    More than practically any other African musician, King Sunny Ade has enjoyed unparalleled longevity, both at home and with Western music fans. Born into Nigerian royalty (the "King" is not merely a courtesy title), he embarked upon his chosen career path early, incorporating traditional rhythms and percussion, chilled-out vocals, sinuous bass lines, and especially the wacked-out, psychedelic guitar of Bob Ohiri. During the '60s and '70s, Ade's mature sound slowly evolved; although he was years away from an international breakthrough, his trademark stylistic markers were already in place, hastening him toward historic doings. The bandleader's high, nasal voice, wreathed in talking drums and shakers, echoed by a call-and-response choir, reflected Yoruba folkways along with hints of Muslim and Christian religious and secular music. By now, Ade's songs had become longer and more subtle; many of his intricate, gradually unfolding sets of themes and variations were clocking in at twenty minutes-plus on record and over an hour live. As on Shanachie's excellent Best of the Classic Years (2003), these tunes, although unquestionably landmark recordings, have hardly been heard outside of the maestro's homeland. They constitute a crucial document of Ade's first flush of local fame, and if the sound quality is slightly over-resonant, it is also remarkably vivid and clear. --Christina Roden

    This collection brings together the early years of the King on stage. It is a testimony to the greatness of one of African foremost artists.

    5 out of 5 stars Bloody brilliant.......2006-12-12

    I can play this (both discs) over and over and not grow tired of listening...GLP has one of the most unique and gorgeous voices in all of music. this album is just haunting, esp. Stars 'n' Stripes and Crashing at Corona. this is not beach music, driving music, etc....it's serious turn off all the lights and draw the shades music

    5 out of 5 stars Corona Alona.......2004-06-13

    Wonderful collection, worth twice its retail value for "Crashing At Corona" alone (on disc 2). Beautiful melody, mysterious lyrics. Even after three dozen listens, it continues to shiver the spine. Enjoy.

    4 out of 5 stars This is "Happiness"........2004-04-27

    I'd imagine the majority of fans would have been happy with just a single disc hits album, but everything here is wonderful, and more is better right. Of course the first disc here is all the best, minus a song or three. It includes "Fuzzy", "Homespun", "Truly Truly", and probably their most popular song "Mockingbirds". I'm also glad it has "Honey Don't Think". The second disc is all b-sides and extras, and for the most part, nearly as good as the first disc. None of it really stands out to me yet, but it's all far from filler. As with any "Best Of" album, this is a great collection for the newcomer, and also should appeal to fans of the alt-country scene, etc.

    5 out of 5 stars A great introduction to a great songwriter.......2004-03-17

    Grant Lee Buffalo and frontman Grant Lee Phillips can definitely be regarded as one of the finest songwriters of Great American tunes. This "gem" of an album is a must have for any avid GLB enthusiast or anyone that appreciates a great collection of music.

    This album not only provides a well rounded collection of the great GLB rips like "Fuzzy", "Lone Star Song", and "Truly, Truly" but the group has also graciously given us a second disc of outstanding tunes that won't be found on their other albums, including a handful of acoustic versions.

    This cd set has it all and it delivers the best of the best. If you have never heard of these guys...definitely give them a listen...you won't be disappointed.

    5 out of 5 stars You helped with our 50th anniversary.......2006-03-23

    My husband and I have been married 50 years and our daughter wanted to make a DVD of our life and the music that we had. Our song when we were going together was "Young Love" by Sonny James. I was thrilled to death when we found it and she set it to our DVD with all the pictures. We used many of the songs as they were of our "era". Thank you so very much....it was fantastic.

    5 out of 5 stars Not quite titled correctly, but still nice to listen to.......2004-08-20

    As a couple of other reviewers state, this CD set has a couple of items that I wouldn't call "instrumental." One, Percy Faith/Felicia Sanders on "The Song from Moulin Rouge," happens to be one of my all-time favorites, and the other, Billy Vaughn/Ken Nordine on "The Shifting Whispering Sands," is a fiendishly hard to find piece, especially if you are looking for the whole thing (it ran about twice as long as a typical '50s hit!) so I have to forgive the producers for their lapses.



    Some of the songs on here overlap another CD I reviewed earlier, "Big Hits of the '50s," and I'd rather not have the overlap, but this is something hard to avoid these days. And it has some truly hard to find pieces (like the abovementioned "Shifting Whispering Sands," and the Dick Hyman version of "Moritat," which sounds totally different from the versions appearing under the name of "Mack the Knife"), so that even with that overlap, I'm glad I have both CDs in my collection.



    Anyone who likes the pre-rock'n'roll era's music is sure to find some favorites on here. There are a couple of pieces where I'd consider that the version on this CD set is not the top version (It has Ralph Marterie's version of "Skokiaan" rather than the Bulowayo Sweet Rhythms Band's, and certainly Les Baxter's is not the definitive version of "Unchained Melody" -- but if you are stressing instrumentals, Baxter's would be the one you'd select, of course). But even in those cases, the versions did make the charts as well as the top versions, so they can be accepted. And over all, this is a nice set to listen to.



    All in all, considering all the pieces I've mentioned, as well as the last Big Band pieces to chart (the '50s are certainly after the Big Band era, but Jimmy Dorsey had a hit with "So Rare" as late as the middle of the decade! And it's on this set.) This is a great collection.

    3 out of 5 stars It Ain't All Instrumentals.......2003-02-24

    The people who be this CD out,should look up the word INTRUMENTAL.
    If this word means singing. You have a CD set. Without the vocals this two CD set should have been out as a single CD.

    3 out of 5 stars It Ain't All Instrumentals.......2003-02-22

    Someone should tell the people who put this CD set to look up the word Instrumental. It does not mean singing.

    5 out of 5 stars once there were greenfields.......2002-01-18

    A truly amazing collection of wonderful music from the pre-rock days! This album has it all: Frank Chacksfields "Ebb tide" (1953), Nelson Riddle's Lisbon Antigua (#1 in 1956) and there's even the immortal, enchanting "April in Portugal" (#1 in 1955). Not to mention Percy Faith's "Delicado" - what a delicious toe-tapper it still is! Makes me go back to the days when really enjoyable music became big hits. OK, I'm pushing 60, so I'm prejudiced. But for a guy my age, this collection is priceless. If you're part of the post-war generation, don't hesitate, buy this CD. You won't regret it, instead, you will play it over and over. Yeah, it's true, they don't make hits like this anymore...

    Album Description

    Soul Satisfaction is the first neo-soul compilation to feature both high-profile artists alongside emerging cult favorites. It uses the term "nu-soul" to emphasis the progressive nature of the music it presents. A number of the tracks on it have not been exposed previously. It mixes widely-acclaimed artists such as Rachelle Ferrell, Zap Mama, Rahsaan Patterson, Tony Rich Project and Me'Shell Ndegeocello alongside overlooked talents such as Adriana Evans and Rosie Gaines and emerging forces such as Hil St. Soul, Amp Fiddler and Ledisi. As such it is a snapshot of a spectrum of fascinating, challenging artists who give the lie to those who say the current music scene lacks quality artists.

    this collection of "Nu-Soul Music" is a hot one. most of the songs have been released already but when they are put here together, it a lovely thing! the artist on this cd go from the "famous" (ZAP MAMA, Me'SHELL NDEGEOCELLO,RACHELL FERRELL) to the "almost famous" (RASHAN PATTERSON,OLU AND TONY RICH), to the "who the hell is that" (POSTIVE FLOW AND ANDREUS)....plus those artist with an underground following (LEDISI,ERIC ROBERSON, HIL ST. SOUL).....of the 14 tracks, the ones that stood
    out for me where:

    1. Andreus-Rebellious Love (never heard of the brother but the song is nice)
    2. Ledisi-So Right (i love her music, she can do no wrong)
    3. The Tony Rich Project-Let Me (this song is HOTTT!!)
    4. Rachelle Farrell-Nothing In The Middle (it was recorded live and Rachelle shows her vocal skills!)
    5. Zap Mama-Miss Q-N (the lyrics of this song are deeeeep!)
    6. Me'Shell Ndegocello-Andromeda & the Milky Way (the title is enough!)

    im not saying the rest arent good, these are just the songs that moved me. im sure they will move you as well. the cd is really worth pickin up. ONELOVE

    5 out of 5 stars Top-notch sooth-ability! .......2005-03-09

    Throughout this immeasurably relaxing album are the predominant natural sounds of both water and birdsong that get supported by an assortment of gentle keyboard instrumentations. From Ashron's singing bowls to Scholl's spacescape, from Shajan's pouring rain stick to the Gordon's bird and waterscapes, all lend the listener to a perfect blend of sound for bathing the mind and soothing the spirit. Sophia has the only track with vocals, but its ethereal voices are so sweet one forgives the gentle intrusion. In all, this is the Gordon's most relaxing and rewarding album for letting go. Top-notch sooth-ability!

    5 out of 5 stars Incredibly Peaceful & Moving.......2005-03-01

    This latest compilation of healing music from Sequoia Records is nothing less than brilliant. A follow up to their beautifully relaxing "Musical Healing" release from several years back, Perfect Balance: Musical Healing Vol. 2 surpasses the first in depth, dynamic and serenity. The majority of tracks here are mainly new releases along with a few classics from legendary healing music pioneers, David & Steve Gordon. These are balanced perfectly with some amazingly traquil tracks from such healing music luminaries as Shajan, Sophia and several new artists of note, including Bernd Scholl, whose track "Watermoon" blissfully carries the listener away on an ocean of eternal calm and Ashron, whose "Golden Light" bathes the listener in a waterfall of shimmering sound. This 69 plus minute release is superbly produed, mixed and sequenced allowing for ultimate release and relaxation and is long enough to just let it run for accompanying any healing arts session. An exceptional release.

    5 out of 5 stars A raw and powerful collection.......2002-01-18

    Specialty records was best known as the folks who brought the likes of Little Richard to the fore in the 50s, but it's rawest and most powerful work of the era was with Black Gospel music. Unknown to almost everyone but Black churchgoers at the time, these were unquestionably the strongest and most emotional Black records of that time. No matter what your religious beliefs are, you will be awed and blown away by tunes like "Lord Lord Lord" by Alex Bradford, "My Rock" by the Swan Silvertones, the eerie "Prayer for the Doomed" by the Chosen Gospel Singers (don't listen to this one alone in a dark room, folks), and any of the selctions by Sam Cooke's Soul Stirrers, Dorothy Love Coates, and The 5 Blind Boys of Alabama. This is the high-energy stuff with the feeling that Soul Singers and rock & rollers have tried to capture ever since. A good companion piece to this is "The Great 1955 Shrine Concert" featuring many of the same artists. Only complaint about this collection-no liner notes telling us about the songs and artists. Either way, behold and be awed.

    5 out of 5 stars Listen to this soul stirring singing by Sam Cooke.......2000-06-14

    Sam Cooke is a great legend. He sings with such an anointing. He feels what he sings and that is what makes this album a great one. I just get chill bumps when I hear him sing because he has a sweetly anointed voice. If you want to be sung to sleep physically or spiritually this is the perfect CD.

    A great CD i got for $17 w/shipping off the artists actual site, Mundaca is sort of Bebel Gilberto, yet closer to the jazzy sytle of Joao. Good buy.

    5 out of 5 stars IF PATTI AIN'T THE GREATEST WHO IS.......2006-03-16

    I LOVE THIS CD EVEN THOUGH IT DOES HAVE ALOT OF BALLADS IF SHOWS OFF A SOFTER SOUND TO PATTI'S VOICE. BUY IT!!!

    3 out of 5 stars A good Patti "chill" album - not for dancing around the room.......2005-10-10

    While I am a Patti LaBelle fan, I give 'Gems' 3 stars because in my opinion, it leans too much on the ballad side. Don't get me wrong - Patti's vocals are at their best when she delivers an emotional, powerful ballad but 10 of the 12 tracks on this album are ballads. The only real uptempo tracks are 'The Right Kinda Lover' and 'This Word Is All'. If Patti would've included 2 more tracks like these danceful ditties, 'Gems' would be a solid album and a welcome addition to any fan's Patti LaBelle catalogue. This album was quickly forgotten after its release, which is too bad. Patti's previous album 'Burnin' and her follow-up to this one 'Flame' were much better efforts and are definitely worth picking up.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent! Patti at her best.......2002-10-26

    This a great CD that only gets better with replay. Shows her great range, from soft to belting it out, from funky to smooth. I've owned it for years and still listen to it frequently. Highly recommended.

    4 out of 5 stars Gems.......2000-07-22

    Ok, at a first listen, this may not be one of Patti's best Cds. Afterall, it followed one of her best CDS ever, "Burnin" However, the more you listen to this CD, you appreciate Patti's ability to phrase a song and her ability to purr and to roar. Songs such as "Stay in My Corner", "Right Kinda Lover", "If I didn't have You", "Time will Tell" make this CD well worth the buy. Some of the other cuts you will love the more you listen to them. She does a relaxed but great version of "All this Love". People who prefer to hear Patti belting might be disappointed with some of the selections on the Cd, they all don't give her the chance to break loose. But as always, her style is admirable and there are many times on the Cd her power shines through. I especially like the background vocals that she performs on the Cd.

    5 out of 5 stars Patti at her best!.......1999-03-23

    Patti LaBelle is a GEM of our time. Being in the musical industry for over 35 years, she is the best there is. Everyone, including the likes of Oprah Winfry and Rosie O'Donnel, say that they can feel the pressence of God when Ms. LaBelle opens her mouth to sing, and that is the truth here. This album showcases the Patti LaBelle that everyone knows. If you're new to the Patti Scene, this is the album for you. An album of mainly ballads, Patti takes you on a smooth ride with infinite vocal range on such tracks as "Stay In My Corner" and "Come As You Are." You can't miss this classic album by the one and only Diva.
