Title: Of course the new artists are "standing in the shadows"
Review: I will attempt to keep this review short and sweet. This album is a compilation of old Motown hits, with the vocals done by contemporary artists. On the whole, I thought it came off very well. Some of the criticism of this album relates to the "new vocalists". One has to remember you cannot go home again; you cannot step into the same river twice. So, of course, in the ears of the reviewers the new vocalists can't touch the originals. I'm not sure that I disagree on that point. But to put this whole project down because of who was selected to sing the songs seems whiney. The newer artists do a very credible job carrying the burden they are asked to -- being compared to the originals. This is a fun album and should be approached in that context. Consider it a tribute to the past.
