Soul Hits of the 70's Reviews

If you have nothing to compare it to,twenty bucks may seem like a good deal for 3 cds. Remember that there are only 40 tracks spread on the 3 discs-they could have done it on two but stores like to display 3 disc sets as gift sets. More tracks would have added to the cost of the set. So original 40 tracks(save a "live" that is passable)at nine bucks-a great deal.There are tracks that show up daily on any oldies station(("Play That Funky Music"),soft rock stations("Lean On Me")and urban classic soul outlets(the Marlena Shaw tracks). The interesting parts,though,are the tracks here that haven't...

I just thought every song was going to be a hit from the title's time frame. There are some songs I never heard of from Artists that are strangers to me. I guess this is because I could not figure out how to see all the songs listed on the cd's from the advertisement online. |
