| | Best Of One Way CD (1996)
Essential O'Jays CD music
$8.09 
Recorded between 1976 and 1987. Includes liner notes by David Nathan.
Originally, One Way came out as Al Hudson & the Soul Partners and recorded a few interesting, but unsuccessful albums for ABC Records. They were then, and are now, a self-contained act, though the original name suggests a standup vocal group. Essentially, Midwest wonders, they never crossed over, and never got as big as predicted on the R&B circuit, despite having a devastating live act. They should have added their bassist/falsetto tenor, ...
| | Very Best Of The Spinners CD (1993)
Essential O'Jays music CDs
$7.99 
The Spinners were rivaled only by the O'Jays as the greatest Philly soul group, and for that matter the greatest vocal group of the '70s. For listeners who don't want to dig as deeply as the excellent double-CD anthology One of a Kind Love Affair, Rhino's The Very Best of the Spinners is a stellar single-disc career summary that offers a concentrated dose of the group's sweet soul magic. It also serves as a primer on the best work of Thom Bell, Philly soul's "other" great producer besides the legendary Gamble & Huff team. Incredibly, every one of the 16 tracks here -- culled from 1970-1980 -- reached the R&B Top Ten, and half went all the way to number one on either the pop or R&B lists. As this collection demonstrates, the Spinners' massive popularity was well-deserved. Built around the magnetic leads of Philippe Wynne, their records were tastefully, elegantly romantic, full of adult heartache and longings as complex as the group's shifting harmonies. The compilers also license the pre-Wynne Motown hit "It's a Shame," co-written by Stevie Wonder, and include two disco-tinged medleys that returned the Spinners to the Top Ten for the last time at the close of the '70s. But the Wynne material is really the backbone ...
| | Johnny Otis 1945-1947 CD (2002)
Essential O'Jays songs
$18.05
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and context for his more well-known Savoy material, and indeed for everything this amazing person accomplished during the second half of the 20th century. Otis' first act as a recording bandleader was to borrow Jimmy Rushing from Count Basie! Rushing sounds right at home with this group, which included ...

Essential O'Jays album

Jamie/Guyden Dist. Co. celebrates its 50th anniversary by celebrating the artists and musicians of its past with contemporary remixes by Paul Simpson and Tom Moulton of the labels' classic hits like "Yes, I'm Ready" by Barbara Mason and "Waitin for the Rain" by the Fantastic Johnny C.

Tom Moulton adds his magic touch to "Waitin for the Rain" and "Yes, I'm Ready." The ...

| | Chris Demarco Lost And Found CD (2008)
Essential O'Jays CD music
$13.15
Chris DeMarco began his career in music as a much sought-after musician and front man, having shared the stage and played with a virtual who's who of super-musicians of the 70's and 80's. After deciding to leave behind the glare of the bright lights of Hollywood and the ever-pulsing New York music scene, DeMarco settled into the cadence of more laid back climes that finds him at his most serene self. His latest release Lost and Found - his first on his self-distributed label Dreamco Music, finds him in fine form as he treats us to a volume of classic fare meant to please the true Rock aficionados among us. Lost and Found is an aptly named album that weaves together DeMarco's past and present musical contributions into one cohesive work, featuring the likes of Dick Wagner (Alice Cooper Band), Tommy Talton (Gregg Allman Band and Cowboy), Ken Mazur (Robert Palmer Band), and Barry Richman (Lynard Skynard) on Guitar; Billy Langley on Keyboards; Rhys Clark (Billy Joel Band and Freddy Fender Band) playing drums; and ...
