"A Soulful Tale Of Two Cities"

I finally found the time to let you know that one of the hottest cds for me this year is
"A Soulful Tale Of Two Cities" a two-CD set. It has Classic Motown and Philly soul artists collaborating and putting a new spin on classic tracks. I'm really not a big fan of remakes,
but for me this is a match made in heaven with
Phil Hurtt, Bobby Eli of MFSB,Lamont Dozier, and a legendary lineup featuring Clay McMurray, Gene Leone, The Funk Brothers, Bunny Sigler,Bobby Taylor, Freda Payne, Barbara Mason, George Clinton, Kathy Sledge , and one of the pioneers of Philadelphia radio Carl Helm.
One one disc "Philly does Motown" and on the other"Motown does Philly."
On The "Philly does Motown" side they do two of my favorite Stevie Wonder tunes,
Jean Carne's recreates "Higher Ground
and
Jimmy Ellis of the Trammps
does his thing with Isn't She Lovely.
But for me Bunny Sigler really brings it on Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up."
Flip to the Motown Side
and
Ollie Woodson of the Temptations makes "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" his",
Lamont Dozier rekindling a love affair with Me and Mrs. Jones,
and
Legendary Bobby Taylor(The Vancouvers)
takes you back in the day with his rendition of "Sunshine".
This is truly a must have in your musical collection.
