Editorial Reviews

In the ’70s, soul music became America’s music. From four-on-the-floor disco to the "the One" of James Brown’s funkiest grooves to the lush, nearly-make-ya-wanna-cry sounds of Philadelphia, this was the golden era. Superstars Of ’70s Soul, an upcoming PBS pledge special is the follow-up to last year’s hugely successful Rhythm, Love & Soul. It features a cavalcade of ‘70s Soul stars performing their biggest hits. The accompanying Superstars Of ’70s Soul 3-CD box set features 60 of the choicest cuts from soul’s greatest decade, making for the perfect ‘70s Soul set. Over 3 hours of purely righteous groove.

• Contains 60 essential tracks, featuring 41 #1 hits. • Features lavish book, including rare, historic photos of ’70s soul artists and introduction by noted author/music critic Ernest Hardy

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great., June 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Superstars of Seventies Soul (Audio CD)

If you don't own any of this music, this set may not be a bad place to start. There is soul and disco with hints of funk. If you really love this sort of music and can afford a slight jump in price, Rhino's 4 CD "The Disco Box" covers that genre far better, while their 7 CD "Can You Dig It: The Seventies Soul Experience" is the superior anthology. Still, these three discs will probably be enough for fans who are not quite fanatic.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you love 70's Old School and Disco..., March 7, 2004

If you love 70's Old School and Disco...then you've got to have this set! All your favorites here together in one compilation. If you saw the video version on PBS, then I'm sure you've already bought it. That's what I did.
