"...if you are budget impaired like I am, a collection like this is pure gold. It has back to back favorites. It has the Jacksons ("Find Me A Girl") in their PI years, Billy Paul's classic "Me and Mrs. Jones", a Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes tune from the original "Miss You" album--the superb "Be For Real" with Teddy P. in conversational and vocal overdrive. It has the live version of "Sunshine" by the Ojays, which we useta play the sugar honey iced tea outta because it has Eddie Levert goin' all out on it--you never, never, ever hear that on the radio, which is weird considering how much everybody useta play it..It has Lou Rawls' dynamic "Lady Love"... The two cuts I didn't catch when they first were released that I really dig now are "It's Forever" by the Ebonys and "Don't Send Me Away" by People's Choice. Powerful jams. Take my word for it, this is a very, very good CD."
