5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning collection of LA 60s/70s soul from a great artist 8 Feb 2009
By M. A. Coyle VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ty Karim along with her husband created the quality Northern Soul dancefloor favourite 'Lighten Up Baby' which has been appreciated by British Soul fans since the 1970s. Years later DJ Ian Clark started spinning the equally good uptempo 'Ain't That Love Enough' which also found an appreciative home on the scene. As the scene opened up to include 1970s later sophisticated 'Modern Soul' songs such as the 1970s update 'Lightin' Up' would be introduced.

It was also realised that Ty was also known as 'Towana and the Total Destruction' which introduced 'Wear Your Natural Baby'. With a broadening range of songs by the artist being appreciated Kent explored putting together a definitive CD of her recordings. This lavishly produced CD has sweet sound from the mastertapes, extensive sleevenotes and a sense of care in its creation.

Ty was along with so many other artists such as Sandi Shelton, Bettye Swann or Dee Dee Warwick, a marvellous artist who never broke through to the mainstream. However the quality of her music is undeniable and this CD will be an essential purchase for fans of 60s and 70s soul music.

Sadly Ty is now deceased so this CD provides a fitting testament to a great talent whose appreciation genuinely does grow over the years.

4.0 out of 5 stars One mighty foxy lady! 10 April 2009
By Fuzzy Bear
Format:Audio CD
Do you recall the golden age of American/Northern Soul first hand, or have recently come to it? Either way, this lady had real power and range to her voice, & this CD showcases her versatility and sheer class in the genre. Backed by seriously good musicians who knew how to put down tracks that still sound good today, This CD has now been in my car, at full blast, for over a month & I still haven't heard it enough. "Keep on Doing Watch'a Doin" is a 8 minute gem, almost worth the whole cost of the CD on its own. Don't keep on hovering your mouse above the "Add to Basket" - just do it. You will not regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Soul out of LA 1 Jan 2009
By Phil S. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A whole lotta '60s Soul from Ty Karim and a great Producer, Kent Harris.
The, shall we say, "signature" song of the collection is "Lighten Up Baby", pressed in four variations, sassy and swingin' at the same time.
We have another late sixties opus, "All At Once" here in two variations: the "alternate vocal" is much rougher but makes the cut just as strong - octave-leaping wails drop the cherry right on top of the tasty entry.
Something especially interesting for Little Richard fans in that "Only A Fool" is a new vocal and melody over a Wally Long arrangement of the Platters' "Only You", which Richard committed to disc in '64. There's another track called "I Ain't Lying" which sounds to this Reviewer as the same treatment applied to another Richard 1964 cover, "Memories Are Made Of This".
Not necessary to run for the Chart Books - Ty has triumphed without those "numbers". Some real, raw Soul on the distaff side, with sounds that will not dissuade collectors of Brunswick and King records.
