The Big Chill Soundtrack - The Chillest


Admittedly I have not seen the movie 'The Big Chill' but the soundtrack that goes along with it, is flawless. It's filled with old school Motown classics by The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, and a lot more. It's like a greatest hits record of all the amazing songs to come from this time period. 
These artists shaped a generation of music with a lot of heart and soul that will go untouched forever. Prominate basslines, easy chord structures, and a call and response type of singing that comes from gospel. It really speaks to me in a very honest way, laying it all out on the table. I am also lucky enough to have this record on vinyl, which just adds to the richness of the music. This album was meant for vinyl. Do yourself a favor, go get this record. If you don't have a record player...at least download it, 100% worth it.
