5.0 out of 5 stars Who Said that white boys can't JUMP?, June 7, 2000

Reginald D. Garrard "the G-man" (Camilla, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ma (Audio CD)

Check out this release and you will discover one of the best bands of the seventies. This rocking and soulful group from the Motown hitmaking stable had no equals at the time. Their turn on the classic "Smiling Faces Sometimes" is a treasure and the exceptionally long "Ma" (earlier recorded by The Temptations) is a tour de force.

These boys didn't need to take a backSTREET...OOPS! I meant "BACK SEAT" to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Rock Funk, May 11, 2000

Royal Wright (Arlington, TX, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ma (Audio CD)

I first heard "Ma" on an LP in 1973. Considering the times I was blowed away. The title song was 17 mins of serious rock funk. The reverse side was also a great suprise with songs like Big John and Aint no words to this song. I did not really hear these songs until I bought this CD. Long live the sound of Rare Earth!
