5 out of 5 stars Great.......2007-01-15

I luv this CD, i keep playing it over, old school is the best school.

4 out of 5 stars Billy at his best from 1971-76........2007-01-10

Unfortunately, most of Billy Paul's early Philadelphia International LPs have yet to be reissued on CD--which is shameful as they rank among the classiest recordings which the label ever issued. Billy Paul was strongly influenced by such great Jazz crooners as Nat King Cole and Billy Eckstine--not surprisingly, he brought a degree of class and sophistication to the "Philly Sound" that only Lou Rawls would be able to duplicate. This CD offera a very fine (if incomplete) overview of his 1971-76 recordings. NOTE: If anyone from Sony Legacy reads this review I urge you to consider reissuing Billy's "Going East" and "Feeling Good At The Cadillac Club" on CD.

5 out of 5 stars Brought back memories...........2005-12-23

This is an awesome CD!!! I had forgotten just how soulful Billy Paul is and how he was a strong voice for us in the '70's.
His rendition of "Blusette" is worth the price alone. Not a bad track on the entire album.

5 out of 5 stars TOTALLY AWESOME PHILLY CLASSICS~BRAVO BILLY PAUL!!!.......2004-05-29

Rich and mellow tones and lots of passion make Billy Paul a peerless singer who is sadly overlooked even with the #1 Masterpiece "Me And Mrs. Jones" which was one of the biggest hits of the 70's and all the rest in this great collection match this classic!!! Dexter Wansel wrote and the brilliant Bobby Martin arranged the sentimental and moody "Billy's Back Home" plus the incredible Gamble/Huff "Black Wonders Of The World" which is a mesmerizing musical journey with Billy all over the map with a total engrossing vocal that is unlike anything I have ever heard in my life and guaranteed you will use the repeat button more than once on this gripping masterpiece!! Billy steals "Let 'Em In" from Paul McCartney and makes an athem for equality while saluting greats of the past making this a cooker that is totally unforgettable. As this great collection progresses you will realize that no male voice quite matches this one as it is incredibly great with a wonderful loose jazz sense to it that is winning and unusual. "Be Truthful To Me" has a driving rhythm and a great soulful vocal that is amazing and so loose and funky!!! Never had anyone done an Elton John cover that matches Billy's engaging take on "Your Song" and does it ever cook and I always use the repeat button on this awesome stunner!!! So loose and so soulful is this incredible singer that I cannot get enough of this guy as he is incomparable and makes all these great songs his own and the definitive versions!!! Just get this collection and by the time you get this far you will realize that you have made a rare musical discovery that is going to give you years of pleasure from here on out!!! "Thanks For Saving My Life" is another awesome cooker and every song throughtout this incredible collection will blow you away-guaranteed!!! Bravo Billy!!!! You are awesome and I wish you the best of everything life can give as you deserve it...
