"while there are quite a few Hits&Various Packages on the Crusaders alot of Folks don't usually get them during there Funk/Jazz Hybrid Period into a Single file."Chain Reaction",&"Street Life" are my Joints.Joe Sample tickling them Keys like nobody's Business.I always enjoyed how they Built up on Grooves&Layered things out Smoothly.I have a Box Set on them&all of these Songs are featured but it still is cool seeing them on this Set.you name it&this Band could Play it.I Like there late 60's Mid 70's Grooves the Best overall.they are one of My All-time Favorites.Huge Fan of these Cats."

"Great compliation of tunes. Selections are from some of their better albums. This a good example of good music being timeless.
Most of the tunes are fron the 70's but still sound fresh."

"I confess, I bought this CD to hear the originals to compare how they were performed in the 70s. This is a collection of original hits from Crusaders who are all individual stars now including Joe Sample, Larry Carlton, Wayne Henderson, "Stix" Hooper and Wilton Felder. The grooves are evident in every tune. To me, the sound is a bit dated and I enjoy the modern versions more. If you are unfamiliar with these names, doesn't matter, they just ahppen to have set the benchmark for soul jazz in the 70s. Now they are legends in the instrumental area and all have re-released updated versions of these hits."
