PBS rocks the house with SUPERSTARS of '70s SOUL, the first installment from the new live concert series My Music. Hosted by the original "Lady Marmalade" herself, Ms. Patti LaBelle, this show is a crash course in Groove 101, with booty-quaking lessons from the masters, including the incomparable Commodores ("Brick House"), Earl Young’s Trammps ("Disco Inferno") and Joni & Debbie Sledge of Sister Sledge ("We Are Family"). Then slow it down, dim the lights and learn about love from "You Are Everything" by The Stylistics--and from Eugene Record, who reunites with The Chi-Lites for "Have You Seen Her" and "Oh Girl."

Great Seventies MusicReviewed by Mark Naidoo, 2010-02-14
If you are a fan of the seventies soul music, then this dvd is for you. Brought back many happy memories. Just can't beat the music of that era.

I enjoyed this DVD but I through that more of Motown hits would have been on it because of the year.

This is a great dvd!! I didn't expect this level of preformances, but these old pros really burned up the stage!! Eugene Record(Chi-Lites) sounded fantastic, Manhattan were superb, and on and on. This is cheap at 3 times the price
My Students Enjoyed ThisReviewed by Louis A. Invernon, 2009-01-24
I used this material in my "American Popular Music" course at Butte Community College: it was well received.
Superior Production valueReviewed by Doug Marshall, 2008-09-01
When you have a show that presents original artstes doing their hits, years after the fact, you expect that the quality will lessen with the years. In this case, the artists voices are in top shape, and the backing singers, orchestra, etc. are FANTASTIC. Every one of these tracks sounds like or better than the oriiginal recording, so you can imagine what it sounded like in person. If you have home theater this DVD is a must. Put this on, turn the lights low, and the romance will embrace you warmly and lovingly. But not when Patti La Belle is on. She will blow the woofers right out of your speakers. What a voice! This is probably not the entire show, and I would dearly like to see the rest.
