1	Songs in the Key of Life (1976) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist Songs in the Key of Life was Stevie Wonder's longest, most ambitious collection of songs, a two-LP (plus accompanying EP) set that -- just as the title promised -- touched on nearly every issue under the sun, and did it all with ambitious (even for him), wide-ranging arrangements and some of the best performances of Wonder's career. The opening ... see all copies from £6.74! new only from £10.93!
2	The Ultimate Collection (1995) more music like this by The Jackson 5 add to wishlist The first single-disc Jackson 5 collection to take full advantage of the compact-disc medium, The Ultimate Collection is certainly the ultimate for any but the most hardcore fans. Ranging from 1969's "I Want You Back" to 1975's "I Am Love, Pts. 1-2," these 21 tracks include each of the group's hits, among them "ABC," "The Love You Save," "I'll Be ... see all copies from £7.43! new only from £9.45!
3	Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this by Earth, Wind & Fire add to wishlist see all copies from £5.32! new only from £6.44!
4	Definitive Collection (2002) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist When you're putting together a 21-song collection of a major artist who's had more than 40 Top 40 hits, inevitably there's going to be a lot of good stuff left out. Stevie Wonder's long and varied career (not over when this anthology appeared) really needs more than one disc to even adequately summarize the highlights. But this single-disc comp ... see all copies from £5.38! new only from £8.29!
5	The Best Of Earth, Wind & Fire Volume 1 (1978) more music like this by Earth, Wind & Fire add to wishlist When it was originally released in 1978, The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1 was a succinct, ten-track collection of the group's best and biggest singles up to that point. There was one brand-new song, the excellent "September," which soon became a hit in its own right, plus the non-LP Beatles cover "Got to Get You Into My Life," which was ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.61!
6	All-Time Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by Barry White add to wishlist It took quite a while for a definitive Barry White compilation to hit the market, but All-Time Greatest Hits -- part of Mercury's Funk Essentials series -- finally filled the bill in 1995. Boasting a full 20 tracks from White's heyday of 1973-1978, more than half of which made the R&B Top Ten, All-Time Greatest Hits is easily the most generous ... see all copies from £5.02! new only from £9.02!
7	Innervisions (1973) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist When Stevie Wonder applied his tremendous songwriting talents to the unsettled social morass that was the early '70s, he produced one of his greatest, most important works, a rich panoply of songs addressing drugs, spirituality, political ethics, the unnecessary perils of urban life, and what looked to be the failure of the '60s dream -- all set ... see all copies from £3.40! new only from £7.43!
8	Every Great Motown Hit of Marvin Gaye (1983) more music like this by Marvin Gaye add to wishlist The title is a bit of a misnomer, as you could count up on the fingers of both hands all the early hits that aren't on this 15-track collection. But if it's latter-day Marvin you're looking for -- from "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" through tracks like "Let's Get It On" and "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)" -- this set will fill the bill ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £7.57!
9	Talking Book (1972) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist After releasing two "head" records during 1970-71, Stevie Wonder expanded his compositional palate with 1972's Talking Book to include societal ills as well as tender love songs, and so recorded the first smash album of his career. What had been hinted at on the intriguing project Music of My Mind was here focused into a laser beam of tight ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.48!
10	Essential Jacksons (2004) more music like this by The Jacksons add to wishlist The first thing to realize about Epic/Legacy's The Essential Jacksons is that it's a collection of the Jacksons , not the Jackson 5. Which means that none of the group's hits for Motown in the early '70s are here -- it's everything that came afterward, when the group signed to Epic/Philadelphia International (soon to be just Epic) and changed its ... see all copies from £5.16! new only from £6.09!
11	Dead Presidents (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to the Hughes Brothers' tribute to early-'70s blaxploitation gets the sound of the era right, featuring hits by the O'Jays, the Spinners, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, among others. The inclusion of Danny Elfman's instrumental theme interrupts the flow of the album, but for the most part, Dead Presidents ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.85!
12	Capitol Gold: The Best of Minnie Riperton (1993) more music like this by Minnie Riperton add to wishlist Until 1999's Free Soul (Capitol) and 2001's exhaustive but more excellent overall Petals (The Right Stuff) came along, Capitol Gold offered the best summation of this true original's horribly undervalued solo career. As with Free Soul, Capitol Gold leaves a significant gap by excluding the best moments from Minnie Riperton's debut (Come to My ... see all copies from £5.87! new only from £6.78!
13	Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection (1996) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist While it's not quite the definitive compilation it could have been, the double-disc Song Review: A Greatest Hits Collection is still a good overview of Stevie Wonder's long, prolific career. Skipping over "Fingertips, Pt. 2" and picking up with "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" and "I Was Made to Love Her," Song Review runs through the next three ... see all copies from £12.38! new only from £14.45!
14	A Donny Hathaway Collection (1990) more music like this by Donny Hathaway add to wishlist Unfortunately, Atlantic's A Donny Hathaway Collection, one of the few career retrospectives available (and basically the only one in print), isn't quite definitive; it presents a version of Hathaway's career inordinately focused on his commercially successful duets with Roberta Flack, and his slowest, most dirge-like solo recordings. A few of his ... see all copies from £6.85! new only from £6.85!
15	Pickin' Up the Pieces: The Best of Average White Band (1974-1980) (1992) more music like this by Average White Band add to wishlist Anyone who is seriously interested in '70s soul and funk should own at least three or four Average White Band albums. But if a person insists on allotting himself/herself only one AWB CD, this is the logical choice. All of the essential hits -- everything from the sweaty funk of "Cut the Cake," "Pick Up the Pieces," and "School Boy Crush" to the ... see all copies from £5.86! new only from £5.86!
16	Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist After the righteous anger and occasional despair of the socially motivated Innervisions, Stevie Wonder returned with a relationship record: Fulfillingness' First Finale. The cover pictures his life as an enormous wheel, part of which he's looking ahead to and part of which he's already completed (the latter with accompanying images of Little ... see all copies from £4.33! new only from £6.02!
17	The Best of the Stylistics [Amherst] (1975) more music like this by The Stylistics add to wishlist Any of their collections are good, but this one features their biggest and best hits, including "I'm Stone in Love with You," "Rockin' Roll Baby, " "Betcha by Golly Wow," and "You Make Me Feel Brand New." ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from £8.20! new only from £9.27!
18	Original Musiquarium I (1982) more music like this by Stevie Wonder add to wishlist Released in 1982, the double-album Original Musiquarium I summarizes Stevie Wonder's classic period of the '70s, concentrating primarily on the hits, but adding a few album tracks to hint at the depth of his albums, as well as four new songs (one for each side, all pleasant, none particularly remarkable). Though there could be some dispute about ... see all copies from £3.53! new only from £14.98!
19	AWB (1974) more music like this by Average White Band add to wishlist After debuting with 1973's excellent but neglected Show Your Hand (later reissued as Put It Where You Want It), the Average White Band switched from MCA to Atlantic and hit big with this self-titled gem. Upon first hearing gutsy, Tower of Power-influenced funk like "Person to Person" and the instrumental "Pick Up the Pieces" (a number one R&B hit) ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £5.88!
20	My Everything (2004) more music like this by Anita Baker add to wishlist Anita Baker's My Everything is her first studio outing in a decade. Family life seems to have claimed most of that time, as the album's last cut, "Men in My Life," seems to indicate. Baker co-wrote seven of the album's nine songs (one is a reprise of the title track), authored the aforementioned tune, and assisted producer Barry J. Eastmond in the ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £3.71!
21	What's Going On [Bonus Tracks] (1971) more music like this by Marvin Gaye add to wishlist What's Going On is not only Marvin Gaye's masterpiece, it's the most important and passionate record to come out of soul music, delivered by one of its finest voices, a man finally free to speak his mind and so move from R&B sex symbol to true recording artist. With What's Going On, Gaye meditated on what had happened to the American dream of the ... see all copies from £4.43! new only from £6.13!
22	16 Most Requested Songs (1989) more music like this by Johnny Mathis add to wishlist 16 Most Requested Songs, a midline-priced collection, spotlights some of Johnny Mathis' best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records. Although other sets may have a few more tracks, this is a very entertaining sampler, featuring such songs as "Chances Are," "It's Not for Me to Say," "Wonderful! Wonderful!," "When Sunny Gets Blue," ... see all copies from £3.25! new only from £6.09!
23	Spirit (1976) more music like this by Earth, Wind & Fire add to wishlist With That's the Way of the World having enjoyed multi-platinum success, Earth, Wind & Fire had a lot to live up to when the time came for another studio project. And the soul powerhouse didn't let anyone down (either commercially or creatively) on the outstanding Spirit, which boasted hits ranging from the optimistic "On Your Face" and the ... see all copies from £4.96! new only from £6.09!
24	Here, My Dear (1978) more music like this by Marvin Gaye add to wishlist Pre-dating the voyeuristic tendencies of reality television by 20 years, Here, My Dear is the sound of divorce on record -- exposed in all of its tender-nerve glory for the world to consume. During the amazing success of I Want You and his stellar Live at the London Palladium album, Marvin Gaye was served with divorce papers from his then-wife ... see all copies from £5.21! new only from £6.08!
25	Jackie Brown -- Music from the Motion Picture (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist Quentin Tarantino established himself as one of the few filmmakers to effectively use pop music with his first film Reservoir Dogs, a movie where the music was integral to the success of the film yet also worked well as a collection of songs. Jackie Brown, Tarantino's long-awaited third feature, finds him exploring new territory, creating an ... see all copies from £3.09! new only from £4.88!
