Music reviews of Spellbound

Music Review: "The Hits That Got Away"~Bravo Martha Reeves & Co.!
Rating: 5 Stars

Motown in no short supply of "Diva's" in the great musical sixties and top of the heap Martha Reeves possesses an extraordinary voice full of passion, pathos & fiery intensity making this magnificent "Lost & Found" collection more like "Essential Collection: Martha Reeves and the Vandellas" or "Anthology: Martha Reeves & the Vandellas" as we have no filler here...early songs have early Motown Doo Wap charm but in no time Martha unleashes that great voice in "Coney Island" and it is up, up and away from then on...the lady can sing anything & background singers nicely frame her stunning & spellbinding vocals!~
"Spellbound" hook filled sound is classic Motown and amazing material this great took forty years to release making one wonder who dropped the ball keeping Martha Reeves & the Vandellas from a much deserved career of wider scope with all additional hit singles that would have happened...soulful passion abounds with "Too Far Gone To Save Myself" sounding like another Top Ten Hit and this pattern continues thoughout Disc One closing with a stellar performance of "For Once In My Life"...another title for this tremendous collection could be "Hitbound: Martha Reeves & the Vandellas" and what were they thinking keeping all these great sessions in the can?
"Looking In The Mirror" contains a passion filled great Martha Reeves performance opening Disc Two in grand soulful fashion & this gorgeous gem has that Martha Reeves & the Vandellas hit sound as does the engrossing "A Little Bit Of Heaven (On A Little Patch Of Earth)". Imagine writers and producers of these remarkable sessions must have been spaced out and disappointed with their great accomplishments left in the can for decades...more hit sounds with "Candy Man" a wildly soulful gem sounding Top Ten without a doubt as does the stirring "I'm Glad You Belong To Me". Martha Reeves does "It Must Be Him" rivalling hit version with her passionate vocal and memorable performance and not surprising this amazing singer went on to great solo lp's in the seventies like "Martha Reeves" an extraordinary masterwork produced by Richard Perry still sounding great to this day and the magnificent "For The Rest Of My Life" another "Lost & Found" classic gem filled with incredible performances in need of remastered released on Compact Disc.
"I Can't Erase The Way I Feel" another steamroller Motown Classic filled with unique tempo changes and stunning Reeves performance would have be another chart-topping Motown Classic. One great breathtaking song after another as songs like "I've Got To See You" & a stirring Aretha cooking cover "Since You've Been Gone (Sweet Sweet Baby)" take it over the top. High energy make the exhuberant "Operation Teamwork" a winner while "Take It Off" is a soulful anthem with that classic opening bass line & "Full Speed Ahead" a wildly riveting high-octane cooker...soulful & magnificent Motown Classic gems sounding like blockbuster #1 hits!
"(If Love Invites Me)I'll Take A Raincheck" is a Motown Masterpiece sounding like another huge hit...arrangement and superb vocal have all elements of classic Motown at its finest...by now listening to all these extraordinary spellbinding songs reality & fantasy are blurred and this sublime collection is a must have for any lover of great singers and classic Motown from a Golden Era that sadly will never happen again.
Sophisicated "In A World Of My Own" has a unique pop sound while a fine definitive "Standing Ovation" intoxicating prompting use of repeat mode...hold on for a great musical ride as "Earthquake" shakes and quakes and would have raced to the top of the charts...sounding like a late sixties chart-topper, "Build Your Love On A Strong Foundation" has that urgent sound which translated in to a big hit as does the engrossing "Where Was I (When Love Came By)" featuring a soul-deep fabulous Martha vocal filled with yearning for love but regret for loss that few can convey in some three minutes. "There's Love In This World" is mesmerizing with a gospel-edged performance from Ms. Reeves that can give one chills and make the hair on your arm stand on edge...
"Let Me Fall In Love With You" & "Talking 'Bout Love" are Stevie Wonder gems sounding like sure-fire hits yet remained unreleased to now...shocking and Stevie was surely disappointed as these great tracks have "hit sound" written all over them!
Closing with a delicious funky jam that will make anyone jump up and dance, "Ain't My Stuff Good Enough" could be a huge hit today if released as a single...nothing on the radio today comes close!
Bravo to all of the amazing composers, incredibly talented musicians who clearly give their all, magnificent & legendary arrangers, wondrous background singers and the Legendary Martha Reeves who possesses one of the greatest voices from her generation and beyond...all involved can be very proud of this magical musical masterwork full of classic gems translates in to a peerless collection of spectacular performances to be savored and enjoyed over and over!
