 (1 Customer Review)
Is there no stopping James Brown? 33 years after the recording of his legendary 1962 performance at the Apollo Theater, Mr. Dynamite returned to tear the roof off the same venue with this incendiary 19-track set. Backed by the Soul Generals, a crack group of musicians that lends horns, voices, and full-throttle instrumental backing, Brown sets out to rock the joint and take no prisoners.
The track list reads like the soul and R&B hit parade of the last 40 years. Brown revisits "Try Me," "Please, Please, Please," "(I Got You) I Feel Good," "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag," "Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine," "Get Up Offa That Thing," and other signature numbers of unspeakable, stupendous funkability. Were this a case of Brown revisiting old glories and resting on his laurels, it would be easy to dismiss. But the Godfather churns it out harder than ever, making this performance as riveting as the 1962 set. If this show is any indication, the hardest working man in show business shows no intention of retiring.

Entertainment Weekly (7/21/95, p.64) - "...even at his most run-of-the-mill, he's a miracle of modern music. After all, how many 67-year-old men do you know who can work a Harlem crowd into a frenzy singing songs like `Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine'?" - Rating: B+

Live At The Apollo 1995 Music Live At The Apollo 1995 Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)  Enjoyable but not the "event" it should have been
If you love the first three editions you might *like* this one. Except for "Make It Funky 2000", "Hot Pants", and "Georgialina", there's not much excitement. The '62, '67, and '71 releases were perhaps overrated to some extent, but they captured one of the most incredible acts in history.
What was needed here was a look-back at "Lost Someone", "Bring It Up", "Lickin' Stick - Lickin' Stick", "Money Won't Change You", and others which would have ensured at least a near-classic.

Live At The Apollo 1995 album
 $15.15 
Shakira's brand new English album She Wolf is an uptempo pop album. It is all about synthesizers and electronic concepts, all mixed with the world sounds that we are used to from Shakira.. sounds from countries like India, the Middle East and her home country of Colombia. She Wolf features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. The title track "She-Wolf " boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey/ electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute). Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, "Loba", two weeks before the English single is launched.
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. ...

Live At The Apollo 1995 album
$14.64 
"Russian Roulette," released weeks prior to Rated R, just hinted at Rihanna's sudden desire to provoke. Even with the realization that it is metaphorical, the song startles with its hesitant gasps, spinning cylinders, and verses that are glacially paced, where a cold piano line and the slight inflections in Rihanna's voice are front and center. And then there's an audible shudder followed by a discharged bullet -- the abrupt end to one of Rated R's most restrained moments. It's not the only instance where Rihanna's rise in fame, combined with being the victim in the decade's highest-profile felonious assault, added up to a perfect-storm scenario for a creative overhaul. Rated R is more like Good Girl Gone Evil, or Abused Girl Full of Vengeful Rage, not Good Girl Gone Bad, where the only casualties were some dishes. The closest the set gets to upbeat pop is "Rude Boy," and by any standard it is stern; needless to say, there is quite a difference between "Can you get it up?" and "You can stand under my umbrella."
