| | Best Of Kool & The Gang: The Milennium Collection CD Kool & The Gang Discography of CDs
Digitally remastered by Suha Gur (Universal Music Studios East).
Kool & the Gang's 20th Century Masters collection gathers a bare-bones assemblage of their hits, from the funky "Hollywood Swinging," "Get Down on It," and "Jungle Boogie" to their later, smoother R&B singles like "Fresh," "Cherish," and "Joanna." Though it's not an extensive compilation, the album does provide a decent sampling of the band's work. ~ Heather Phares

Best Of Kool & The Gang: The Milennium Collection CD music
$9.59 It's almost hard to believe now that for the first decade of his career Bruce Springsteen was a gigantic cult artist; a musician who could sell a couple of million records and fill hockey rinks, but who was was no more likely than Elvis Costello to get airplay on pop radio.
BORN IN THE USA was the album on which he flexed his muscles (literally) and changed all that. With song titles and choruses that seemed to reflect all that was good and strong in America, belying songs that were about everything that was going wrong, BORN IN THE USA was one of those cultural events that resonated with just about everybody--from both ...

By 1977 England was in the throes of punk, a musical revolution that held hugely successful "dinosaur" rock groups in contempt. So ANIMALS, the album Pink Floyd released that year, found the band as musically stripped down as they'd ever ...

| | Jools Holland Small World Big Band Friends V.3 CD (2004) (Import) England; United Kingdom
Best Of Kool & The Gang: The Milennium Collection songs
$10.49 Eclectic Brit pianist Jools Holland (a member of Squeeze in their early days) is still at it, finding novel and fun ways to bring sounds of pop music past--rock, jump blues, rockabilly, swing, whatever--into the present with a bang. In 2003, Holland found it was a SMALL WORLD... after all, and decided on a third volume of this series. With guest singers including Buddy Guy, Smokey Robinson, Solomon Burke, Eric Clapton, Ron Wood, Nick Cave, jazz singer Jimmy Scott, and Prince Buster working out on some choice oldies, this set is a party waiting to happen.
It's the third go-round for Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, and by now their formula is familiar -- Holland and his large band, anchored by his former Squeeze bandmate Gilson Lavis, invite a bunch of musicians to sing or play in front of them, and they run through a bunch of cheerful blues and old-time rock & roll-based songs. Some of these are covers and some of these are new tunes, but they all feel like revivals, since Holland and guests play them that way. These are classy, well-performed amalgams of big-band R&B and soul, spiced with hints of ska, mainstream pop, and rockabilly, which ...
