The Best of Johnnie Taylor - CBS
Released: 1981
Label: N\A
Why Columbia issued this (beyond the usual greed reasons) baffles me, because Taylor's stay at the label wasn't productive for either party. He earned them one enormous hit and a bunch of... Continue[+]
Ever Ready
Released: 1978
Label: N\A
Things were beginning to get ugly for Johnnie Taylor at Columbia, following a period when he enjoyed remarkable success. But the success of "Disco Lady" fooled executives into thinking Taylor could... Continue[+]
Greatest Hits
Released: 1970
Label: N\A
A nice single-album collection of Taylor's best Stax hits to that point. Until the Chronicle retrospective, this was the best bet for those who only wanted a reasonable batch of his hits. It's... Continue[+]
The Johnnie Taylor Philosophy Continues
Released: 1969
Label: N\A
Shows the former Soul Stirrer's versatility, but a mediocre effort overall for Johnnie. Producer Don Davis' attempt to widen Taylor's appeal resulted in an album of watered-down Southern soul. Fans... Continue[+]
Just Ain't Good Enough
Released: 1982
Label: N\A
Just Ain't Good Enough is an album Taylor released on the short-lived Beverly Glen label in 1982. The record spawned two R&B hits for Taylor -- "What About My Love" and "I'm So Proud" -- and peaked... Continue[+]
Little Bluebird
Released: 1990
Label: N\A
The vaults at Stax are wide open these days. While Fantasy is nowhere near as bad about scavenging and issuing half-hearted material, they sometimes release things that have limited value. There... Continue[+]
New Day
Released: 1980
Label: N\A
It would soon be a new day, because Taylor was headed for the hills as soon as this flop ran its course. He had gone from having the number one album in the entire world in 1977 to cutting... Continue[+]
One Step Beyond
Released: 1971
Label: N\A
Cut in the middle of Taylor's late-'60s and early-'70s stay at Stax, One Step Beyond qualifies as one of the singer's best LPs. Captured in his Southern soul prime, Taylor lets loose on fine mix of... Continue[+]
Rated Extraordinaire
Released: 1977
Label: N\A
A decent followup to his huge hit album Eargasm, although the danger signs were already in the air. It did have some fine ballads, such as "I'm Just A Shoulder To Cry On" and "Love Is Better In The... Continue[+]
Raw Blues
Released: 1969
Label: N\A
While the "Raw" part of the title may be overstating the case just a bit, "Blues" describes this disc pretty well, thank you -- on his fourth album, Johnnie Taylor shifts his focus away from Stax's... Continue[+]
