CAIN, HENRY - Funky Organization of Henry Cain
During the David Axelrod craze this was a 2nd or 3rd tier record collectors would check for because Axelrod produced it. I thought The Funky Organization of Henry Cain would be your typical run of the mill organ Jazz album, and in many ways it is, but there are a couple times when Cain surprised me. |

CHANDLER, GENE - Situation
Gene Chandler is best known for his 1962 Doo Wop classic Duke Of Earl. His career was much longer than that one song. Chandler was a mainstay of the Chicago Soul scene, and Situation was one of his more successful albums because of the hit Groovy Situation. |

CHARLES, RAY - A Message From The People
Ray Charles recorded A Message From The People with his longtime friend Quincy Jones. Charles gets off to a great start with a completely re-arranged and soulful version of Lift Every Voice And Sing. Two mellower numbers, Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong and Heaven Help Us All, follow that. |

GAYE, MARVIN - Marvin Gaye And His Girls
This album collects together Marvin Gaye’s recordings with Tammi Terrell, Mary Wells and Kim Weston. There are four tracks with each female artist. The songs with Wells are a little too mellow. It Takes Two with Weston finally kicks things off with its fast pace. |

HOT CHOCOLATE - Cicero Park
Most of the songs on Cicero Park have a dark and moody feel to them. That’s heard immediately on Cicero Park and Could Have Been Born In The Ghetto (Theme from Love Head) that feature some percussion, but stripped down rhythms. |

Digable Planets - Reachin' (A New Refutation Of Time And Space)
Hatters be damned!!!! As one of the most hotly contested hip hop albums on the forums, I felt it was only necessary to review it. Classic to many, turd to others, this was nonetheless a big album in its time. |

SANTAMARIA, MONGO - Up From The Roots
Up From The Roots, as the title and cover picture implies, is a collection of songs that show the African roots of Caribbean music. Almost the entire first side is African drumming and vocals. |

CENTRAL LINE - Central Line
If you want to hear some great Modern Soul look no farther than Central Line’s self-titled LP. It contains their hit Walking Into Sunshine, which is such an infectious tune, it’s sure to get a dance floor moving. |

COLLINS, ALBERT - Love Can Be Found Anywhere (Even In A Guitar)
This is another funky Blues album with a lot of Soul to it. The opening Do The Sissy is pretty incredible, especially the beginning bass line. |
