Not up to some of the others, but still good

"This collection isn't quite up to the others, but some really good stuff remains nonetheless from 1969-70. Gene Chandler's "Groovy Situation" was greatly loved by those of us who remember listening to the radio at the time, but it's almost forgotten today, so it's good to see it here. The same is true with the Presidents' "5-10-15-20." The Spinners' "It's A Shame" was written by Stevie Wonder and is representative of his genius. "War is available elsewhere and the other tunes are just okay, but the good stuff here (and what good stuff it is) makes it worthwhile. Classic Soul, Si! Gangsta rap, NO!"
