SWEET AND BITTER SOUL

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Like the three previous volumes, this CD takes you through a littany of lesser known and more popular soul hits. The known songs, like Clarence Carter's "Slip Away" and The Miracles "The Tracks Of my Tears" benefit from being mixed in with obscure tracks like "Temptation'Bout To Get Me" by The Knight Brothers and "My Baby" by Garnett Mimms. Sadly, Dave Godin, who compiled these four volumes of magic, passed away last year, so this will probably be the last Deep Soul compilation we will see. Dave Godin (who was British) was probably the best friend American Soul music ever had, and a lot of these artists would not have gotten this second chance at being heard if it were not for him. Thank you, Sir ,for bringing Americans their own music and helping us to see the overlooked magic of our own musical culture.This man truly loved Deep Soul and his taste was impeccable, and so we benefit from his knowledge of some of the best Soul music of all time."
