Kiss Kiss

"This is definitely something you'd want to be Kissing After Dark to; the selctions were beautiful. However I was a bit disappointed because there are just so many more songs by so many more artists that I would have preferred to be on this CD. Maybe that is what the problem is: so many selections, so little room. A Kissing After Dark volume 2 would also be cherished. *hint hint*"

TALENT SHOW JAMS

"they could've thrown in some more jams like: You're A Big Girl Now, No More Daddy's Little Girl, Where Have All The Flowers Gone?, You Got Me Goin'In Circles"My Ebony Princess was a major song in Brooklyn when it came out. There's a lot of crucial jams that never made it south nor west. This is a decent compilation, but it could be better. I keep looking for the ultimate rare isolated grooves, that have been neglected for so long. We used to have talent shows when I was a little kid. My cousin Derrick was the falsetto and I (the only girl in the group) hit all the notes to compliment him. The older boys took care of the rest. Music was the center of our universe back then, and talent shows were serious business, with no money involved... just a love of music."
