James Taylor – JT (1977) [1994, MasterSound Remastered, 24-Karat Gold]

James Taylor - JT (1977) [1994, MasterSound Remastered, 24-Karat Gold]

On his last couple of Warner Bros albums, Gorilla and In the Pocket, James Taylor seemed to be converting himself from the shrinking violet, too-sensitive-to-live “rainy day man” of his early records into a mainstream, easy listening crooner with a sunny outlook. JT, his debut album for Columbia, was something of a defense of this conversion. Continue reading “James Taylor – JT (1977) [1994, MasterSound Remastered, 24-Karat Gold]”

Andy Gibb – Discography (1977-1991)

Andy Gibb - Discography (1977-1991)

Once the Bee Gees experienced a career revival with the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in 1977, the Gibb brothers’ younger sibling Andy began his own solo career. Following his brothers’ disco style, Andy Gibb’s first three singles (“I Just Want to Be Your Everything,” “(Love Is) Thicker Than Water,” and “Shadow Dancing”) all hit number one. Three more consecutive Top Ten hits followed, cementing his overnight sensation status. Continue reading “Andy Gibb – Discography (1977-1991)”

Carole king – Tapestry (1971) [1994, MasterSound Remastered]

Carole king - Tapestry (1971) [1994, MasterSound Remastered]

Carole King brought the fledgling singer/songwriter phenomenon to the masses with Tapestry, one of the most successful albums in pop music history. A remarkably expressive and intimate record, it’s a work of consummate craftsmanship. Always a superior pop composer, King reaches even greater heights as a performer; new songs like the hits “It’s Too Late” and “I Feel the Earth Move” rank solidly with past glories Continue reading “Carole king – Tapestry (1971) [1994, MasterSound Remastered]”

Diana Ross – All The Great Hits (1981) [2018, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Diana Ross - All The Great Hits (1981) [2018, Reissue, Hi-Res SACD Rip]

Diana Ross is certainly a diva of goddess-like proportions. Whether joined by the Supremes, or out on her own, her voice is unmistakable and powerful, plus she possesses the uncanny ability to take songs penned by others and make them very much her own — to imbibe them with her very soul.

Norah Jones – Discography (2002 – 2012)

Norah Jones - Discography (2002 - 2012)

Vocalist and pianist Norah Jones developed a unique blend of jazz and traditional vocal pop, with hints of bluesy country and contemporary folk, due in large part to her unique upbringing. The daughter of Ravi Shankar, Jones grew up in Texas with her mother. While she always found the music of Billie Holiday and Bill Evans both intriguing and comforting, she didn’t really explore jazz until attending Dallas’ Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Continue reading “Norah Jones – Discography (2002 – 2012)”

Cilla Black - Completely Cilla: 1963-1973 (2012) [Box Set, 5CD + DVD]

Cilla Black wasn’t a natural singer when the Beatles’ manager, Brian Epstein, discovered her, and while she learned the ropes well enough and developed into a strong ballad singer, she was never a serious threat to Dusty Springfield in the talent department. But the pop world isn’t really about pure talent as much as it is a matter of timing, luck, having the right look, and maybe most of all, good material and good production Continue reading “Cilla Black – Completely Cilla: 1963-1973 (2012) [Box Set, 5CD + DVD]”

The Singles: 1969–1973 is an album by the brother/sister pop duo the Carpenters. A greatest hits collection, it topped the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom and became one of the best-selling albums of the 1970s. Features of this compilation include a newly recorded version of “Top of the World”, “Ticket to Ride” and a number of musical introductions and segues between the songs “Superstar”, “Rainy Days and Mondays” and “Goodbye to Love”, the latter two were sped up in pitch, much to the regret of Richard in subsequent years. It has been certified 7× platinum in the US alone. In the UK, the album reached number 1 for 17 (non-consecutive) weeks.

Jennifer Warnes became a household name in the ’70s with her hit “Right Time of the Night” and scored equally big with the Righteous Brothers’ Bill Medley on “The Time of My Life” from the film Dirty Dancing. She also wowed critics and fans alike with Famous Blue Raincoat, her album of Leonard Cohen songs. In all, she’s sold over 35 million records worldwide, but she’s hardly a household name.

Engelbert Humperdinck - Greatest Hits And More (2007)

As compilations go, Universal’s two-CD Greatest Hits and More might be the best sampling of Engelbert Humperdinck’s work that has yet appeared. All of his best-loved hits are here (including “Release Me,” “Les Bicyclettes de Belsize,” “Quando Quando Quando,” and “There Goes My Everything”), but there are also a few extra tidbits that should keep even longtime fans happy with the program — most notably, four brand new songs.
