Best Of War And More, The - #176 War 1987 Priority 11/19/91 The best disco music of many very good
groups. Fondest memory is of my visit
to Gerry Ferguson's home and going with him and Chester to a disco on Madison
Street. I was the only white face
within 50 blocks and had a blast especially dancing to Slippin' into Darkness. Eric Burton is here, on some numbers: He is some of the best blue eyed soul out
of the 60's and 70's Purchased: 2/1/92 - J&R

Unforgettable - #436 Warwick,
Dionne 1987 Castle 1/1/87 Gift from Alex Mitsuda. Great songs but a very poor engineered album. It is a disappointment that Ms. Warwick
has made so many bad career choices.
Or, maybe, she signed a contract to give away all the rights to the
original hits. This album has re-recordings
of the great ones. And the quality is
all bad. Her voice does not come
through, her talent is not heard.
She's into the same bad business that affected Billie Holiday and
other, a few bucks, songs sung, and then release without any quality control. Purchased: 1/1/87 - Gift

Mister Magic
- #366 Washington
Jr., Grover 1975 Motown 1/1/75 I flipped when I heard Mr. Magic. Better on vinyl than on CD. You would like this for most reasons if
you like R&B or Jazz. Not as good
on CD, poor digitizing. Needs to be
redone. But still the good moodiest
of all Jazz. Purchased: 1/1/87 - J&R

Best Of Dinah Washington, The Mad About The
Boy- #610 Washington,
Dinah 1992 Mercury 1/1/92 Dinah. A
compilation that does the talent credit.
She made some really great music.
There are some really awful recordings out there. This is not one of them. Hello Dinah!, welcome to the 90's. We miss you up there but you are down here
with us too. Purchased: 2/28/96 - $12.98 Rated: 5 |
In The Land Of Hi-Fi - #97 Washington,
Dinah 1956 Emarcy 1/1/56 This is 50's jazz vocal. Not enough emotion in this record, not enough swing but still
it is an example of the 50's at it's best.
Washington's "Blue Gardenia" is better but this is a type
that historically reflects the vocals of the times. Purchased: 1/1/87 - J&R
