I agree with you. According to the statistics, 8 million people die from smoking per year. That's an enormous number. By the way, would Eddie have lived longer if she had vaped instead of smoking?...

No, to be honest I didn't.

I have to respectfully disagree with OP about the Jones Girls' debut album being their best. Their debut was really a solid one, containing two of their signature showstoppers, "Who Can I Run To" and...

On this day, August 7, 1970, Stevie Wonder's twelfth studio album, Signed, Sealed &...

If I'm not mistaken, the DVD that came out a decade ago featured the full-length version. I could be wrong about this, as I faintly remember there was a scene with the Tempts sitting on a stage and...

Still no mono iteration of Lady Soul that has been repressed. Bummers.

Yes, yes, and yes! Long overdue.

This wasn't necessarily a box set retrospective per se, but it came very close to being a pretty exhaustive anthology that covered the full scope of Roger Troutman and Zapp's artistry.

Gladys Knight and the Pips are way overdue of the honor. I wonder if haphazard licensing deals from various labels have prolonged the curation of a career-spanning. multi-disc retrospective from ever...

Aretha put some ethereal stank on this one, so I have to go with her. However, I will say that Gladys didn't do a bad job either.

They're not legit. They're unauthorized bootlegs from overseas, sourced from vinyl and pressed on CD-Rs. I did my own needle drops of the later-day Atlantic albums [[sans 'Sparkle,' as Rhino reissued...

Back in 2012, it was announced that Universal, in conjunction with Aretha's own label, were planning deluxe reissues for her later-day albums on Atlantic. Nothing materialized and plans were scrapped...

I'm a little skeptical about the audio sources for these Ultra Vybe reissues. I'll be passing on these for now until I get updates on the sound quality. The packaging for these reissues look...

Happy 35th to DeBarge's 1982 gold-selling breakthrough, All This Love! Came across this well-done feature on this...

Yes. It's possibly one of my favorite album covers, in general. The stark gray-scale portrait with Diana's stripped-down look. It fits the overall tone of the music and the post-disco era it was...

Couple of my favorites:

The album’s most recognizable number, “Girl You Need a Change of Mind” [[US pop #87, R&B #13), is an expansive, seven-minute workout with proto-disco and funk sensibilities that predated disco by a...
