Description:
At 16 tracks this CD covers all the important ground from this beloved band, and it reveals nuances not readily apparent when the group was together. In an era of folk, blues, and soul influences, Marilyn McCoo stood out because she was a torch singer who hearkened back to Billy Eckstein and Nat King Cole, and baby boomers will be amazed at how her already potent lungs are benefited by CD technology. The group's arrangements of songs by Jimmy Webb, Laura Nyro, Burt Bacharach, and others pack a wallop. And if, like most folks, you know of the band solely through AM radio or your scratchy greatest-hits LP, be prepared for a hefty selection of first-rate filler material, such as "Paper Cup," "Carpet Man," "On the Beach (In the Summertime)," and "The Girl's Song." This was a group who virtually defined the "sunny side" of the '60s, and even decades later, one can't help but get goosebumps hearing the optimistic anthem "Save the Country."
