This collection isn't quite up to the others, but some really good stuff remains nonetheless from 1969-70. Gene Chandler's "Groovy Situation" was greatly loved by those of us who remember listening to the radio at the time, but it's almost forgotten today, so it's good to see it here. The same is true with the Presidents' "5-10-15-20." The Spinners' "It's A Shame" was written by Stevie Wonder and is representative of his genius. "War is available elsewhere and the other tunes are just okay, but the good stuff here (and what good stuff it is) makes it worthwhile. Classic Soul, Si! Gangsta rap, NO!

This is an excellent series of 70's soul hits. All the tracks are the original recordings you'll remember with some hard to find tracks Like Ronnie Dyson's (If you let me make love to you then) Why can't I touch you and Somebobody's been sleeping by 100 Proof Aged in Soul. Plus there's an interesting read on the stories behind the hits. My one complaint would be with Rhino, why didn't they include more soul songs in their 70's Have a nice day series.

I am well satisfied with my purchase. It came on time and in good condition.

Another excellent CD full of rare and not so rare soul hits from the early 70's. The sound is good as usual. My only complaint with this disc is why are the two Chairman of the Board tracks in mono? Other Chairman of the Board tracks on volume 4 of this series and these two particular tracks on a greatest hits CD's I have are in stereo. Other than that a nice CD.
