...but that's a good thing. Syl, and this collection, provide a wide range of songs from slow grooves to dance funk. It's impossible to not compare him to (or even confuse him with) Al Green though he doesn't work the upper registers or long notes quite as much. But the performances are just as great and it's too bad he did not have the same level of success. And having four albums plus more in one place is a blessing. Five stars.
