I saw a commercial for these and I'm thinking of ordering it...

Did anyone else check it out yet?

you cvan actually buy most, if not all of these, individually. i've seen the chi lites and delfonics one at walmart for like $7.88. i actually bought the RG&B online. be wary of the "shot in hi-def" part...some of it looks okay, other parts are just aiight. you'd be better off getting a copy of "the Big Show", hosted by jerry butler...3 discs, mostly favorable performances (including his own)

Last year,I ordered a similiar DVD set from Time Life.Titled 'Soul Celebration',it's basically a collection of the PBS concerts that aired on TV several years ago,featuring performances by Isaac Hayes,The Chi Lites,Evelyn Champagne King,The Stylistics,A Taste of Honey,Hues Corporation,etc.


So I wonder if I truly need the new set?

Did Ray Goodman and Brown have enough hits to do a concert dvd? I know they used to be the Moments, but I don't recall buy 3 or 4 hits from "the moments". I also only remember about 3 Ray Goodman and Brown songs. AlexDeParis, help me out.

"Lovely Way She Loves" I wish they would do this song when I go see them next month!

Just imagine how much ass these DVDs would kick if the actual performances were from the 60s and 70s instead of the 2000s...

I'd sell my first born for that.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

I know. I would then justify paying the $150 for it.

daPrettyman said:

Indeed

FuNkeNsteiN said:

I saw that commercial the other night also. The DVD in that collection that I want is Slave. As for the Melba Moore DVD, they can keep that shit.

vainandy said:

I feel ya. I cannot stand Melba Moore. I never understood why she ever had a singing career. She can't hold a note to save her life.

The only thing I can think of by her that I like is "Loves Comin' Atcha'" and even that sounds weak compared to the stuff by other artists during that era.

daPrettyman said:

I ordered this set I'll write a review in a month or so.

SoulAlive said:

Why are you surprised? You know its true.

vainandy said:

Imma bet that 'Slave feat. Drac' equals Drac and a bunch of nobodies performing as 'Slave'...

Sweet Jebus would I like to get a hold of some good quality 70s & early 80s Slave tours on DVD with all the original members aboard

Oh snap, I just checked out that 'Free Club' part...

Enchantment & Bar-Kays - Coming Soon!


I would kill some mothafuckas to get my hands on this stuff if it was filmed back in the day


The Chi-Lites
Blue Magic
Bar-Kays
Slave
Enchantment


Yeeaaaas pleaaaseee
