I couldn't stand Lenny Kravitz's rock-star stuff--"American Woman" ranks with the worst covers ever--but "It Ain't Over 'til It's Over" was a pretty good imitation of the lighter side of early-'70 soul, say the Main Ingredient more than Al Green. So I can sort of see why your friend included him.

I mean, it makes more sense than putting Mr. Big or Bob Carlisle on there.

"Backstabbers" is a perfect single.

Had this on in the car again today as I ran around doing errands and I've decided that this mix is my fave summer album of all time.

when I was 18, my mate Phil did me an amazing mixtape, titled Souled and Delivered, featuring Bobby Womack's Across 110th Street, Ann Peebles' I Can't stand the Rain, the OJays' Backstabbers, Al Green's Tired of Being Alone, and many many more!

I made a playlist of some of these, minus the ones I've heard a million times already.

Sly means more to me, especially circa Riot, than the Temptations ever will, but "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, so that.

Great collection. The funkiest song gets my vote. For the love of money.
