5.0 out of 5 stars funk on a stick and a bag of chips!!!, February 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Blackbyrds - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

if you like funky, cheesy, nasty, and downright incredibly nice beats, this album is for you. i'm not some yoyo who listens to the commercialized crap that everyone buys these days. i'm a sophisticated 22 year old college student, a serious jazz keyboardist, and a tough as hell critic when it comes to music. rock creek park is the king joint of the album and the rest of the cuts are its cheesefunk counterparts. do yourself a favor and go back in the day with this one!

3.0 out of 5 stars Blackbyrds Greatest Hits..., September 24, 2005

D. S. HARDEN "a movie fan" (L.A.,CA USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Blackbyrds - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

For anyone who is not yet familiar with the Blackbyrds, this collection is a good place to start. Many of their more popular tunes are available, in their full length. "Soft and Easy" stands out for me on the album. Three stars!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 stars. Legendary funk, soul, and jazz., March 20, 2006

Demon Ted "Sound Hound" (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Blackbyrds - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

The Blackbyrds are one of the best bands of the '70's. The only reason I'm not giving this album 5 stars is because they left out 'Mysterious Vibes'. It definitely should have been included since it is a greatest hit for sure. The Joey Negro remix of 'Mysterious Vibes' off Disco Heaven 2003 is also awesome. If you haven't heard these guys yet it'd be well worth your effort.
