Gladys Knight & The Pips Gold

At ten CDs and 200 tracks, this survey of 1970s pop features 20 songs from each year between 1970 and 1979.

100 Hits is back in February 2018 with 3 Brand New Releases! Housed in slick digipaks with stunning new stripped back design across 5CDs. The Best Soul Album contains the definitive Artists & Songs of Soul. The Best Hits from Sly & The Family Stone, Billy Ocean, McFadden & Whitehead, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Labelle, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, The O’Jays + many more..

The liner notes that accompany this collection note that '70s soul music has never really gotten its due. One could argue that point for days, but hubris aside, there's no denying that Can You Dig It pays serious homage to the golden years of American soul. The new box set contains 6 CDs and 136 cuts, 65 of which hit the No. 1 spot on the R&B and/or pop charts. As you'd expect with a project that mines such a rich era (the CDs are compiled chronologically), it represents a who's who of stars. Among the notables: Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, the Spinners, the O'Jays, the Staple Singers, James Brown, Chairmen of the Board, Laura Lee, Freda Payne, and Jean Knight. Lesser lights also get to shine, i.e., El Chicano, who deliver the salsafied hippie anthem "Tell Her She's Lovely." But let's be honest–the selling point is the hits, and from the uplifting "Ooh Child" to the sassy "Want Ads," if you grew up in the '70s (hands up), then these tracks are beloved. Sure, the hard-core fan will probably wish for more obscurities, and the exclusion of Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and George Clinton is troublesome, but anyone wanting an at-home jukebox loaded with classic R&B will certainly dig this.

Capital Gold plays only the best music from the major icons of pop and rock history including Elton John, Queen, Simon & Garfunkel, The Animals, Blondie, David Bowie, Tina Turner, The Moody Blues, Genesis, Roxette, Otis Redding and many others.
