| | Soul Classics Vol. 5 CD
Though it's shorter than most of the volumes in the series, oddly enough Soul Classics, Vol. 5 offers a more diverse range of sounds, spanning upbeat soul like King Floyd's "Groove Me," danceable tracks such as Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up." and KC & the Sunshine Band's "I Get Lifted," as well as smoother tracks like Mandrill's "You Can Get It (Suzie Caesar)." Though the album's cuts, which include work by Leon Huff and Archie Bell & the Drells, are pretty solid, the collection's overall length is too short to recommend it to anyone but the most casual fans of classic soul. ~ Heather Phares

Soul Classics Vol. 5 album
 $8.04   
Within a couple years, Canadian teenager Justin Bieber went from covering Usher on YouTube to working with Usher. An internet sensation from his renditions of several pop and pop-oriented R&B hits, he was still only 15 years old when he released this, his first album -- though it's more like an EP since it is contains only seven songs that are 25 minutes in duration. Given ...
| | Jay-Z The Blueprint 3 CD (2009)
Soul Classics Vol. 5 CD music
$15.65  
On THE BLUEPRINT 3, still unretired Jay-Z announces "the only rapper to rewrite history without a pen." It's a standard Jigga boast, but the Brooklyn icon has earned the bragging by backing it up, particularly on his gold-label, top-shelf BLUEPRINT series. Ever-ready for battle, Jay-Z takes on autotune, crossover radio, and many other hip-hop concerns with the gloriously jagged rap elan for which he's become known.
When Jay-Z first made a series out of his best album, 2001's The Blueprint, it became a game of high expectations. The first volume saw Jay-Z as vital as he'd ever been, storming back to the hardcore after a few years of commercial success. THE BLUEPRINT 2 took a different tack, with guest shots to compliment his ...

"Guilty Conscience" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By Duo Or Group.
"Forgot About Dre" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group. DR. DRE 2001 was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "The Next Episode" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
"Still D.R.E." was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
With 2001, Dr. Dre has managed to do the seemingly impossible: resurface yet again after a five-year disappearance from the rap game, and shatter all expectations. The first two tracks lull the listener into thinking this is going to be a mellow, G-funk outing, but when the piano loop and beat commence in "Still D.R.E.," it's obvious Dre is still light years ahead of the rest. The seemingly disparate styles of guest artists MC Ren, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem are all unified by Dre's singular musical vision.
What makes this record stand out from any other gangsta rap recording before it, however, are the flashes of brutal honesty that pepper the lyrics ("What's the Difference"). Something about Dre's persona and delivery softens his often ...
| | Isley Brothers Love Songs CD (2001)
Soul Classics Vol. 5 album
$6.25 
Originally released on T-Neck Records. Includes liner notes by Virginia Prescott.
Along the way to being a bridge throughout the history of R&B throughout the latter half of the 20th century, the Isley Brothers also directly helped shape facets of the genre along the way. Starting in the '70s, eldest Isley siblings Ronald, Rudolph, and the late O'Kelly carved out a soundtrack for silk-sheet relations along with fellow love lords Barry White and Marvin Gaye.
This collection hinges on Ronald Isley's creamy falsetto; it's easy to mistake him for Al Green, particularly against a background of swirling keyboards on "For the Love of You (Parts 1 & 2)" and the crying guitar of "Voyage to Atlantis." As usual, the Isleys include unlikely artistic interpretations (Todd ...

| | Moody Scott Bustin Out Of The Ghetto CD (2006)
Soul Classics Vol. 5 CD music
$13.25
Moody Scott was reared on gospel music but became entranced by R&B in the '60s. Despite his religious mother's objections, he eventually headed in that musical direction, bringing with him the vocal power he had developed during a childhood spent singing in church. Some of the early tracks represented on this collection were recorded in Nashville for the Sound Stage Seven, Luna and Seventy-Seven labels and are characterized by a vintage Nashville R&B flavor -- the title track was a regional hit. But by the turn of the decade Scott's sound was becoming more and more influenced by early funk, and that funk/R&B fusion is what dominates the program on the remainder of Bustin out of the Ghetto. There's lots of great stuff here, but there is also a bit too much filler and a few too many questionable inclusions -- his lackluster version of "Groovin'" is one example ...
