After two commercially unsuccessful albums for Warner Brothers, LaBelle moved to Epic in 1974 to record the brash, deeply funky NIGHTBIRDS. Helmed by famed New Orleans producer, arranger, and hit-maker Allen Toussaint, NIGHTBIRDS mixes sassy New Orleans R&B with hard-driving funk and LaBelle's soulful, often eclectic, take on girl-group dynamics. On the strength of Toussaint's horn-driven arrangements and the album's runaway smash single, "Lady Marmalade" (with its immediately memorable French refrain), NIGHTBIRDS shot up the charts.

The remainder of the album measures up to the standard set by its single, especially on the sly groover "Don't Bring Me Down" and the thumping "Are You Lonely?" Patti LaBelle's agile soprano alternately soars and seeks out gritty corners, while Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash providing airtight, in-your-face harmonies. The glam-inflected "Space Children" and "Nightbird," a theatrical ballad, may date the album a bit, but that is part of the fun of this classic, good-time funk-fest.

Rolling Stone (4/13/00, p.132) - 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...an almost mechanical underpinning of robot funk and juke-joint piano janglings....showcasing Patti at her sassiest and most elastic..."

This 1995 reissue of THE WHO SELL OUT includes songs and jingles not available on the original version. Originally released on Track (612002/613002). Released in the U.S. on Decca (4950/74950) in 1968. Only three albums into its recording career, the Who had already begun to distance itself from its proletarian R&B beginnings. Here, songwriter Pete Townshend follows up on the rock-opera idea he had introduced on ...

CD $6.39  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
The album on which Chicago fully dropped its early jazz-rock roots and went strictly pop, 1973's CHICAGO VI features two of the band's finest singles, the romantic "Just You 'N' Me" and the uplifting "Feelin' Stronger Every Day," along with a solid set of album tracks. Although Robert Lamm's solo piano ballad "Critics' Choice" reveals a thin skin concerning the group's poor reviews from the hipster press, Terry Kath's "What's This World Coming To" and Lamm's dreamy "Something in This City Changes People" are nearly as strong as the big hits. Elsewhere, the country-fried "In Terms of Two" proves an interesting stylistic detour. Chicago has always been a definitive singles ...

Grand Funk's third studio album, 1970's CLOSER TO HOME, was the album that catapulted the band into the big time and placed it at the top of the hard rock heap. One of GFR's most consistent albums, the most recognizable song remains the title track, which deals with the nightmare of getting drafted into the then still raging Vietnam war. Add to it such other solid rocking ditties as "Sin's a Good Man's Brother," "Nothing is the Same," and "Hooked on Love," and you have arguably Grand Funk's finest album. This ...

Soul Position 8 Million Stories CD  (2003)

Nightbirds (Millenium) CD music
CD $13.09  5 stars Audio Samples
Although Columbus, Ohio's Soul Position had released a five-song EP the previous year, 2003's 8 Million Stories is the group's first full-length record, and is definitely a strong debut. Blueprint's songs all tell stories of people and the situations they might find themselves in. The events can be humorous (as in "The Jerry Springer Episode"), critical ("Look of Pain," "F*ckajob"), or just explanatory ("Run," "Right Place, Wrong Time"), but they're always very detailed and good at capturing listeners' attention. Yes, Blueprint can be overly dramatic (almost all of his serious tales end in death or destruction of some sort), but this can be excused by the fact that he is very sincerely trying to point out and comment on problems in American society. And anyway, he lightens the mood of the record by inserting more playful songs between the heavier ones, like the three-part "Candyland," in which he reminisces on growing up in the '80s, alphabetically listing toys and TV shows (how many hip-hop albums reference popples?) in "Part 1," high school activities (that's a loose definition, as both "Coca-Cola jackets" and "feeling girls' booties" are included) in "Part 2," and types of candy in "Part 3," all over a lush beat. And it's no mistaking that RJD2's the one making the music for Soul Position. 8 Million Stories sounds like it was taken right from the Dead Ringer sessions, complete with descending, melancholic guitar and piano lines, and funk-inspired rhythms. This all goes well with Blueprint's delivery, which incorporates a cadenced, almost spoken word style that RJD2 works to highlight with his use of both melodic instrumentation and silence. It's a successful combination, with very few things that fall short ("Run" may be the sole example of a song that doesn't quite make it, with an overuse of the title word that just becomes boring, even though the subject matter -- escape, avoidance, and fear -- is fairly provocative and interesting). 8 Million Stories is quite promising, and definitely puts Soul Position on track to be another great producer/MC combination. ~ Marisa Brown As is the case with many albums by hip-hop groups in which ...

The Godfather of Soul has several greatest-hits compilation to his name, and with good reason. Anyone with over four decades of solid soul and funk classics most definitely has enough to fill volume after volume of greatest-hits and best-of releases. While this isn't necessarily a definitive best-of collection, it most certainly covers the majority of his earliest (and some would say best) works. Most of these songs are already in the die-hard fan's collection, so this release would serve the newcomer or casual fan best. ~ Rob Theakston A budget-line two-fer featuring two of James Brown's live performances from the 1980s, Goldenlane's ...
