Customer Reviews:

Great Hits!.......2007-03-28

This is, indeed, a wonderful collection of hits, performed by one of my favorite groups from yester-year. It's well worth the price...

Best of the Friends of Distinction.......2007-03-09

This is a CD that I could tend to forget about just because so much is out new since I first heard it. Then once I did, it took me back to such a great time in my life and I know I could really never forget that sound and this great music. I'm sure glad I "rediscovered" it again.

THE FRIENDS HAVE BEEN DISSED........2006-08-26

THOUGH I LIKE MANY OF THE SONGS ON THIS COMPILATION I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE THE ALBUMS FROM WHICH THEY WERE OBTAINED. THERE ARE THREE ALBUMS THAT I THINK SHOULD BE IN CD FORMAT AND THEY ARE "REAL FRIENDS", "WHATEVER" AND "FRIENDS AND PEOPLE". WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THESE MARKETERS THINKING? THERE ARE SONGS ON THESE ALBUMS THAT REALLY SHOULD BE HEARD AND INCLUDE "LADY MAE", "WILLA FAY" AND A WONDERFUL VERSION OF THE SONG "PEOPLE".

They were magnificent..........2006-05-11

The Friends of Distinction were one of the Best Soul Groups of the 60's and early 70's. You actually cannot put them in just one category, because they delved into Pop music and some of the more soulful R&B ballads with expertise that was unsurpassed in that era. "Grazin In the Grass" was a monster hit and you could not help but sing along every time you heard the song("and the bir-hir-hir-hirrrrrds dartin'... in and out of the trees!!!")...PERIOD. It was a fun song to listen to and to sing. My favorite for this group of all time is the very blusey "I Really Hope You Do" and "You Got Me Going In Circles" which in my estimation riveled some other soul groups like The Delfonics and the The Temptations with it's silky smooth delivery. Mannnn!!! I could listen to that a million times. I also liked "Love or Let Me Be Lonely" which was a great pop smash hit in it's own right(the horn and string arrangements were simply fabulous). They were absolutely... "the BOMB."

Just like a remembered it!.......2006-03-23

Crazy Mary still sounds great - just like back in the day!
