Product Description

CD Description
BODY AND SOUL expands on the cosmopolitan, Gershwinesque pop sound of its predecessor NIGHT AND DAY. The Latin element is removed in favour of a sound that's equal parts Brill Building and Tin Pan Alley, and the arrangements are more ambitious and orchestral. For the first time since JUMPIN' JIVE, Jackson works a horn section. The horns and Vinnie Zummo's jazzy guitar help take the sound to a new plateau.
For an album this far from rock & roll, BODY AND SOUL is the most unabashedly poppy effort of Jackson's career up to that point. With Ellen Foley chiming in on backing vocals, tunes like "Happy Ending" could have come from a contemporary Broadway musical. At the same time, the ambitious, almost-instrumental "Heart of Ice" is a sophisticated composition that merges jazz and artsong seamlessly. And as the touching "Be My Number Two" proves, Jackson still had a way with a simple melodyand a heartfelt lyric.

5.0 out of 5 stars 20 year on and it still sounds great!!, 27 April 2004
By Kirk Halinson (Hayes, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have just bought this record on CD to replace by vinyl copy of 1984, andit has served to remind that this truly is a classic album. There is nodoubt that Joe Jackson put his Body & Soul into this recording and theresult is 9 great tracks - definitely no duds on here.
The albumhighlights are the staggering 'The Verdict', the simply sensational 'YouCan't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)' and the excellent'Happy Ending'. If you only buy one Joe Jackson album then buy thisone.
I think that the final tribute would be that the album sounds likea fusion of Graham Parker of the 1980s meeting a Van Morrison of 'Into TheMusic' with the Brass section of 'The Healing Game'.
I'm not saying anymore, just off to play it again, Joe!
