"Rare Grooves Volume 1: The Originals" does fans of modern soul music a
great favor by providing a treasure trove of the songs that influenced
today's soul musicians. This generous compilation offers a diverse array of
soul sounds from the 1970s and early 80's that have supplied hitmaking
samples.
The sweet, ballad-oriented side of soul is nicely represented by cuts like
Barry White's soothing yet swinging "Playing Your Game, Babe", which is as
smooth as velour, and Rose Royce's moving torch ballad "I'm Going Down",
which shows off that group's great skill for working jazz-styled horn
arrangements into their pop-soul sound.
Straight-ahead funk is also represented by the Ohio Players via the
relentless and grungy guitar-driven stomp of "Fopp", and jazz-funk gets its
day in the sun through cuts like Grover Washington, Jr.'s gently grooving
"Mister Magic". It's a diverse batch of material, but it is all sequenced
in a style that allows it to flow like a good vintage soul radio show, and
it highlights the diversity going on within this era's R&B music in the
process.
More importantly, Ben Yang Baller's liner notes put the contents of the set
in perspective by pointing out how modern performers from Kris Kross to
Mary J. Blige have covered and sampled the songs featured on this disc. As
a result, "Rare Grooves Volume 1: The Originals" works both as a nice
sampler of classic soul and as a trainspotter's guide to the influences
that fuel modern R&B music.
