Review
You won't find any faults with this collection. Felix Hernandez plays Classic Soul on Jammin' 105.1 FM in New York Saturday Mornings, and Sunday Nights. He sponsors popular, packed-to-the-walls dances at the Roseland where patrons boogie from nine p.m. Saturday Evening to four a.m. Sunday Morning. The tracks represent what Hernandez broadcasts and plays at his dances. He includes both sides of Archie Bell & the Drell's "Tighten Up," and Gene Chandler's "Rainbow 65." Innocent soul by the Lovelites "How Can I Tell My Mom And Dad," and Jan Bradley's "Mama Didn't Lie" play alongside harder edged cuts by Theola Kilgore ("The Love Of My Man,") and James Browns' "Lost Someone." Soul in every form from the Five Stairsteps' dreamy "World Of Fantasy," to Otis Redding's demanding "Respect," nothing but hits, hits, and more hits - a whopping 53 tracks. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music GuideTracks
