In the mid-'60s, Atlantic signed , who proved to be every bit as soulful and seminal as, the main star on their Stax subsidiary. Reprsented by such hits as "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Respect," "Try a Little Tenderness," "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and "Do Right Woman -- Do Right Man," Franklin and Redding certainly play a major role on , but they don't dominate the proceedings. There's an abundance of classic singles from major artists like ("You Don't Know Like I Know," "Hold On, I"m Comin'," "When Something is Wrong with My Baby," "Soul Man"), ("See-Saw"), ("A Sweet Woman Like You," "Show Me"), ("Funky Broadway," "In the Midnight Hour," "Land of 1000 Dances," "Mustang Sally"), ("Hip Hug-Her") and "When a Man Loves a Woman"), as well as one-hit wonders like ("Knock On Wood"), ("Cool Jerk") and ("Sweet Soul Muisc"). There's a wonderful balance of deep Southern soul, smooth uptown crooning and soul-pop, demonstrating the richness of not only Atlantic/Stax's roster, but of late-'60s soul. Not only that, but contains so many great singles, it's startling to think that one label released them all.
