Review by Chiara Lim

Soul Classics by Tony Blackburn is a delightful album that showcases the soulful voice of the legendary radio DJ. The album features some of the most iconic soul songs of all time, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Respect," and "I Got You (I Feel Good)." Blackburn's smooth vocals and the excellent production make this album a must-have for any soul music lover.

The album opens with an upbeat rendition of "Soul Man," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. Blackburn's voice is full of energy and soul, and the backing band provides a tight and groovy rhythm section. The album also includes some slower, more emotional tracks, such as "When a Man Loves a Woman" and "Let's Stay Together," which showcase Blackburn's ability to convey deep emotions through his singing.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Blackburn's cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," which features a funky bassline and a catchy chorus that will have listeners singing along. Another highlight is the upbeat and uplifting "Reach Out, I'll Be There," which features a soaring horn section and a catchy melody that will have listeners dancing.
