Review

The Greatest Soul Album of All Time collects early soul and R&B hits from the '50s and '60s, including Bob & Earl's "Harlem Shuffle," Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is," the Dells' "Oh What a Night," Sam & Dave's "Soul Man," and Lloyd Price's "Stagger Lee." Brenton Wood's "Gimme Little Sign," Inez's "Mocking Bird," the Temptations' "My Girl," and Jackie Wilson's "Reet Petite" are among the other highlights of this diverse, entertaining collection. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
