5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL DANCE MUSIC FROM '70S CLUB SUPERSTARS, March 31, 2005

This review is from: First Choice - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I am a big fan of classic 70's dance music, and there is no more definitive collection anywhere. First Choice is THE classic girl group of the "disco era," chiefly because they recorded so many dance classics, NOT because they were a disco act. No, they were a great r&b act, period. Nonetheless, their Salsoul/Goldmind recordings feature full-throttle performances, with great orchestrations, and real songs. These are full-length tracks, and in some cases, the 12 inch extended versions. Forget "Saturday Night Fever." This is the real deal. Many of these songs have been sampled to death over the years, and for good reason. There are no finer dance grooves than "Let No Man Put Asunder," "Doctor Love," and "Love Thang" [this one, perhaps, being the all-time greatest dance record]. "Double Cross" is another full-bodied, classic dance track with a killer bass line. Many other fine ones in this collection. If you can sit still through these jams, you better check your pulse! Get this one while you still can.

4.0 out of 5 stars THIS CD SHOULD BE YOUR............., December 26, 2002

First Choice. This is essential disco. This philly trio never left their gospel roots either. With disco classics like "Let no man put asunder"(later covered by Mary J. Blige on her "MARY" cd) and "Love Thang". Their smash hits "Armed and Extremely Dangerous", "Dr. Love", and "The Player" are also classics of the genre. The inclusion of the ballad "Do me again" is a major plus and proves First Choice could throw down on the love jams also. Although their thumping, bumping version of Stevie Wonder's "Love Having You Around" should have been included for the intro alone, however this greatest hits package is First Choice's best overall offering. Make it your "first choice"!

i heard the first choice in a disco in philly in 1975, i was blown away with armed and extremely dangerous track that was playing as i came in. it is so great to be able to have them on cd and sounding just as good as they did back then. first rate selection of their vast music career. i love them as i do donna summer,candi staton,vicki sue robinson. please buy it if you can. thanks and take care
