5.0 out of 5 stars THE ORIGINALS, January 12, 2003

if you buy an album by Brook Benton, look for the Originals.
There are many albums, where the songs were done anew, and are not like I remember them in my mind. Not bad, but not like the old ones.
This is an album with all the originals, Wonderful CD, a great joy.

I only knew of Brook Benton from his Rainy Night in Georgia song. I love that song so much, that I decided to buy the entire CD. And unlike so many CDs of today, this entire CD was excellent. This type of music is just so "charming"... While all of the songs were great, IMHO Rainy Night really stands apart from the rest. That song stirs up such feelings in me, and it really paints a picture. I've never been to Georgia, but when I hear that song, it's almost like I can visualize and feel the place that Brook was singing about.

Eclectic Revisited "Charlie" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of Brook Benton: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection (Audio CD)

The songs on this CD are all memorable, done in Brook Benton's own style. You will not be disappointed. After several years of being off the charts, he recorded "Rainy Night in Georgia" written by Tony Joe White ("Poke Salad Annie") and reminded us all that he still had the talent. There are some tunes missing here that would have enhanced this CD but perhaps they were recorded for another record company. There has to be a reason "Revenge" and "Walk on the Wild Side" are not included as the latter was used in a movie by the same name. Anyway,as stated, you will not be disappointed by the songs that made the cut.
