The Main Ingredient were one of the groups that helped define Soul Music of the 1970's. Everybody Plays The Fool, Rolling Down a Mountain Side, Happiness Around The Bend, represented the uptempo dance music that later influenced disco. Spinning Around and Just Don't want to be lonely are classic ballads.

What a blast from the past ...I bought this CD for a few tunes but while listening to the whole thing I found myself remembering most of them . I may be dating myself, but I wish that musicians still did soul music like this .

Main Ingredient has a solid tone through out this disc.Everybody plays the fool is a timeless Gem.Just don't want to be Lonely is also another Classic.

I used to listen to this on a 45rpm record as a kid, this sure brings back some wonderful memories.

If you go crazy for 70s Soul music, this CD is a good beginning for you. However, if you would like to appreciate the excellency of The Main Ingredient as one of the best Soul groups of the 70s, try to get their "Euphrates River" album (actually available in an expensive Japanese edition.) If you are willing to pay the sticker price for it, I assure you won't be dissapointed!

What can you say about a group that withstood the test of time? As a little girl I can remember hearing their hits from my fathers 8 track tape player. Songs like, I Just Don't Want To Be Lonely and Rolling Down A Mountainside. Each time I hear these songs, they transport me to a happier time, to a simpler time when everything was fun and music still had meaning. Here's to you Main Ingredient. Thank you for giving us your best!
