Various Artists - Wedding Songs / Various (CD)

All Music Guide

Time Life's eighteen track Wedding Songs compilation relies heavily on soul and RB to provide fresh newlyweds with the audio fuel they need to get through their big day. Tried and true Casanovas like Billy Ocean, Peabo Bryson, and Luther Vandross sit "cheek to cheek" with songs performed by their equally lustful female counterparts Etta James and Toni Braxton. The only problem with the collection is that it omits anything capable of firing up the dance floor, resulting in nearly an hour of "wedding party" slow jams that would make even the most amorous DJ fall asleep at the turntable.
