Karyn White's third album is one of the better R&B albums of the 90's. Way before TLC entered their mega-successful stage of career with "CrazySexyCool" Karyn White had released this gem, that easily ranks as the singer's very best effort. With production duties from Terry Lewis, Jimmy Jam (well tried duo responsible for mega-success of Janet Jackson) and Babyface (probably the 90's most successful R&B songwriter and producer) "Make Him Do Right" sounds almost like "Greatest Hits" album, because every single song has hit written all over it. "Can I Stay With You" could have been huge #1 hit in tradition of other Babyface-penned ballads, but her record label slept on it. The same can be said of "Here Comes The Pain Again" and "Nobody But My Baby".
This is a great collection of rare and hard to find tunes compiled by Jeffrey Glenn. Hundreds of odds & ends by little known groups, famous singers, and famous singers before they became famous.
It's no secret that Chuck Berry's songs are rock & roll standards, covered by more musicians than can be counted. That poses something of a problem for Ace's Rock & Roll Music! The Songs of Chuck Berry, a 2017 entry in their ongoing Songbook series. Where other collections in this line provide some kind of revelation about the composer, these songs are so well-known through their constant covers that having 24 songs collected on one disc doesn't stand as a testament to the composer; anybody paying attention to rock & roll music knows that Chuck Berry was a formidable writer.
