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.

This is my music, I've long awaited a collection such as this one. And I truly recommended this for anyone who remembers what real music was like. 70's and the 80's its all hear.

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.

Patti Labelle, the Stylistics, Maxine Nightingale, Heatwave, on and on and on. All the classics from the 70s. But redone today. Its nothing less than spectacular & incredible. A PBS fundraiser and something that will make your CD collection complete! REMARKABLE. Music that integrates ALL people regardless of race, gender, age. THIS IS A MUST HAVE CD!

This is a good representation of the soul music that was on the AM radio. All of these songs were hits though some of the soujnds are better than others. But, how can onel fault an anthology that includes, "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get," "Love on a Two Street," and, "Let It Whip" (with one of the best hooks ever found in any pop song)? The booklet contains nothing but photos of the groups represented in this collection, and the packaging is like a book (a disappointment because cds packaged like this are hard to shelve). Still, it's worth having even if I can't fit it won't fit in the shelf the way I want.

A must have compilation for all of us boomers and anyone who loves the 70's genre! FUN!!!!!!!!!
