Stevie Wonder is a much-beloved American icon and an indisputable genius not only of R&B but popular music in general. Blind virtually since birth, Wonder's heightened awareness of sound helped him create vibrant, colorful music teeming with life and ambition. Nearly everything he recorded bore the stamp of his sunny, joyous positivity; even when he addressed serious racial, social, and spiritual issues (which he did quite often in his prime), or sang about heartbreak and romantic uncertainty, an underlying sense of optimism and hope always seemed to emerge. Much like his inspiration, Ray Charles, Wonder had a voracious appetite for many different kinds of music, and refused to confine himself to any one sound or style. His best records were a richly eclectic brew of soul, funk, rock & roll, sophisticated Broadway/Tin Pan Alley-style pop, jazz, reggae, and African elements – and they weren't just stylistic exercises; Wonder took it all and forged it into his own personal form of expression.

Dionne Warwick - Love At First Sight (1977) [2000, Japan] Music

Posted by BlondStyle at Nov. 15, 2022

Produced by the hit production team of Steve Barri and Michael Omartian (Rhythm Heritage's #1 pop hit "Theme from S.W.A.T,"), Dionne Warwick's 1977 Warner Bros. LP "Love at First Sight" came closest in pop ethics to her earlier sides on Scepter. Serving as a reminder of those days is the wispy ballad "Do I Have to Cry" and the perky "Early Morning Strangers," which were co-written by Hal David, who co-wrote Warwick's '60s and early-'70s hit classics with Burt Bacharach. The upbeat first single, "Do You Believe in Love at First Sight," was one of the catchier tracks off the singer's '70s records. However, the cornerstone of the LP was the atmospheric "Don't Ever Take Your Love Away," co-written by Issac Hayes. The Barry Mann/Cynthia Weil charmer "Long Way to Go" is closest in theme to Warwick's favorite song, "Windows of the World."

Love Songs: Gold Review by Andy Kellman
A two-disc grab-bag compilation spanning several decades and genres, Hip-O's Love Songs: Gold fares well for a release that's so broad and seemingly random. It's certain that no one could possibly have a strong stomach for all 40 of the selections (let alone any given 30), and there are some very polarizing hits here, where fans and haters feel equally passionate (Peaches & Herb's "Reunited," Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You," Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last," Extreme's "More Than Words," Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories' "Stay"). There are just as many long-established classics that are almost universally adored, including a crop of Motown hits (the Temptations' "My Girl," Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing," Gaye's "Let's Get It On"), Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," and Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe." There's also a healthy supply of '90s hits, which shouldn't be problematic for those who don't get hung up on whether or not Sisqó and Chicago deserve to share space with Etta James and Smokey Robinson.

Posted by BlondStyle at Sept. 20, 2023

Originally released on Columbia, these two Vikki Carr albums zero in on easy listening versions of popular love songs from the '60s and early '70s. The rather formulaic treatments work best on the well-known compositions of the period, especially "If You Could Read My Mind," "For All We Know," and "So Far Away."
