1998年リリースのベスト盤。オリジナルアルバム全6枚のうち、1枚目と Jam & Lewis 絡みの5枚目から3曲ずつ、残り4枚から2曲ずつを選曲、1枚目から順に並べた律儀な編集です。頭3曲というか Luther の2曲に尽きる気もなきにしもあらずですが...

1971(?)年作品。その筋の方々が喜ぶ超マイナー盤。社会派(?)の New Jersey 4人組。一人ラテン系らしき人がいらっしゃるのですが、妙にハマっていて笑えます。

The 8th Day 名義の1971年発売の1枚目と1973年の2枚目のカップリング。
"Holland, Dozier & Holland didn't have any (actual) groups... they used to go in and record a bunch of tracks (which) they would put out under (various names). When (anthing) hit, then they put a group together..." ANTONIO 'TONY' NEWTON (HDH session bassist/member of 100 Proof Aged In Soul & the 8th Day 1968-73) *ライナー冒頭より引用
1枚目の1曲目から、1970年の 100 Proof の1枚目収録で、The 8th Day 名義のシングルもありという、一皿で三つのテーブルに使いまわしという荒技です。ま、この怒涛の勢いの前には、「あんた誰?」なんてささいな(?)問題でいちいち目くじらたててる暇はありませんが。
2枚目には Melvin Davis 作のイカす曲もありますし、彼の喉を堪能するためにもこの際まとめて揃えておきましょう。
somebody's been sleeping in my bed / 100 proof aged in soul DISC ONE SOMEBODY'S BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED 1. Somebody's Been Sleeping [album version] / 2. Love Is Sweeter (The Second Time Around) / 3.

I'm Mad As Hell (Ain't Gonna Take No More) [Part 2]
1970年の1枚目と1972年の2枚目のカップリング。これは最強の組み合わせと期待が大き過ぎたせいでしょうか、これだけのヴォリュームをMP3で通すと、2人揃ってゴリゴリと押しまくって来るので、けっこうキツいものがありました。昨日の Melvin Davis はスロー/ミディアムでサム・クック風味を醸し出すのが効いてたようです。
今日聞いた1枚 PROUD / Heather Small. BVCP-21136 (74321-78612-2) (2000 BMG Funhouse Japan) 1. Proud / 2. Holding On / 3. Wherever The Road Goes / 4. Don't Look For Love / 5. Ease Your Troubled Mind / 6.

2000年のソロデビュー作。と言われても私の偏ったアンテナではそもそも M People 自体を拾えてなかったので、まったく存じ上げないお方でした。中央やや下よりに配した白のフォントが気に入りジャケ買いです。

To Be Happy Is The Real Thing / 20. Save The Children
1995年発売のベスト盤。Cowboys To Girls の一発屋のような印象があり、それほど巧いという感じもなかったので、じっくり聴いたことはなかったのですが...
このほのぼのとしたいい雰囲気はなんでしょう、下手ウマとでも言いましょうか。Paul Simon に至るまで実に味のある20曲です。

1992年のデビュー作。今となってはタバコ銭コーナーの常連と化した1枚ですが、当時は Keith Sweat に曲を提供後ということもありかなり話題でした。

2006年リリース作品。今回の出だしは William DeVaughn かと思いましたよ。途中には Billy Stewart も来て、なるほどこの路線の方が合っていますか。何とも心地よい1枚ではありますが...

1995年の1枚目。一人 Boyz II Men というところでしょうか。唸れる分、このお兄ちゃんのほうが聴き応えあったりして...
