"(If you are looking for the more esoteric material, however, you may need to supplement this with other collections or individual albums."
"The only other music that is in the same "league" is The Beatles music for the complete and udder joy and emotional rescue these magnificent songwriters, musician's, producers, arrangers, techs, etc...etc...provided from both sides of the "pond.""
"HITSVILLE USA is a box set that's clearly marked as a SINGLES COLLECTION-- that means these 104 tracks are in the original monaural sound. Each CD jewel case is fronted with a repro of a Gordy Co. label, including one of the very first MOTOWNs, which was pale pink in color."
"Awesome compilation of old school music!"
"Some songs were put out by other singers but it's great to hear the Motown take."
"Some of the songs even brought tears to his eyes because, in his words, he had "not heard them since he was a young scrap of a boy"."
"My dad's one of those guys that doesn't like getting gifts, but I figured I'd grab him this collection for his birthday."

Best Southern Soul
The Very Best splits ballads and up-tempo stuff half-and-half, letting you hear the great one's humanity in every mood--the pile-driving rock of "Respect," the preaching fervor of "Try a Little Tenderness," the nascent reflection of "Dock of the Bay."
