Phil Collins has followed in the path or Michael McDonald, Joan Osborn, and Rod Stewart. Which just shows how GREAT the Motown sound was.
The thing he is missing is a soulful sound. I'm glad he came out with a new album. If you like him, buy it. If you like good covers of Motown songs....buy the others that I mentioned by McDonald, Osborn (who does absolutely the best cover of Heatwave) or Rod Stewart's.
If you love Motown though....STANDING IN THE SHADOWS of MOTOWN is an AMAZING SOundtrack and Documentary.
What's great about it: Good songs
What's not so great: No Soul
Pros: it's motown songs...., good back up band
I would recommend this to a friend!

What a piece of JUNK

the gizmo has no use if it can't get a signal. In the past I had a C330 which was amazing!!!! this was an upgrade to a smaller unit that also wasn't great at getting a signal...but was better then this junk returning it today!
What's great about it: screen size
What's not so great: 20 minutes of highway driving on a clear highway and can't get a signal
This album is great...all of the Best Buy stores should carry it. They should also carry STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN. It was the previous album that made me seek this out. For those who don't know, the Funk Brothers were the house band for all the greatest hits that came from the Motown Label. I don't know who the people are that did the vocals but my oh my....what a great job. Even songs that were done by groups that I didn't like...made me like then songs. This is a must for any collection.
What's great about it: The vocals are amazingly strong as are the instrumentals.
What's not so great: NOT A CHANCE....Can You spell NONE?
