Customer Reviews Major Lance CD Review I love classic R & B, and this CD met all of my expectations. theeee crystal clear voice in Baltimore, Maryland in the the late fifties, early sixties. I had the fortunate opportunity to see Major Lance, Dee Clark, James Brown & the Famous Flames, Ike & Tina Turner, and the list can go on and on at the Royal Theater on Pennsylvania Ave. I remember going almost every afternoon after school to see the movie matinees and later on in the evening, Major Lance and the above mentioned singers along with countless others would put on what were called stage shows (not concerts) two and three times a night. I definitely remember the voice of Major Lance with all the distinct clarity in the way he sang. My favorite is "Mama didn't know" followed by several well known all time classics, most of which were written by the great Curtis Mayfield. A definite must for a music buff of this genre. You are guaranteed a Good Time listening to this. Very few artists of this genre outside of the Tamla Motown stable could ever conceivably put together anything to rank with it. This collection encompasses the superb output of one of soul music's legends. Major Lance is able to capture the full range of emotion with his voice backed up with excellent orchestral arrangements mainly thanks to the writing of Curtis Mayfield. In my experience as a Northern Soul collector, I should make comment on the tracks that I particularly find of interest. These are, "Investigate", "You Don't Want Me No More", "It's The Beat", "Ain't No Soul" and of course, "Everybody Loves A Good Time". In their heyday these tracks especially were the standard by which other dance music was measured. Even almost 35 years on they still find a way on to most modern soul D. J. playlists. I recommend this collection to anybody with any interest in what is surely the epitome of "good old soul". You will not only have a Good Time, you will have a GREAT time!!!. .
