| With Lionel Richie and the Commodores you just can't stand there. You gotta dance. I mean fast dance and slow dance. These guys are great. Would love to see them together again. They are the true funk masters.I highly recommend this group and CD. |

The Commodores' "Anthology" is indeed a masterpiece!
With lyrics so deep and real, the musics touch the soul from the crown of the head way down to the soles of the feet!
"Jesus Is Love" [CD2:Track #10] is my anthem!
In the late 70s, when I was a child, my daddy used to play, among other musics, the Anthology Album [LP]everyday and especially on Sundays. "Jesus Is Love" is so spiritual ... so inspirational ... so deep ... so touching ... so moving ... so profound ... so much so that each time I listen to the song I am so filled with goose bumps, that I am brought to tears - literally.
I had to get this CD ... it's one of the best gifts that I have given myself!

Best Of The Rest

This CD covers it all. For those of you who have brought some of the other "Best OF" CDs, STOP!
On a different note, alot of Artist are being offered, more than ever, in "BEST OF" formats. Please, buy the digital remastered versions, the sound is awesome. Stay away from the "reissued" released type. These are usually copied straight from the LP using obsolete recording technology. Better still, buy the digital release remastered by the Artist themselves. |

The Soul & R&B today doesn't really have a unique distinction for what made the sights and sounds of the classic Motown era. It definitely is quite a shame, because there are so many people in this generation who are more interested in Lindsay Lohan, Ashanti, and Beyonce' that haven't discovered classic soul from one of the most legendary eras. The same is sadly said for The Commodores. Throughout three decade of Funk, Soul, Pop, and R&B, Lionel Richie, Walter Orange and company have made some of the most irrestible hits ever showcased. Their unique blends of harmonies and songs have truly shaped the era of feel good music, and now it is stretched into one unique anthology.
The Commodores: Anthology is a well-recognized reflection of one of the most unique acts to have ever discovered out of the 70's. The double album deliver well in showcasing the classic Motown vibe, and reintroducing so much from classics of the past. The collection includes some great guilty pleasure delights like the classic party track Brick House, Lady (You Bring Me Up), their breakthrough smash Machine Gun, and laid back mellow ballads like Easy, Still, Just To Be Close To You, and the soulful Three Times A Lady. The album does a great job delivering everything that The Commodores had from beginning to end, while letting listeneres have a vivid imagination to Funk, Soul and Pop into one. Not bad for a group of guys from Tuskegee, Alabama.
The Commodres: Anthology is a fantastic compilation for die hard Motowns fanatics, and Commodres followers young and old. It is definitely worth the purchase. Howvever, if you are not interested into this great double disc storyteller, I definitely would suggest their '97 Ultimate Collection instead.

Solid, Festering Funk...

Mid-tempo grooves, poignant slow jams and the tasty love songs! Over the years, Motown has made some major missteps when re-issuing classic music, but this time around they actually hit the Bulleye! Even if you weren't around when these guys originally laid this material down, you can still enjoy it. If you want to catch Lionel before he became the "lovey dovey pop musical king" of the 80's, then you need to cop this double disc set of pure "Commodore" Heaven.
It is continuous enjoyment and listening pleasure...from the ever chart popular songs: Brickhouse, Lady (You Bring Me Up), Sweet Love and Night Shift to the less radio played but nonetheless spittin' fire tunes: High on Sunshine, Say Yeah, Fancy Dancer and Come Inside! Just check the harmonizning on "High On Sunshine." Phew! There is but one song missing I would have loved to have in the collection and that is the dynamite instrumental "Rapid Fire" from their "Machine Gun" album.
Nevertheless, you can not go wrong purchasing this package of pure, smoldering, TNT! I guarantee, you'll either be blowing the roof off the sucker, grooving and swaying or simply chilling depending upon what song is playing. I can guarantee you this too, when you do listen, you will not be disappointed and you'll take a trip to your past, while enjoying the present! Also, for a "live" feel of these fellas..pick up there "Commodores Live" Cd. I waited years for that gem to be re-issued and it was worth the very long wait!
