Amoeba Review

Tiffany Anders 12/01/2010

Most famously known for their infectious and joyous dance hit “Tighten Up,” this wonderful 20-track collection shows that this Texas-based soul group had a lot more to offer than just one hit. Their smooth, upbeat, and optimistic offerings can be heard on such gems as “I Can’t Stop Dancing” and “(There’s Gonna Be A) Showdown,” which benefits from legendary Philly soul architects Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. An absolutely pleasurable listen from start to finish, this collection brings to light this overlooked classic soul group.
