Heart full of soul : the Motown anthology

"Motown fanatics should be delighted to hear Blinky renderings of material that went to the singer's various labelmates, interspersed with covers of songs written and/or popularized by the Yardbirds, Rolling Stones, Beatles, and James Taylor. No doubt a major undertaking, the set finally presents a clear picture of Blinky's underrepresented work from 1968-1973, just before she achieved musical immortality with the theme for Good Times".

"Signing with Motown might have initially seemed like a dream come true for Blinky Williams though ultimately it turned into a bit of a nightmare, especially in terms of the disproportionate ratio between the amount of music she recorded and what Gordy's rather blinkered label saw fit to release. But justice is finally done with this splendid anthology, which reveals that the Oakland-born singer was a versatile performer who could handle all kinds of different material. And she was soulful with a capital 'S.'".
