Good Collection of Rare Cuts

"Only a few of the cuts on this disc were major hits; however, this is a likeable selection of songs. Many of my favorites are among the songs that were lesser "hits". For example, "Do Your Thing" is a rare Isaac Hayes selection that shows him in a new light. My surprise favorites are the tender "I've Been Lonely For So Long", the hilarious "Troglodyte", the moving "If Loving You Is Wrong" and the superb pop production of "Power Of Love". Several better known hits round out the disc as well, "I'll Take You There", "Lean On Me", "Too Late To Turn Back Now", and "Back Stabbers". If you want to hear all the breadth of early 70s (1972) soul at its finest, this is a wonderful choice. My one complaint is that the order of the songs doesn't flow to my liking, but otherwise this is a much played disc."
