KFRC 99.7FM - Motown, Soul & Rock 'N Roll: Soul

by Various Artists

I sort of envy anyone who likes this kind of music but isn't overly or greatly familiar with it (as I am). While I have enjoyed buying & collecting all of the music on this CD over a period of many years (I have the Stereo LP by Arthur Conley, for example) while this is a terrific value even if you only need one or a few of these titles, especially at the "Cyber Sale" price of $2.38, I'm mainly typing this as there's a mix-up with the review - only ONE title is from a Motown related label: "Cruisin.'" While this is a great recording, four percent of the selections (one out of 25) doesn't qualify this as a collection dedicated to Motown. For example, while Gladys Knight was - for a time - on a Motown related label, she recorded for several labels, and "The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me" - while an exceptional recording - was released on Buddah. Great CD; not so great review.
