Description: NOW Music is pleased to announce 'NOW Presents...Classic Soul', a stunning 5LP boxset of 85 of the greatest '60s and '70s Soul tracks ever. LP1 opens with 'I Say A Little Prayer' from the 'Queen of Soul' - Aretha Franklin, the peerless 'Walk On By' from Dionne Warwick and followed by massive hits from Marvin Gaye with the #1 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' and Stevie Wonder's 'I Was Made To Love Her', plus classic tracks from The Temptations and Otis Redding. Flip to the other side for legendary groups - The Supremes, The Ronettes, The Marvelettes, The Velvelettes and Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. LP2 begins with the powerhouse vocals of Tina Turner (with Ike) on 'River Deep, Mountain High'. Top tracks from the Jackson 5 and the Four Tops give way to a run of Northern Soul classics from Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons with 'The Night', 'Tainted Love' from Gloria Jones, Frank Wilson's legendary 'Do I Love You', and 'Green Onions' from Booker T. & The M.G.'s. Side 2 begins with the superb vocals of Ben E. King with 'Stand By Me' and Percy Sledge with 'When A Man Loves A Woman'. Another Otis Redding classic alongside the genius of both James Brown and Nina Simone brings this LP to a close. The A-Side of LP3 kicks off with the signature smash from Aretha Franklin 'Respect' before the first UK #1 for the Motown label from The Supremes with 'Baby Love', and there's still room for Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Drifters, and another #1 from Freda Payne. Side B begins with one of the most iconic and funky baselines ever on 'Papa Was A Rollin' Stone' from The Temptations and the classic grooves 'Move On Up' from Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes' 'Theme from 'Shaft'', the emphatic 'War' from Edwin Starr and the cool sophistication of 'California Soul' from Marlena Shaw lead to the closing track 'Could It Be I'm Falling In Love' from The Spinners. LP4 begins with a run of beloved tracks from iconic artists opening with the politically charged masterpiece 'What's Going On' from Marvin Gaye, followed by Al Green, Bill Withers and Billy Paul, plus The Stylistics and The Delfonics to add to the selection of celebrated groups on this release. The second side begins with the exceptional 'Killing Me Softly With His Song' from Roberta Flack, before the stunning vocals of Minnie Riperton's 'Lovin' You' and Deniece Williams, The Three Degrees and Gladys Knight. The Jackson 5 bring this disc to a close with their timeless ballad 'I'll Be There'. LP5 contains a run of 1970s favourites beginning with 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' from Diana Ross and 'You're The First, The Last, My Everything' from Barry White. 'Fantasy' from Earth, Wind & Fire, 'Summer Breeze, Pt. 1' from The Isley Brothers and 'Love Train' from The O'Jays all feature before the Commodores kick off the final side with 'Three Times A Lady'. Rose Royce, Peaches & Herb and a second selection from Gladys Knight & The Pips feature along with George Benson, before the 'Prince of Soul' Marvin Gaye brings this essential collection home with 'Let's Get It On'. 85 tracks across 5 stunning LPs, 'NOW Presents... Classic Soul'.
