| | Only The Strong Survive: The Best Of Billy Paul CD - Import Billy Paul Discography of CDs
UK compilation for artist best known for the worldwide hit 'Me & Mrs. Jones' highlights his sublime jazz & soul recordings for the Philadelphia International Records label. 20 tracks including 'Only The Strong Survive', 'Bring The Family Back', & 'Let 'Em In'. Music Club. 2004.
For those looking for "Me and Mrs. Jones," the 1972 number one hit by soul singer Billy Paul, this compilation will disappoint. The version included on Only the Strong Survive: The Best of Billy Paul was recorded live, and although it is a decent rendition, it lacks the lush Philadelphia International production of Leon Huff and Kenneth Gamble that helped make the original so special. The remaining 14 tracks are singles and album cuts from the '70s, including cover versions of Paul McCartney's "Let 'Em In," the Doobie Brothers' "Takin' It to the Streets," and David Soul's "Don't Give Up on Us." Inexplicably, Billy Paul's only other Top 20 chart entry, "Thanks for Saving My Life," has been excluded. ~ Al Campbell

The title of Boyz II Men's third consecutive covers album is only partially indicative. The love songs covered on this disc span several decades and styles, unlike Throwback (`70s and early-`80s funk and soul) and Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (self-explanatory), both of which were more focused thematically. What ties these songs together is that they are love songs, and nothing else. That early-`60s R&B (Sam Cooke's "Cupid"), late-`90s country (Lonestar's "Amazed"), and early-`80s rock (Journey's "Open Arms," a choice likely influenced by producer ...

Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath of her divorce and includes serious moments of self-confrontation like "Sober," fans needn't ...

Only The Strong Survive: The Best Of Billy Paul music CDs
$14.79
On the remarkably vulnerable "I Can't Quit," the second track on his sophomore release, TRAP MUZIK, T.I. observes "I'm this close to being a star and just this close to quitting." His 2001 debut, I'M SERIOUS, seemed a powerful can't-miss record with a title single featuring an ace turn by Beenie Man. While it didn't wholly miss, the single which should have been pumpin' around the world barely saw a lick of airplay, and while the album sold modestly, it didn't even approach the platinum level lesser talents achieved with ease.
No matter though, T.I.'s back with a vengeance on TRAP MUZIK, an appealing melange of subtle beats and easy flows which belie the Georgia rapper's vast lyrical intellect. While there are aspects of the Dirty South in T.I.'s style, his world and his style are distinctly his own--incredibly unself-conscious but confident, observational, insightful, rough, and raw. This odd mix is best represented in the starkly honest "Doin' My Job," a cry for tolerance noteworthy for its lack of either cliche or treacle. The following track, the sexually laced banger, "Let's Get Away," could easily descend into a morass of silliness, yet somehow manages to remain organic. Hopefully, T.I. will not miss success again with TRAP MUZIK, but either way, the record makes it clear ...
