The Best of Sisters

The Roberta Martin Singers were an African-American gospel group based in the United States. The group was founded in 1933 by Roberta Martin, who in that same year had just become acquainted with gospels music, which was different from the traditional spirituals which were popular at the time. Theodore Frye and Thomas A. Dorsey were directing a junior choir at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois, and asked Martin to serve as the accompanist. From this junior choir, Martin selected six young men at random to form a group, Eugene Smith, Norsalus McKissick, Robert Anderson, Willie Webb, James Lawrence, and W.C. Herman. This group was named the Martin and Frye Singers, and in 1936, the group adopted the name of The Roberta Martin Singers. The Roberta Martin Singers (RMS) contained no traditional bass. For a brief period of time, the group was known as the Martin and Martin Singers, when Sallie Martin joined Roberta's group.

The Best of Barbara Mandrell collects her biggest hits from the late '70s, including "After the Lovin", "Married But Not to Each Other", "Tonight", "Woman to Woman", and "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed".

Robbie Nevil first came to prominence in the late '70s and early '80s as a songwriter. He wrote hits songs for such acts as: El DeBarge, Earth Wind & Fire, Al Jarreau, Kool & the Gang, and the Pointer Sisters. In the mid-'80s Capitol was focusing on launching a new pop label, Manhattan, and after an audition, Nevil was the label's first signing. He released two albums for the Manhattan label in 1986 and 1988, then another for EMI in 1991 before abandoning singing and returning to a songwriting and production career. Wot's It to Ya compiles the best songs of Nevil's singing career from his three albums including his three Top 20 hit singles, "C'est la Vie," "Dominoes," and the title track, "Wot's It to Ya." Practically forgotten in the glut of mid-'80s pop music, this is the first and only compilation of Robbie Nevil's musical legacy.

A well-chosen, 20-track compilation derived from the group's three best albums (Kimono My House, Propaganda, and Indiscreet), released during their brief, productive tenure with Island Records. Producers Muff Winwood (for the first two, harder-rocking albums) and Tony Visconti (the more varied and elaborately arranged Indiscreet) both provide the Mael brothers with solid, sympathetic settings for their witty, rapid-fire lyrics and manic delivery.

Power pop is a form of pop rock based on the early music of bands such as the Who, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Byrds. It originated in the mid 1960s as young music fans began to rebel against the emerging pretensions of rock music, and developed mainly among American musicians who came of age during the British Invasion. The genre typically incorporates melodic hooks, vocal harmonies, an energetic performance, and "happy"-sounding music underpinned by a sense of yearning, longing, or despair.

The Best Of Sun Rockabilly Compilation was released in 1986 on the Charly label. Best Of Sun Rockabilly CD music contains a single disc with 22 songs.

The Best of Collin Raye contains all of the contemporary country singer's biggest hits and best-known songs – including "Every Second", "That Was a River", "Little Rock", "One Boy, One Girl", "Not That Different", and the number one singles "Love, Me", "In This Life", and "My Kind of Girl" – making it an excellent introduction to the popular vocalist.
