Soulful Moments: 70s Should Have Been Classic - Soulful Moments: 70s Should Have Been Classic CD

Not every great song makes it to the top of the charts as a matter of fact, many true gems remain overlooked and under the radar for decades. This compilation puts together some of the greatest examples of rare soul songs from the 1970s that should have been huge hits but somehow fell by the wayside of the general public but have been cherished by those lucky enough to stumble upon them when they originally were issued. From The Corner Gangs Rich Man Alone to 1619 Bad Ass Bands Rain (Always Finds Me Crying) a virtual treasure trove of great songs are featured on this generous 17 track compilation, every selection a gem. All tracks have been newly remastered.Additional Info: Short and sweet, this 1977 debut offering from Miami-based Celi Bee & the Buzzy Bunch (basically her backing musicians) doesn't offer anything particularly timeless among its six selections; rather, it serves a pleasant pate of disco trinkets, suave mid-tempo numbers, and one sullen ballad. Celi Bee has a naturally light tone, yet she is capable of sounding either cool -- as evidenced by "Hurt Me, Hurt Me" -- or fiery ("Smile"). The classic is, of course, "Superman," a simple-but-contagious disco number later covered by Herbie Mann. Though the production dates itself, it's still quite hard to resist the song's chugging groove and Celi Bee's evocative cooing and pleading. The material overall is more fleeting than some of the solid grooves gracing the subsequent Fly Me on the Wings of Love; but for disco stalwarts with a knack for a slightly alternative groove, this set is a worthy investment. ~ Justin M.
