PhilMH 9th Jul 2019		On the other hand, if this had come out in 1979, my 22-year old self, who didn't know what he knows now, and had far less records than he does now, would probably have bought it!



PhilMH 9th Jul 2019		A little bit strange, this one - most of the tracks are owned by Universal, but there are several licensed-in ones as well, which probably weren't necessary when you consider that this collection is missing anything from the Universal-owned Capitol catalogue (which includes the Minit, Imperial, Liberty and United Artists catalogues), so Bobby Womack, Ike & Tina Turner, Irma Thomas, Natalie Cole and Lou Rawls would be far better selections than the likes of The Whispers, Van McCoy, and Eddie Holman (better Ruby & The Romantics' original "Hey There Lonely Boy" from the Universal-owned Kapp catalogue than Eddie's teeth-grating cover). And Len Barry, "soul"? They should have just used The Supremes' "Ask Any Girl" and be done with it! Even the track from the genuinely legendary Gladys Knight & The Pips is a bit of a ringer, being a Buddah/Sony track used in place of any of their Motown hits. And a few more tracks from the Universal-distributed Fantasy/Stax catalogues, by Booker T. & The M.G.'s, The Staple Singers, Sylvester, Rufus Thomas even, would have been better choices than The Blackbyrds. Billy Paul makes my teeth grate too - if the compilers wanted something from Philly, why not The O'Jays, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, solo Teddy P, all with much greater claims to "legend" status? Someone relied on their own taste(s) a little too much, I think!



sladesounds 9th Jul 2019		Review 60 tracks gives plenty of room to get the "Legends" bit right and this compilation easily achieves it. On a personal level I think that The Foundations, The Undisputed Truth, The Stylistics and The Whispers, whilst quality groups, placing them alongside Marvin Gaye and the other Motown legends is to me pushing the definition of "Legends" to the max, more of fillers hence my ratings on a few of the tracks. What's it missing?, maybe something from Otis Redding, a decent track from Aretha Franklin (not the poor gospel number used here) and something from Al Green. Nevertheless, overall a great compilation worth picking up. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
