This posthumous release from Ben E. King includes a number of re-cut versions of his songs. I think that some of these work really well. There's only one song here that really doesn't cut it for me, and that's more about personal taste than anything else. The CD includes a medley of songs from The Drifters, which was the group where King first got the attention of the general public. All in all, this is interesting and should appeal to fans of King and his style of music.

I love the funky groove of this song. This is all class. Everything about this just oozes style and charm from the backing vocals to the 1970s styled funk sound and the impeccable bass work.

This is just what it says it is, a medley of songs from originally by the Drifters. It's not really my kind of music, but I know all of this music and this works well. Then again, it's a bonus track, so you don't necessarily expect it to be particularly vital.
