| | Sweet Soul Music: 1963 CD - Import
The third volume of the Bear Family's expansive 10-disc SWEET SOUL MUSIC series is arguably one of the highlights of the set. A seminal year, 1963 saw the release of a wealth of singles that would come to define the sound of `60s soul. Garnett Mimms' slow burning "Cry Baby" laid the groundwork for countless gospel-inflected deep soul ballads, while Martha Reeves and the Vandellas' driving "Heat Wave" was one of Motown's most notable early triumphs.
2008 release, an installment in this exciting R&B series from the Bear Family label, a sequel of sorts to their highly acclaimed, award-winning series Blowin' The Fuse. Each installment contains all the greatest and most influential hits as R&B became Soul in the 1960s! It was a turbulent era. Over the course of ten years, R&B became Soul, and Soul became the soundtrack to a social revolution known throughout the world as Civil Rights. Some record companies have compiled anthologies from their own vaults but Bear Family has gone to every record company in search of the greatest music and the finest sound quality. 30 Scorching Classics From 1963 features cuts from Rufus Thomas, Bobby Bland, Mary Wells, The Miracles, Otis Redding and many more. Bear Family.

Pat Boone's installment in the enjoyable Bear Family series of uptempo rock & roll doesn't include all of his big early hits -- many of which were ballads -- but it has a lot of his famed (or infamous) R&B covers. Boone, with his nice-guy looks, English degree, and precise diction, would've been a natural for the vocal pop game, but he chose the pop end of rock & roll to make his mark -- and more than a few R&B should've-been-hits to undercut. Fans may argue that his versions increased the popularity of the originals (and the purses of the composers and publishers), but it's hard to argue with the vicious quality of Boone's A&R handlers, who chose their material carefully by studying songs that were climbing the R&B charts and quickly recording covers. Boone himself was a solid singer, and would've been perfectly suited to the type of Mitch Miller material that his vocal forebears Guy Mitchell and Frankie Laine were churning out, but he missed the mark on many of these covers, even in a pop sense. Proof positive comes in the track titles, such as changing "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee-O-Dee" to "Havin' Fun Spo-Dee-O-Dee" and even arguing (unsuccessfully, in this case) that his cover of Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame" should be retitled "Isn't That a Shame" (English major that he was). A raft of 34 clean-cut, uptempo, pop-based rock & roll songs makes for a fun addition to any early rock jukebox (assuming it's on shuffle), but he's a little too stiff here, and a Pat Boone compilation without "Love Letters in the Sand," "April Love," and "Don't Forbid Me" is a hard one to recommend. ~ John Bush
Much criticised and unfairly maligned by rock n roll 'authorities' over the years, Boone's rock 'n' roll catalogue was supremely popular in the U.S., the U.K., Germany and the rest of the world at the height of the rock 'n' roll era! In 1955 and '56, Boo
