I couldn't have put it better myself Advantages: authentic, soulful, featuring stars Disadvantages: expensive, without key band members, rough The title of the CD, in my opinion, fits perfectly. The Funk Brothers, I am convinced after listening to the tracks that they were the unsung heros. Just listen to way that the snare drum is tuned each song to fit the key. Just listen to the way the musicians can combine funk and soul into one complete package. Just listen to how close the tambourine is in your eears. 'Standing In The Shadows Of Motown' is, in my opinion a great film and the soundtrack ... ...from the Funk Brothers are there and there are some very special guests indeed. Chaka Kahn & Montell Jordan provide an uplifting duet for the song Ain't No Mountain High Enough after Ben Harper provides a subtly smooth version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine. However, as touched upon before, many of The Funk Brothers are sadly not with us today and therefore not on the recording. Overall, this CD is great for those who are obsessed with motown, ...

Soul Diva Sings Jazz & Blues Advantages: The wonderful tracks My Man, Don't Explain etc Disadvantages: The dialogue interupts musical flow Lady Sings The Blues premiered to an eager, anticipating audience in October 1972. The public flocked in droves to the cinemas to see this much-hyped film, whilst critics watched intensley and eagerly sharpened their pencils. Soul singer and Motown legend, Diana Ross controversially took the role of the tortured Jazz legend, Billie Holiday and deservedly won wide critical acclaim for her harrowing and riviting performance in the film which subsequently ... ...Other highlights on the Lady Sings The Blues soundtrack (1972)range from the sassy Gimme A Pigfoot And A Bottle Of Beer, an almost frivoulous song, seemingly screaming out about fun and rebellion, to the playful tone of Love Is Here To Stay, to the restrained anguish in her voice on You're Mean To Me and to her more bubbly presentation of What A Little Moonlight Can Do. Diana displays such yearning naievity which was so true to Billies style on I ...

Love Changes Everything or does it? Advantages: Original London cast music Disadvantages: CD Could get scratched, some songs are long This CD gives the whole music from the London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Aspects of Love". "Aspects of Love" did not last a long time at London but the music is very moving especially one song called "Love Changes Everything". This Cd includes all the songs from the musical "Aspects of Love" and would be great to a musical collecter or anyone really. There are a couple of long songs on this CD that are the full version and can last a ... no1superstar 24.06.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Aspects Of Love - Original London Cast	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

The worst film I have seen in many years Advantages: Good cast whose lines will have you rolling in the aisles Disadvantages: Good cast wasted on a completely cack film. Plotless, one-dimensional and unfathomable ...film, appears to hold a secret that everyone in the film seems to want to know. By the time you get to the end of this very long film neither the viewer nor any of the cast appear to know what this AMAZING secret is. The film is burdened by plot changes, an awful script and the general feeling that none of the cast appear to enjoy being part of the film. Add to this the terribly annoying background music, designed to add mystery to the film, and ... ...wooden that if it rained on set the actors would rot. When the camera is covered in sand (which it frequently is throughout the film, obscurring the actual scenes) it is a blessing. However the fight scenes are quite good. I never did figure out why there appears to be thousands of horses in the film and only a couple of camels though. The best actors in this film are undeniably the snakes (a rubber snake which a careful viewer will observe being ... princekieran79 26.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: not helpful Review of Secret Of The Sahara - Ennio Morricone	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

High Fives all round! Advantages: good mix, energetic, fun Disadvantages: / When I was a bit younger, I used to watch Australian kids show Hi 5 on Milkshake every morning religiously before school. It is a programme aimed at pre-school and primary school children, teaching them various things through the methods of song and dance. Naturally, there are five presenters, all of which are Australian. Okay so the education side is a bit young fo rme, but I do find the music very entertaining on the show! Now I do not have the ... ...I did buy one of their several albums. This one was Hi 5 Hits. This album is very attractive, a very colourful cover with little cartoon images of the band: Nathan Foley, Charley Delaney, Tim Harding, Kellie Crawford (then Hoggart), and Kathleen de Leon. It is very bright and draws your attention in for sure! Looking on the back I noticed there were a total of twenty one songs. I will let you discover the wonders of them all yourself, but to give ...
