Best Of The Chiffons - Chiffons

Advantages: Mind blowing musical masterpiece of one man's struggle to find himself
Disadvantages: weak 2nd disc

...musical rendition of George Harrison's beliefs, it is defiantly one of the best on the album. However, the success of 'My Sweet Lord' was short lived, when in march 1971, George was sued on the basis that he had borrowed too heavily from the song 'He's So Fine' by the Chiffons. George denied the claim; he was however sued successfully when the case finally went to court in 1976. Tracks To Look Out For: DISC 1: The triple album has in CD format being split into two separate Discs. Disc one consists of more conventional music, where disc two does seem to run of into sometimes utter bizarreness. Disc one out of the two is defiantly more likeable, and there is a collection of pure gems amongst the fourteen tracks featured on it. The first track to look out for is obviously 'My Sweet Lord'. I have never heard the Chiffon's song... Read review

Out of the corner of my eye, was that you passing me by?” The first single taken from the album, this surprisingly didn’t make the UK top 75 despite some MTV play and the previous release “Down So Long (1999) making number 38. This song is typical Jewel, but more upbeat pop, it sounds fine, nothing spectacular, I particularly like the first line lyric of “Cutting through the darkest night are my two headlights…”.
