"Signifying" Funky Organ Grooves From The Big Apple 65-71

16 tasty tracks of soul jazz organ – played by some of the leading lights of the Prestige stable, like Jack McDuff, Freddie Roach, Trudy Pitts, and others! Very nice selection of tracks – and titles include "Trip On The Strip" by Stan Hunter & Sonny Fortune, "Soul Power" by Groove Holmes, "First Gravy" by Leon Spencer, "Johnny Hammond Boogaloo" by Johnny Hammond Smith, "Take Five" by Trudy Pitts, "Sing A Simple Song" by Charles Earland, and "Walk On By" by Jack McDuff. (Out of print.)  © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.With 16 songs and 77 minutes of music, this compilation of 1965-71 Hammond organ soul-jazz from the Prestige vaults is not only excellent value, but so well-selected as to rate among the finest soul-jazz compilations. Jack McDuff is the only name that will be immediately familiar to many general listeners; most of the disc is dedicated to lesser-known talents in the same vein, including Johnny "Hammond" Smith, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Charles Earland, and more obscure names like Freddie Roach, Trudy Pitts, Don Patterson, and Leon Spencer. What elevates this above some similar anthologies is the focus upon cuts with really sharp, funky riffs, along with intelligent programming that provides a greater variety than you'll find on most soul-jazz comps. Highlights are hard to isolate in such strong company, but Trudy Pitts' suave run-through of "Take Five," Jack McDuff's propulsive "601 1/2 No. Poplar," Earland's furiously fast-paced "Milestones," and McDuff's incandescent version of "Walk On By" (arranged by Benny Golson) are standouts. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

BONUS 2 OF 10 @320

Aretha Franklin - The Atlantic Albums Collection CD2_ Aretha Arrives '67

From humble beginnings touring American churches in her father’s caravan, Aretha Franklin has since been crowned the ‘Queen of Soul’ and is not only the definitive female soul singer of the Sixties, but also one of the most influential and important voices in pop history. Franklin fused the gospel music she grew up on with the sensuality of R&B, the innovation of jazz, and the precision of pop. After she hit her artistic and commercial stride in 1967, she made more than a dozen million-selling singles including "Respect," "Freeway of Love" and "I Say a Little Prayer", and since then has recorded 20 Number One R&B hits. Over her vast career, she has accumulated eighteen Grammy Awards, and become the most charted female artist in history. Unsurprisingly, she is regarded as being one of the best singers of the modern era, which paved her way into being the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. ‘The Atlantic Albums Collection’ houses 16 incredible Aretha Franklin albums in a beautiful 19CD clamshell box, each CD sleeve a replica of the original artwork in the unforgettable Atlantic branding. This boxset showcases some of the Queen of Soul’s incredible work including the phenomenal, ‘Lady Soul’, ‘I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You’, ‘Young, Gifted and Black’ and the Deluxe version of ‘Live At The Fillmore West’ show. People Get Ready to Respect the Queen of Soul.

More juniors. I'm not sure how good they really are, but it's pleasant listening. Both Mud Morganfield and Elmore James Jr stay close to their fathers.
