Release Notes:

The Main Ingredient were one of the best smooth soul groups of the early '70s,
but they've never been given much respect in terms of CD retrospectives.
This one however does have all the big hits, such as "Everybody Plays the Fool,"
"Just Don't Want to Be Lonely," "Rolling Down a Mountainside," "I'm So Proud,"
"You've Been My Inspiration," and "Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling in Love)."

Stevie Wonder produced several of the selected tracks on this collection.
A Curtis Mayfield written track appears as well. Most notabley though is that
many of these songs have been covered and/or sampled by many of today's
Hip-hop/R&B artists. For example, track 11 is the orginal "rare" song
Kanye West used on the Alica Keys hit "You Don't Know My Name".

All tracks have been digitally remastered for the best sound possible.
