CD Reviews

One of the Best-Kept Secrets in Soul Music

Mark Hanson | Seattle, WA USA | 06/11/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Finally, The Best Love I Ever Had is available to the public in this two-CD set. When I discovered this rare gem of an album (as a single CD in a bargain bin at a bargain music store), I was shocked and questioned my own taste when I discovered that the album's tracks were amazingly fine, unforgettable, stellar '70s soul. What were those marvelous songs doing here, sleeping on this obscure "budget"-produced album, with nary a word about them on the 'net (this was back in '02 or so) when I ran a Google search? Oh, well--at least it seems the word is getting out now, and late is better than never. So lie back, turn it up, and chill with some of the Ice Man's finest, most poignantly-delivered tunes of his career."

Two superb but underexposed albums from "The Iceman".

"Perhaps because they were both released at a time when disco ruled the charts these two albums' sales figures were dismal--the material on both, however, was nothing short of glorious and superb. Jerry Butler's reunion with Gamble and Huff resulted in some great Philly Soul with gorgeous numbers like "Let's Make Love", "Angel Face", "Would You Mind?", "Don't Be An Island" and both the disco and slow-tempo versions of "Nothing Says I Love You Like I Love You" being key cuts."
