Curtis Mayfield - Curtis
2 recommendations
"Curtis Mayfield (wow, I should have brought out his albums on my last long drive). Curtis Mayfield could be played any place any time--even as a James Bond Theme song, that's how expansive his sound is. my pick would be "If There's A Hell Below We're All Going To Go""
Janelle MonÃe

"Her music is futuristic, soulful, and jazzy. Experimental seems to be the genre of her music, however, it doesn't need a label- it's an artistic creation of greatness!"
Back to Black: Amy Winehouse
9 recommendations
"She may be no good, but this album is great. Divorced from the drama surrounding her, she made a damn good album, one of the year's best. Talk about a tun from her previous album, Frank. It's hard, because obviously this amazing album was born from the pain that lead her to her drug problem, but should also act as a reminder that there's a damn good reason people care what happens to her. Hope..."

"I don't consider it an exaggeration to say that this album is an emotional investment. This album just might change your outlook on life, if not soul music. With memorable songs and an even more memorable voice, it is a must-have for any collection."
Hot Buttered Soul ~ Isaac Hayes

"a legendary masterpiece--I've only recently discovered--not that I haven't heard the gravitational sounds from this pivotal Isaac Hayes album or radio before. Now I feel it's important to get the word out, the Isaac Hayes version of Burt Bacharach's "Walk On By" and Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," are slow burn love songs lasting 12 and 18.5 minutes apiece. The 10-minute "Hyperbolics..."
Spirit in the Dark - Aretha Franklin
1 recommendation
"There's something about the mood of this album cover that suggest that a powerful force shift is about to take place. Maybe it's partly due to the tittle of the album (Spirit in the Dark), or maybe it's because it's one of the most raw Aretha Franklin package designs from her catalogue."
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
19 recommendations
"Just as steeped in hard living and raw talent as any strutting peacock of a rock star in the 1960s, Amy Winehouse is one of the most fascinating artists I've heard in a long time. She speaks her mind, sounds like a seasoned jazz singer and lives her life fearlessly. A bit like a dram of scotch, she'll tease you, jolt your senses and leave you craving more."
