Reviews :
Clarence Carter will be forever known as one of the original classic soul pioneers like Ray Charles, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett who had a knack of mastering funk grooves drenched in gospel, soul, rock and pop. Along with Fame Studio legendary producer Rick Hall, Clarence Carter created some of the greatest sides ever for Atlantic.
In 1971, Clarence was honored with his first greatest hits collection by Atlantic simply titled The Best Of Clarence Carter. This stunning array of his top charters includes Patches, Slip Away and Snatchin' It Back and other smash hit singles, like Too Weak to Fight and I Can't Leave Your Love Alone. Most of them feature the legendary musicianship of folks like Duane Allman, Spooner Oldham and Barry Beckett.
