5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Classics:: The Friends of Distinction, November 5, 2006

By 

Penny E-Hoffland "Ms. Penny Engrav-Hoffland" (Eau Claire, WI.,USA) - See all my reviews

The Friends of Distinction were a group that paved the way from
soul into pop & jazz, without sacrificing soul. They were a transitional group that has not received the credit they deserve. They were followed by the Fifth Dimension which continued the pop,rock,soul,jazz transmutation in music. The Fifth Dimension received popularity & accolades, however the 'Friends' should NOT be dismissed. Their harmonies & musical style
should be noted! I love the 'Friends of Distinction' & the Fifth Dimension - the groups are similar. Check out the 'Friends' & you will
hear what I mean. I actually performed: "Love Or Let Me Be Lonely" in a College Jazz/Pop group! "Going in Circles" is another great 'Friends' song. - Penny Music MAma

First, let's make something perfectly clear. Allow me to break it down for you:

1. Great Group (of course!)
2. Great Songs (Grazing in the Grass, Going In Circles, Love or Let me be Lonely are my absolute favorites!)
3. Great Times (with music of th Late 60's and Early 70's - simple, honest and real!)

The rest of the songs are decent, but I rate this disc 5 stars by the strength of the three songs previously mentioned.

Biased? Most definitely!

My rating: Five Stars!!
