5.0 out of 5 stars A Definite Must-Have for Old School Fanatics, July 2, 2005

This review is from: Smooth Grooves: Cruisin Classics (Audio CD)

I can't believe no one has reviewed this CD yet! This is one of the best R&B compilations that I've heard so far. I enjoy listening to it while I'm at home, but it's better to listen to it while your crusin' in your ride, right when the sun is setting which is the "Golden Time of Day." That song is on there along with other classics such as "Cruisin'" by Smokey Robinson; "Groovin'" by the Young Rascals; and "Let's Do it Again" by the Staple Singers. Out of the 20 songs on the CD, I enjoy 15 of them. This is one CD that I will *not* be lending out.

I buy a lot of CDs on Amazon, but this one prompted me to write a review because it is simply the best R&B compilation I have ever come across. I can't believe how many incredible songs are found on one CD. Check it out!

4.0 out of 5 stars A near-perfect collection of cruisin' R&B oldies., August 18, 2005

This review is from: Smooth Grooves: Cruisin Classics (Audio CD)

While this CD would not be my first choice as the soundtrack to cruisin' down the freeway, highway or avenue (preferably in a convertible with the top down!) it's still a superb collection of 1960s-'70s R&B. The songs by The Commodores, The Spinners, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Bobby Womack, The Staple Singers and Smokey Robinson are timeless and this is a near-perfect collection of smooth and classic vintage R&B. The liner notes are also very interesting and insightful. A nice package indeed.
