Some
of the most upbeat soul
of the 70s – a great run
of tracks from the Hot Wax and Invictus label – home to the post-Motown efforts
of the team
of Holland Dozier Holland! The trio created a whole new sort
of Detroit groove at the time – a style that was often at its best when grooving – in styles that would be copped by some
of the disco generation a few years later, but which have a lot more bite in these earlier recordings – the kind
of joyous, spontaneous fire that we love from some
of the other titles in the Free Soul series! As with other Free Soul collections, there's a huge amount
of music here – 26 tracks clocking in at over 80 minutes – with tracks that include "You Made Me Over" by Melvin Davis, "Touch Me Jesus" by The Glass House, "All We Need Is Understanding" by
Chairmen Of The
Board, "I Shall Not Be Moved" by Freda Payne, "Why Can't We Be Lovers" by Lamont Dozier, "Mama's Little Baby" by Brotherly Love, "Ain't It Good Feelin Good" by Eloise Laws, and "Frightened Girl" by Silent Majority.
