Good collection of obscure soul

"Lovers of true Soul music rejoice. Lotsa good stuff here in the form of Seventies Soul ballads. While "Be Thankful for What You Got" is familiar to lovers of 70s, Soul, most of these tunes would be remembered only by those who had the albums or heard them occasionally on Soul Radio stations at the time. "I Gave To You" by the Delphonics is lesser-known, but up to the usual high standards of this popular group. "She's Good" features Jermaine instead of Michael of the Jackson 5. "Remember the Rain" is an excellent J-5 soundalike that is good on it's own terms. "Body and Soul" by the Lost Generation is not to be confused with the jazz classic, but is a lovely tune nonetheless as are the other tunes in this set."
Awesome collection

"If you're an aficionado of rare Old School soul and hard to find tracks, you can't beat this series. Both Volumes 1 and 2 are incredible."
Nice variety of slow jams

"a nice variety and collection of slow jams, especially the song by Charles Mann entiltled " say you love me too." However, the song by Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes, "I should be your lover", does not appear on the CD as noted. Instead, a dance tune by Chuck Brown ( I think he's the artist) has been erroneously recorded in place of Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes' song."
