Beautiful listening music.
You can understand the words, and the music is so good for easy listening. Paul Kelly's music is very smooth and easy on the ears. Where is he now? He should be ranked among the top r & B stars. He's right up there with Luther Vandross, Al Green & others of this quality singing.

I hope that he produces more of this quality music.


Essential Classic Soul Recording
I picked up a single of "Stealin' in the Name of the Lord" at a garage sale. I was amazed by the disc, amazed that for being as good as it is, I had never heard of it. It is an uptempo indictment of preachers who get rich at the expense of the faithful. Then I read about Kelly and found this disc. It is INCREDIBLE! He brings to mind many classic soul artists without being derivative. Any of you who loved Motown, Atlantic & Stax-Volt soul, MUST get this CD! "Poor But Proud" is a slow mournful # about overcoming tribulation. "Dirt" is a soul march that brings to mind Edwin's Starr's "25 Miles. " "Come By Here" is a steller track; Kelly is revved as he sings, "I'll be with you till the end. " Kelly croons a soulful invitation in "Come With Me. " A slow gospel choir backs "I Wanna Get Next to You. " Paul builds a slow burn in "Come Lay Some Lovin' On Me. " One of the classic tracks you'll wonder how radio missed is the midtempo anthem "Don't Burn Me. " "I'll be a fool for you, but don't burn me. " "I'm Into Something I Can't Shake Loose" is traditional soul funk. Kelly hits a Joe Tex-like groove on "Hooked, Hogtied & Collared. " "Take It Away from Him & Put It On Me" bounces. Another great classic radio missed is "Let Your Love Come Down (Let It Fall On Me). " This is one the Spinners might have done so sweetly; and Kelly milks it with emotion. He caresses the slow love song "You Make Me Tremble. " "Till I Get My Baby's Love" is another hidden classic, a fast soul-pop that could rank with the best of the Temptations. "Play Me A Love Song" is buoyed with strong supporting vocals. "Get Sexy" is a soft James Brown workout. Paul goes for a sultry blues feeling on "Love for Sale. " "Stealin' Love on the Side" is a smooth track in "Me & Mrs. Jones" territory. The CD ends with what could be a Billy Preston track, "God Can. " "He can take an empty space and make a universe. " This CD is all the more incredible when you realize that Kelly wrote or cowrote almost all of the songs here. This CD is the soul diamond in the rough. You snooze, you lose! Don't miss it!.


perfect gift for the soul fan who THINKS they have it all
I bought it from the great title, and reading the plug on the back of the disc (and b/c Warners Archives series have seldom steered me too wrong): "It's almost pointless to write that Paul Kelly's is one of soul's greatest voices, you know it when you hear it - this is the very real deal. Talk about the perfect impulse buy. " -Bob Merlis. hearing this disc is like experienceing what Motown's CD of "lost" Marvin Gaye music promised: These are songs that SHOULD have been hits, but didn't end up being hits. So hearing them now allows you the joy of learning the songs for the first time, without having had oldies radio pound them into the ground. Fine smooth soul. And if you already have this and like it, then may I please suggest checking out Blues Got Soul by King Ernest, another lost soul who never got heard anywhere as much as he should have.


Best of Paul Kelly
This album is permantly on my CD player. If you think of yourself as a Soul fan and have not heard of Paul Kelly you dont know what you are missing. A Soul classic up there with Otis Redding. Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye. Listen and be healed. Hallelujah.


Paul Kelly should be revived! He's up there with the best!
I'm glad to see that his album is listed. Paul Kelly is one of the few talents that got lost along the way. His songs is mellow and easy to listen to. He should be mention right along with Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass, and etc. Here's hoping to hear more from Paul.
