Editorial Reviews

Spreading itself thick across three decades of funk, soul, and smooth R&B, Metro's Funk Soul Sisters not only covers a fair amount of stylistic ground, but it also mixes chart hits with rare groove, and in turn serves up a compilation that plugs gaps in one's collection while remaining a great listen from front to back. Though the focus is obviously on the women who made these songs what they are, the graceful touch of Roy Ayers is felt on four highlights of the disc's 16 cuts: Bobby Humphrey's "Baby Don't U Know," Eighties Ladies' "I Knew That Love," and two songs from Eighties Ladies' vocalist Sylvia Striplin's solo album ("All Alone" and "Will We Ever Pass This Way Again"), which were released on Ayers' Uno Melodic label in the early '80s. These four songs represent the smoother side of the album, while the remainder -- such as Betty Wright's Top Ten hit "Clean up Woman," the Jones Girls' "Will You Be There" and "I Turn to You," Betty Harris' "There's a Break in the Road," Betty Davis' "No Good at Falling in Love," and Deniece Chandler's "It's You I Need" -- are a shade grittier and a bit funkier in comparison. It goes without saying that these songs are uplifting, empowering, and emotionally resonant for those who have gone through the experiences that these artists sing about. Like its counterpart, Funk Soul Brothers (seems a bit odd that a compilation focusing on male artists would be necessary, doesn't it?), Funk Soul Sisters has plenty to offer. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars Cooking up a funky mess..., November 20, 2001
By 
This review is from: Funk Soul Sisters (Audio CD)
OK. Where else are you going to find Betty Wright, Linda Clifford, Betty Harris and The Jones Girls on one disc? Funksoul Sisters is a wonderful CD focusing on the ladies you might have forgotton or just weren't aware of. The mix is great. The selection of artists by Ian McCann shows a real appreciation and respect for the hotpants and afros era. These women created some amazing music and it's a sin to keep it locked away. Clean Up Woman may not be a song that very one knows, but Betty Wright cuts to the core. That's just one of sixteen killer cuts. Show some style and give the girls their props. One funky, soulful song after another. If you appreciate grooves and soul. This is for you.
