Title: Charlotte's Mom hits a Home Run !!
Product review: If you like RLJ, then you will love this compilation. Digital re-mastering is a big plus for some of her early hits included here. There are only a few songs which I hoped would be included but are not on this compilation: "Ghetto of my Mind," "The Real End," and, "Rainbow Sleeves." Also missing is RLJ's masterful renditions of "Walk Away Rene," and "Under the Boardwalk." Thus, I can only give four stars to this otherwise remarkable retrospective. The third disc is very interesting from a songwriters / arrangers' perspective, with early demo versions that, in some cases, bear little resemblance to the versions which were eventually released on vinyl/disc. RLJ is a remarkably gifted songwriter and performer -- if you are unfamiliar with her recordings, this is an excellent place to start.
