Burning and deeply passionate is the uniquely original quality of the great yet sadly under-exposed extraordinary voice of Motown great Kim Weston, continuing to record tremendous albums after leaving Motown Records on "It Takes Two" high but strangely without commercial success...must have been frustrating and confusing to a singer recording so many great albums and singles. Upon leaving Motown Records, Kim recorded two great Lp's & numerous awesome singles at MGM without any radio support, next Kim was off to independent label for classic "Big Brass Four Poster" being a blues/soul masterpiece, along the way were numerous engrossing 45 rpm releases that would make for wonderful bonus tracks on future releases that will hopefully happen in our lifetime! Finally another major label signing with Stax/Volt Records looked as though overdue stardom was assured with release of the brilliant "Kim, Kim, Kim" being a solid masterpiece, stunning collection shows full extraordinary range of this magnificent singer yet once again zero radio support with promotion for this captivating work non-existant...must now be highly regarded by connoisseurs of great singers as this hard to obtain Compact Disc when available lists for mega bucks, somebody needs to do a Kim Weston Box Set of these brilliant Post-Motown releases with bonus tracks, it would be and incredibly great vocal treasure chest of captivating performances from the greatest singer to come out of the Classic Motown Era. Opening this highly entertaining eclectic "Greatest Hits & Rare Classics" collection is hit duet with Motown legend Marvin Gaye "It Takes Two", these brilliant singers match each other note for note and created a timeless classic magical enduring performance, just one of many brilliant performances in this stellar collection. Soulfully stirring with a driving rhythm track featuring burning Weston vocal is the thrilling "Take Me In Your Arms (Rock Me For A Little While)" being high on the list of all-time Motown classics, would have easily with more exposure gone to #1, at time of release this scorching anthem was very successful in the dance club circuit...equally great being another dance club hit is riveting anthem "Helpless", recorded by other Motown greats but none come close to this passionate Weston version featuring a red hot vocal with a driving rhythm track that burns and Kim nails it big-time. Additional duets with Marvin are classic gems while glorious soaring anthems "I'm Still Loving You" and "Love Me All The Way" are cream of the crop of Motown classic sixties output. Mid-sixties will never forget hearing Kim Weston for the first time on car radio singing unforgettable classic "A Thrill A Moment", this smoldering then soaring classic is above and beyond the finest from Motown in the classic Sixties Era, exciting and passionate vocal is peerless and this great singer never has received the acclaim she rightly deserves for all of these phenomenal performances! Music lovers don't miss this sizzling collection of Motown Classics, listen to the bluesy passionate "Just Loving You" performance and wonder how a singer this awesome slipped through the cracks, extraordinary singer the ultimate voice of Motown Records classic sixties era is truly a singer for all time, anyone loving classic Motown don't miss out on this sublime collection featuring the Ultimate Singer of them all...Bravo Kim!

Stax of Funk, Vol. 2: More Funky Truth (BGP)
http://www.discogs.com/Various-Stax-Of-Funk-Vol-2-More-Funky-Truth/release/561356
This 21-track collection focuses on some of the more obscure and funk-oriented music Stax put out in the first half of the 1970s. There are a few big names here and there, though not represented by famous tracks, such as the Staple Singers, the Bar-Kays, Albert King, and Rufus Thomas, and more moderately famous performers like Sir Mack Rice, Inez Foxx, the Emotions, the Sweet Inspirations, and Jimmy McCracklin. But a lot of the music is by artists most won't have remembered as being on the Stax roster, or on any other for that matter. On the whole it's OK, but not first-division period soul-funk crossover, sometimes recalling other, bigger artists too obviously, as Bernie Hayes does James Brown on "Cool Strut" (complete with "hit it!" exhortations). the Emotions' "From Toys to Boys" certainly sounds influenced by the kind of very early-'70s Motown production heard on some Jackson 5 records, as do to a lesser degree a couple of the other songs. As for the better moments, the blues-tinged "Big Leg Woman" by Israel "Popper Stopper" Tolbert was an actual 1970 R&B Top 20 hit that doesn't show up on many compilations, and the Bar-Kays' "Cold Blooded" is a cool, largely instrumental James Brown-like tune whose arrangement bears influences from both Philly soul and Santana. There's also Albert King's curious 1974 funk remake of "Crosscut Saw." The one previously unissued track is Rufus Thomas' "Do the Side Saddle." -AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger
