The 2008 release of Joe's Greatest Hits features the single 'Beautiful'. Singer-songwriter and record producer Joe Thomas has been a force in R&B and Soul music for over a decade. He has sold over 6 million albums domestically and garnered multiple awards and Grammy nominations for his work. Besides the success with his own releases, he has written and produced songs for artists like Mariah Carey, Tina Turner, Barry White, The Backstreet Boys and Chico DeBarge and collaborated with other artists including G-Unit, Jadakiss and Angie Stone.
He was an unlikely teen idol, huge in size and in his mid-40s, but Big Joe Turner took fame in his impressive stride. When "Honey Hush" went to No.1 in the US R&B charts during 1953, to be followed by the even more successful "Shake, Rattle And Roll" in 1954, he merely smiled and reminded his new-found audience that he was only doing what he d been doing for most of his life. This superb 2 disc set includes those hits along side songs such as "Corrine Corrina", "Hide And Seek" and "I'll Never Stop Loving You".
Joe Simon's best-of boasts a stack of hits that far outclasses its silly title. This largely uncelebrated baritone's career was artistically shaky at first, thanks to the hokey 1966 "Teenager's Prayer," but soon the Louisiana native was applying his rich baritone to classic midtempo ballads such as Nashville writer Harlan Howard's "Chokin' Kind" and the Gamble-Huff "Drowning in the Sea of Love." That cross of down-home and uptown sensibilities carried Simon through most of the '70s--and his own soundtrack single, "Theme from Cleopatra Jones"--before the chart action finally dried up. Simon's b... [Read More]
Of all the soul singers who got their first hits during the 1960s, Joe Simon proved to be one of the most adaptable to the sweeter and slicker sounds of the 1970s. This 23-track compilation, covering his output at the Spring label, is not necessarily the best Simon anthology, omitting as it does his less elaborately produced work of the 1960s, which some find preferable to his Philly soul outings. It does, however, feature all his major pop hits of the era -- "Drowning in the Sea of Love," "Power of Love," "Your Time to Cry," "Get Down, Get Down," and "Theme From Cleopatra Jones" -- as well as...

This greatest-hits collection chronicles a dozen years in the career of the late country-soul singer. Tex, who died in 1982 at the age of 47, stepped out of the spotlight near the peak of his popularity after joining the Nation of Islam. As country as any of his soul-singing peers, Tex was master of the playful, down-home raps, best exemplified by "Skinny Legs and All." Rhino's 16-track assortment shows him in a most flattering light. --Steven Stolder
