This 23-track compilation, covering his output at the Spring label, is not necessarily the best Simon anthology, omitting as it does his less elaborately produced work of the 1960s, which some find preferable to his Philly soul outings. It does, however, feature all his major pop hits of the era \u2014 \u201cDrowning in the Sea of Love,\u201d \u201cPower of Love,\u201d \u201cYour Time to Cry,\u201d \u201cGet Down, Get Down,\u201d and \u201cTheme From Cleopatra Jones\u201d \u2014 as well as a number of singles that only made a strong impression on R&B audiences, like his cover of Kris Kristofferson\u2019s \u201cHelp Me Make It Through the Night.\u201d As usual with this sort of overview, the music gets more tedious the further you get into the disco era, but it\u2019s certainly a good pickup for those who like their soul with a bow tie on it. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Republished by Blog Post Promoter<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/div>\n\n
