| | Billy Preston 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection CD Billy Preston Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
Recorded between 1972 and 1979. Includes liner notes by Bill DeYoung.
This is part of A & M's "20th Century Masters The Millenium Collection" series.
After his work with the Beatles on LET IT BE brought his name to the wider rock audience, R&B stalwart Billy Preston became one of the hottest names in 1970s funk. Like Stevie Wonder, Parliament's Bernie Worrell, and Traffic's Steve Winwood, Preston's core instrument was the electric organ, but he also experimented enthusiastically with synthesizers on instrumental hits such as "Outa-Space," "Struttin,'" and "Space Race." Those giddy, playful funk-pop tunes are a delightful addition to Preston's entry in the budget-line 20TH CENTURY MASTERS: THE MILLENNIUM COLLECTION series, but the meat of the 11-track collection is in the classic funky hits "Nothing From Nothing," "That's The Way God Planned It," and "Will It Go Round In Circles."
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection songs
$9.69
Nights Are Forever was the breakthrough album for Dan Seals and John Coley after some sincere and excellent work on A&M Records in the early '70s. Two of their biggest hits were the title track and the beautiful "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight." Those songs are a good indication of the fine performances this 1976 album contains. The duo's originals like "Long Way Home" and the Dan Fogelberg-ish "Westward Wind" could have been hits as well displaying superb musicianship and delicate vocals. This album is very much a companion piece to the Parker McGee album recorded around the same time, on the same label, with pretty much the same musicians. Producer Kyle Lehning has the sounds so similar a survey panel would probably not be ...
| | England Dan Dr. Heckle & Mr. Jive CD (1978) Reissued
20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection album
$9.55
The sincerity of their days on A&M Records has turned to total formula by the time Dr. Heckyl & Mr. Jive came around -- and Robert Louis Stevenson expert, author Ray McNally, makes it clear in his book on Mr. Hyde that the true pronunciation is Dr. Jeekill (as in, "I Kill and Hide"). It is quite a paradox that this justified attack on the Hollywood system uses the mispronunciation of this famous title which Hollywood forced upon the world. Were these singers that clever to have slipped this in as a sly parody? Probably not -- because the sentiment in the poem here is right on, but the execution of the title track, is as musically contrived as it sounds. This album shows the worst, and the best, of this productive duo. "Running After You" falls into the former category, but their hit rendition of the ...
| | England Dan Some Things Don't Come Easy CD (1978)
20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection CD music
$9.69
If Dowdy Ferry Road was their bleak moment in song, Some Things Don't Come Easy is the calm before the storm, a port prior to the schizophrenia that was Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive. Wandering songs like "Who's Lonely Now" are indicative of this album, and it is only one of two titles the singers pen together. They look alike on the smiling, happy airbrushed front cover, but you can almost see sadness in their eyes on the photos on the back. It must have been an intense period as they came up with yet another Top Ten hit, their fifth of six. "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again" was written by Jeffrie Comanor and is far and away the best song on the album. This duo knew how to interpret; they were fantastic at it. The hit single is defined, the production is compact, and the loose ends that make up all the other songs on Some Things Don't Come Easy pale in comparison. The song's hook and instrumentation are ...
