If Only... - Reviewed on 2007-04-15

This is a solid recording. You can put this on and listen all the way through. Mavis makes you believe her when she's singing. My favorites are Tellin'Lies, Grandma's hands and Heaven. On these recordings Mavis is at her absolute best. The previous reviewer made mention of moaning, yeah there's that and it feels like its coming from the bottom of her feet. If only they were all like this, worth every penny.

Raw Classic Definite Soul - Reviewed on 2007-03-17

3 customers found this review helpful.

This is a basic Gospel funky soul music album.
Released in 1974 by the Staple family brilliantly fused Gospel with a background Soul moaning and repetitions, almost in every song. Nothing more can be said about this album except that if you are collecting all the classic Soul albums Like Isaak Hayes, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield and Barry White; this album is a definite must and a plus to the Collection.
Highly recommended
