Love Soul Classics

by Love Soul Classics / Various

Overview

Hip-O's sultry love collection, Love Soul Classics, captures the mood's most romantic songs and favorite cuts from the 1970s and 1980s. It's not entirely original, since similar compilations of this sort typically aim for the smooth soul of Barry White (who is indeed included on this album), expecting the mood to carry throughout. Thankfully, this record lets other top notch artists in the adult contemporary realm shine through: Atlantic Starr, Rick James, Teena Marie, Ready for the World, New Edition, and more. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
