GREAT BOX SET OF PRIME TD!!!!!!, July 8, 2005
This review is from: Ladies Choice (Audio CD)
This 3cd set is a must-have for all lovers of classic soul music. This bag of musical gems includes all of TD's classic albums on the Dakar label between 1968 and 1975. I've kept this set in heavy rotation on my disc player.
For those listeners that know of Tyrone's one-of-a kind singing voice only through the two big pop crossover hits- "Can I Change My Mind" & "Turn Back The Hands Of Time", there is in this 63 song set, much more of the great Chicago Soul sound & the underrated musicians from the Windy City that provided such a funky & mellow cushion for TD's vocal wizardry. Otis was called "Mr. Pitful", but we always called Tyrone Davis-the "Beggin' Man" because of his pleading style , which could never be called pitful(Exhibit A: "I Had It All The Time"-such 'masculine beggin' on this prime cut!). I missed seeing TD in concert by a week, since he'd taken ill the week before the show. R.I.P. Mr. Davis- You've left us a wealth of wonderful music to cherish.
