THE THIRD AND LAST IN THE SERIES RELEASED IN 1970. IT FEATURES TWO TRACKS APIECE FROM LESSER KNOWN MOTOWN ARTISTS MABLE JOHN, SAMY WARD AND GINO PARKS AS WELL AS SINGLE TRACKS, THE LIKES OF: JNR. WALKER'S "SATAN'S BLUES"/ STEVIE WONDER'S "I CALL IT PRETTY MUSIC (PART 2)"/SHORTY LONG'S TAKE ON THE FAT MAN'S "I'M WALKIN'". THE ALBUM BRINGS OUT THE BLUES SIDE OF MOTOWN ON TRACKS LIKE THE EXCELLENT AMOS MILBURN'S "MY DAILY PRAYER" WITH TRACKS STRETCHING RIGHT BACK TO '60. A VERY HEAVY MOTOWN SOUND IS IN EVIDENCE WITH THE VOWS "BUTTERED POPCORN" WHILE THE DARNELLS SOUND LIKE A HEAVIER MARVIN GAYE WITH A BACKING TRACK SO GOOD IT WAS LATER ISSUED ON IT'S OWN. SIDE TWO KICKS OFF WITH THE TREMENDOUSLY ATMOSPHERIC INSTRUMENTAL "SOUL STOMP" FROM EARL VAN DYKE AND CLOSES WITH THE STEVIE WONDER TRACK FEATURING HARMONICA ACROBATICS THAT ARE ALL THE MORE AMAZING WHEN YOU REMEMBER HE WAS JUST A KID. MAYBE THE BEST OF ALL THREE ALBUMS PURELY FOR CONSISTENTLY SURPRISING THE LISTENER WITH ONE UNEXPECTED GEM AFTER ANOTHER. SEVERAL TRACKS ARE PROBABLY WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION ALONE. TRACKS SPAN FROM 1960's BARNSTORMING "YOU MADE A FOOL OUT OF ME" BY MABLE JOHN TO THE SHORTY LONG OUTING FROM '69. THE BEAUTIFULLY INFORMATIVE SLEEVE NOTES ARE BY THE LATE MIKE RAVEN.
