5 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised.......2003-01-15

I really liked this 2 fer. These women sang these songs like
nobody business! And all the songs are stellar, which is rare.
No filler to my ears.

On Friday, 25 April 1969, at 3614 Jackson Highway, Cher recorded the unreleased and now lost Eddie Hinton- Dan Penn- Wayne Jackson composition "Always David" (Master 17007).

Marlin Greene soon produced a hit version of "Always David" by Ruby Winters (Diamond single 265, Billboard review 30 August 1969, Billboard R&B #23).

In February 1969 The Sweet Inspirations had recorded "Always David" (Master 16453, 'Sweets For My Sweet,' Atlantic album SD 8225, released 20 June 1969, the same day Cher's '3614' LP was released) at FAME Studios with Mardin, Dowd, Johnson, Hinton, Beckett, Hood and Hawkins.

The Sweet Inspirations' excellent version of "Always David" (3:26) can now be heard on the Stereo 'Sweets For My Sweets' reissue CD (Spy 46004-2, released 19 November 2002).

5 out of 5 stars Out of This World Fantastic.......2006-04-17

The Sweet Inspirations have got to be one of the best singing groups ever. Sure they never had huge hits like the other groups at the time but they put every bit of soul and emotion into their singing. As backup singers they could make any song sound good but once they recorded as a lead group they blew the roof off of so-called girl group singing style. They obviously sang with a gospel style and added a soulful punch to bring it up a notch. The collection of songs represented here are some of the best they did. If you want a lost gem of a song by the Sweet Inspirations then go to I-Tunes and buy the song "HERE I AM"...The absolute best..Cissy can sing!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Divine Inspiration.......2002-05-21

From beginning to end of this c.d. the hairs on your neck just
stand up, from "Blues stay away" "Let it be me" to When something
is wrong with my baby"and "Unchaind Melody"W-h-o-w,I now know why some of the great Soul Ledgends of music would wait for these Ladies to sing backing vocals on the now soul classics.I know this is a greatest hits collection but as I had most of these fab songs on the album "What the world needs now" back in 68/69 I Would have liked to have seen "Reach Out" "Alfie" and one of the greatest and most powerful R/B love ballads ever "Here I am" put down .If you are a Soul,Blues,Gospel lover its all here check it out -Did I say "divine Inspiration"? my mistake I meant to say "Heavenly Inspirations....

5 out of 5 stars It can only be classified as fabulous.......2000-03-19

This was out at the same time a Jimmy Hendricks and all them. These are all the backup singers from everyone back then. They are so fabulous . The harmony and the blues and all is what much of the rest of the music has been based on.
