    5 out of 5 stars More than just Rock the boat.......2003-03-17

    They named themselves after the business empire of Howard Hues and they recorded some excellent easy listening disco music in the mid-seventies, but they are remembered as a one-hit wonder. Although it's not strictly true, nearly all acts eventually get reduced to one hit in the public mind. Bing Crosby had over 300 hits, but how many people could name more than one?

    Rock the boat is one of my favorite disco songs from the seventies. Anybody who was around at the time, or younger people who have listened to a lot of seventies music, will be familiar with it, because it regularly appears on various artist compilations and it gets its share of radio airplay. If, for whatever reason, you are not already familiar with this song, I recommend you seek out a various artists compilation on which it is included before worrying about this.

    Formed in 1969, the Hues Corporation got plenty of practice working the LA nightclub scene before they got their break in 1973 via an appearance in the movie Blacula. Freedom for the stallion, their first single, was a minor American hit. Rock the boat followed, going to number one in America and number six in Britain, as well as being a huge hit in many other countries. Only one more significant hit followed. Rockin' soul went top 20 in the USA and top 30 in the UK.

    All three hits are included in this collection of a group who may not have been among the most important disco groups, but whose music is definitely worth a listen.

    4 out of 5 stars A good choice for fans.......2002-05-12

    "Rock the Boat" went to number one, but people forget the sound-alike follow-up "Rockin' Soul" came close to making the top ten and that "Freedom For the Stallion" was a pretty soulful chart 45 as well. This collection of singles and LP tracks is the best representation of the group you'll find. Omitted is a 1977 chart single "I Caught Your Act".

    4 out of 5 stars This is the compilation to get.......2001-12-24

    It is unfair that the Hues Corporation should be remembered as a one-hit wonder. Their debut album, "Freedom for The Stallion", was a soul masterpiece. It contained at least three ballads that were pure magic: "Off My Cloud", "Go To The Poet" and the title track. "The Family", "Bound on A Reason" and "Miracle Maker" were overlooked gems, too. Unfortunately, only "Rock The Boat" was a hit. And it was credited by some writers with the dubious merit of being the song that started the disco craze. But there was far more to the Hues Corporation than just disco. This compilation is the one to get, as it includes all the good tracks from their debut album plus a good number of selections from their two other albums.
