I finally got hold of the CD for £5! a bargain here in UK. So i thought
i would review an UPGRADE Here as it was also requested. I reviewed this back in 2021 Courtesy Of Trinity....This is the first ever compilation dedicated
to the distinctive and influential productions of Norman Whitfield.
You’ll find all time classics such as Marvin Gaye’s ‘I Heard It Through
The Grapevine’, the Temptations’ ‘Papa Was A Rolling Stone’ and Rose
Royce’s ‘Love Don’t Live Here Anymore’, alongside lesser known soul gems
from the 70s. Compiled by Bob Stanley, who also put together the
acclaimed, big-selling Thom Bell “Ready Or Not” set, it’s the perfect introduction to Whitfield’s work. Atmospheric,
cinematic things like Rare Earth’s ‘Come With Me’ sit alongside
floor-fillers such as David Ruffin’s wild ‘Me And Rock & Roll (Are
Here To Stay)’.Whitfield started out at Motown and worked up to his
instantly recognisable, dark, orchestrated sound. By the turn of the 70s
he was the king of ‘psychedelic soul’, a genre that he basically
invented, selling millions of records along the way. He was responsible
for the Temptations’ second wave of hits, including party classic
‘Psychedelic Shack’. Whitfield concentrated on the Undisputed Truth, a
group he put together and kept in his roster when he started his own
Whitfield label in 1975. “Psychedelic Soul” is an illuminating
cross-selection from Norman Whitfield’s exceptional career. I always enjoyed his distinctive sound as i,m sure most of you do also!
