2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 4, 2004

I bought Ultimate Soul intending to escape from the blandness of radio holiday music by the likes of Celine Dion, etc. Sadly, this set does not deliver. With a few exceptions most of it sounds like unemotional pop. If you want to hear the ultimate in soul at Christmastime, buy "Soul Christmas". That collection will move you, in every sense of the word. If you're looking for background music that won't distract from your Christmas party then Ultimate Soul Christmas might be a good choice. If you're looking for pure listening pleasure, keep looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars spectacular, October 19, 2004

This review is from: Ultimate Soul Christmas (Audio CD)

this is truly what the title says: the ultimate soul christmas collection. all of our holiday favorites are here. nat cole's "the christmas song," donny hathaway's "this christmas" and the temptation's "silent night" are all front and center. there are also goodies by Lena, Ella, Smokey and Otis. An extra bonus is the warm and smokey Candi Staton track "Christmas in My Heart" and the Tri-City Singers' "Carol of the Bells." This is a must-have a great price!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait for the Holidays and then some, November 2, 2010
