Photographers: Freddie Jackson; Jim Britt; Joanne Savio; David Corio. With its 18 tracks of smoothed-out classic R&B jams from the 1970s and `80s, the PLATINUM EDITION of BODY & SOUL: LOVE SERENADE is the perfect soundtrack to a night of champagne, satin sheets, and romance. The set starts hot with the inimitably sweet croon of Smokey Robinson ("Being With You") and continues with Gladys Knight ("If I Was Your Woman"), the Commodores ("Three Times a Lady"), Boyz II Men ("I'll Make Love to You"), and others. A case study in "mood music," BODY & SOUL is enough to romance the pants off even the most casual R&B fan. Time-Life Music's Body and Soul: Love Serenade features two discs of soul hits: "Three Times a Lady" by the Commodores, "How 'Bout Us" by Champaign, "Betcha by Golly, Wow" by the Stylistics, "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott, "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye, "Love You Down" by Ready for the World, "Shower Me With Your Love" by Surface, "Cruisin' by Smokey Robinson and "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross. These songs are available on other compilations, but this disc offers a good collection for the casual soul fan. ~ Gina Boldman This two-disc collection presents the best of romantic, sensual R&B from the '70s on, providing the perfect backdrop for affairs of the heart. Marvin Gaye's sultry "Sexual Healing" kicks things off, and things move into poppier territory with Champaign's "How 'Bout Us" and the Peabo Bryson/Roberta Flack duet "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love." Philly soul is well represented, from Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "If You Don't Know Me By Now" to the Chi-Lites' "Oh Girl." The sadder side of love is tackled on Earth, Wind and Fire's classic "After the Love Has Gone" and the Johnny Mathis/Deniece Williams ballad "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late." The overwhelming mood on BODY & SOUL, however, is one of seduction--a soft, subtle musical enticement that's unassuming but powerful.
