4.0 out of 5 stars Just Like Christmastime - not long enough!, November 29, 2001

By 

Ristobee (South of LAX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motown Christmas 2 (Audio CD)

This CD delivers what it boasts - fantastic Christmas recordings that are scattered about on other discs or impossible to find and compiled into one nice Motown Christmas gift. Varity is the theme of this CD; Motown from the early 60's to the 80's.

Although all of the recordings are 5-star quality, the fact that there are only 14 recordings (volume 1 contains 24), one can't help feeling a little cheated.

Highlights of this CD are:

Marvin Gaye - PURPLE SNOWFLAKES and THE CHRISTMAS SONG.
The Supremes - OH LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM and OH HOLY NIGHT. OH HOLY NIGHT features Florance Ballard as lead.
The Temptations - LITTLE DRUMMER BOY. Not new but always great to hear.
Kim Weston - WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Happy Holidays to all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Flo Ballard and the Supremes with Motown Rocks, December 2, 2003

By 

Nick Dillon (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Motown Christmas 2 (Audio CD)

I bought this CD and it is wonderful. Motown really knew what they were doing when they recorded these songs. Flo Ballard commands centre stage with her rendition of "Oh Holy Night." I highly recommend this CD. It would be a wonderful collection to add to the Christmas trimmings. Kim Weston, Temptations and many of the singers of the CD were great. Funk Brothers really know how to get down with their music. Overall Great CD.
