Kings And Queens (The Best Panjabi Roots Music) - Various Artists

Advantages: One of the greatest soul albums of all time
Disadvantages: ---

...years which, to put it nicely, has been erratic. But to completely abhor the world that Aretha lives in would discount the fact that she has done so much, reached that stratusphere of perfection, gone so deep into the psyche and touched the deepest part of so many people's souls; that her fans's couldn't help but fanatically idolize her . If black culture's basic roots lie in the matriarchal aesthetic of the black church, Aretha franklin had a hold of more branches than most of everybody. At her best, she isn't just a great artist, she's a historical figure. Lady soul. The queen of soul. The last of the great female gospel communicators,( Mahalia Jackson, Clara ward, Marion Williams) who singlehandedly gave a people back a piece of their culture. When she got her first gold record , Martin Luther King was her presenter. ( She later sang... Read review

Advantages: All of his Best Tracks, Amazing, Wicked Music
Disadvantages: Front Cover????

...Panjabi MC - The Album is all of panjabi mc's best work to date on one CD. It has got to be worth it because panjabi mc is a great artist. He was the first asian producer to break on to the UK industry with the famous 'Mundian To Bach Kay' with the famous Knightrider tune in it. Panjabi mc is not an mc anymore but just a producer.

I guess, in a way, it makes listening to it more enjoyable as I can create my own magical moments to pair up with the music! 3) Circle Of Life (The Lion King) Oh wow! That first cry…the holler…it brings back so much memories in bar one! And as for the rest of the track, I could sit and cry! In a positive way though! It's such a magical track, I think Circle Of Life has to be an iconic song for Disney... Read review
