Review title: Pretty pop, but NOT much soul!
Product review: Michael McDonald is undoubtedly a gifted musician but here he is WAY out of his league on this one. In Europe this album has been released as a special package with both of his Motown albums as a 2CD and knowing and loving the songs and Michael's reputation I did not hesitate.However, I was somewhat disappointed to discover that he has made these immortal tunes "pretty" and "accessible", but with little or absolutely no soul - which in my opinion is what Motown is/was all about.For REAL soul, instead turn to Ruby Turner's "Motown Song Book" from 1988 or for "white" soul: Daryl Hall's "Soul Alone" from the mid-90's or Hall & Oates' latest album: "Our Kind of Soul" from 2004. If you are a soul person, all three albums will get you up off your feet and are sure to floor McDonald again and again.........
