclusion of "I'm Willing" by Harry Ray (one of his solo releases), and an extended version of "Sexy Mama" soften the oversights. Incidentally, Billy Brown sings all the parts on "I Do" -- the lead, the background, and the spoken parts. Essential listening; don't hesitate to add this one to your shopping cart. ~ Andrew Hamilton
