 Climb on Board December 24, 2005

Starting out in Ohio as The Mascots, Walter Williams, Robert Massey, William Powell, Edward Levert and William Isles signed with Gamble and Huff and the pop staples "Backstabbers" and "Love Train" were born. Massey and Powell left the group and Sam Strain was brought in. "Use ta be my Girl" was one of the later hits with this lineup. One correction from another review. The O'Jays recorded "Livin' For the Weekend", Loverboy's tune was "Working For the Weekend" from the "Get Lucky" album.

Bought this for The Apprentice theme song, "For the Love of Money" (which ROCKS) and ended up LOVING the song, "Livin' For the Weekend"! It's NOT the testesterone-fueled hit song by Loverboy, but a slow jam that builds and then blusters then slowing fades like a great weekend journey should!
Other standouts are "Love Train" amd "Give the People What They Want," pions to global peace, love and harmony with wicked hooks and grooves reminiscent of the band War.
This collection is PERFECT for those who want to hear the "Money, Money, Money" theme in full, and then stay for a perfect box of aural chocolates--not too many, all of them tasty!

what voices these brothers have and the force to lay something on your mind. together with the genius of Gamble&huff they created timeless enjoyable and social aware music.i agree with the other reviewer about i love music but still hearing soul music like this is so good you can buy all there stuff and it sounds solid.
Decent but Incomplete Collection June 27, 1998

The really big pop hits are here, with one curious exception: "I Love Music" is absent. Although the song can be found easily on other CDs, especially 70s collections, it is a mysterious omission on an otherwise affordable and satisfactory CD. All original versions, no liner notes.
