What the Critics Say
Rhino Records' entry into what was becoming the crowded field of James Brown hits compilations was a 12-track album beginning with "Please, Please, Please" (1956) and running through "I Got The Feelin'" (1966). In between, it contained all six of Brown's #1 R&B hits of the period, most of which were also among his biggest pop hits. After that, the selection was a bit more idiosyncratic, including such selections as a live version of "I'll Go Crazy" that barely grazed the R&B Top 40, as well as "Ain't That A Groove," which wasn't as big a hit as many other Brown singles that were not included. Brown had so many hits during the period that any selection would sound good, but it's hard to recommend this set over Polydor's The Best Of James Brown or The CD Of JB or Solid Smoke's Can Your Heart Stand It! ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
