CD ReviewsBetter than average but missing something mistermaxxx@yahoo.com | usa | 07/06/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "Berry Gordy&Motown would try any kind of Cover or give there Own Salute to a Artist or Act with this kind of Tribute&as usual there would be some Good Songs&then there would be some real Dogs.this is no exception to the rules."Alfe" Stevie WOnder's Version is Nice as is "Raindrops keep falling on My Head" by the Four Tops but needless to say nobobdy matches to Me what Burt&Dionne Warwick were able to get through.good for Collectors but not quite a Must have." Motown puts on a tux Laurence Upton | Wilts, UK | 01/07/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Motown always had an eye on the lucrative cabaret market and most of their top acts recorded a few lushly-scored standards amongst the more teen dance-oriented fare. For this collection of previously-available material, Universal has swept through the Motown back-catalogue and come up with 18 Burt Bacharach/Hal David compositions. The album kicks off with Gladys Knight's version of The Look Of Love, first recorded by Dionne Warwick, as with so many Bacharach songs, but best known by Dusty Springfield from the film Casino Royale. It ends with Stephanie Mills' 1975 funky revival of This Empty Place. Most of the selections are readily available, but a few are not in print elsewhere, such as the Marvelettes' great rendition of Message To Michael. In most other cases, the songs are the stars, rather than the artists, and one can only marvel again at the talents of the songwriters. Stevie Wonder's instrumental versions of Alfie and A House Is Not A Home are rather schmaltzy, but the least effective recording on this album is Do You Know The Way To San José, culled from a live TV special. It takes the combined forces of the Supremes and the Temptations to provide a snatch of the song which fizzles out after barely one minute. This is Motown in a tux, not at its best but a fascinating stroll down its side roads." Awsome cd!!! Laurence Upton | 05/27/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great Cd. It's rare to find those motown greats singing other peoples music. It is all of your favorite bacharach/david hits, funked up with the motown style. I think this is the perfect cd for anyone who likes motown and also bacharach/david."
