Customer Reviews

The most Definitive Soul album I've heard.
When I first saw this album, I thought it would be like many classic soul compilations, with it including all of the well-known songs, and straying to some of the recent stuff today. I'm pleased to say that I was wrong. This album not only covers everyone's favourites (Soul Man by Sam and Dave, and Respect by Aretha Franklin) but also contains "Memphis Soul Stew" by King Curtis and "Soul Finger" by the Bar Kays. As a comprehensive tour of many of the Atlantic label's finest, it covers the best of everything, from those everybody has heard of, to those the avid soul fan recognises. Fantastic sounds!

The Ultimate Soul Compilation, a Must Have.
This is the greatest collection of Soul Music on one purchase. Atlantic is the heart of Sixties soul. Raw talent and wonderful songs. Hit after hit, hours of entertainment. Try keeping your feet still. This is the pride and joy of my CD collection.

Ah, Sweet Soul Music...
This is a must have Cd in your collection. The tunes on here are amazing party tracks or, on your own freek outs.

If you can stay still whilst this plays, you must be dead.
