DescriptionLong before Kenny Rogers achieved pop and country superstardom, he was a member of the late-’60s pop group The First Edition, which had five Top 40 hits, including "Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town" and "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." This success led to the airing of a November 1970 television special, Rollin’ On The River, which starred the band. The response was so overwhelming that CBS turned it into a weekly music/variety show.
From 1971 to 1973, Rollin’ (as the show was renamed) was a showcase for the hottest musical talent of the time. The best performances from the show are collected for the first time on this disc. Hosted by drummer Mickey Jones (Kenny Rogers and the First Edition), this DVD is a loving tribute to a time when popular music had the ability to cross genres and touch us all. These 14 beautifully restored selections from the Rollin’ archives still cast a powerful spell.

REVIEW
Remember?? This is truly one of the best-value music DVDs available to 70s buffs. Not only is the footage a flashback, needless to say, the history narrations at the end of each song have an almost 70s classroom filmstrip feel to them, with the female narrator asking "remember?" at the end of each entry. You almost expect to hear the beep sound for the next slide! I actually really appreciate that the makers of this DVD played it completely straight with such touches, and resisted the urge to go campy. While the clothes of the era, for one, are now certainly considered campy in themselves, the DVD is more interested in putting us in the time frame which such fads existed. I find that approach not only refreshing, but alsobeneficial to the overall nostalgia we want out of these things.
In terms of the performances, there are some great ones here. Jim Croce and the Grass Roots are standouts. I was a little disappointed that Ike & Tina Turner, although a visually stunning performance, do a shortened version of "Proud Mary," as opposed to their "Nice & Easy/Rough & Hard" version. Al Green sounds amazing, but is singing to a music track and not a live band. He sounds so good, however, it really doesn't matter. Mark Lindsay & the Raiders appear to be lip-synching "Indian Reservation." I believe their performance is the only one done this way. Again, this is admissable considering the pop status of the song (we're not expecting a improv jam out of this tune are we?). On the other hand, Malo's "Suavecito" delivers more than I thought it would. The whole shebang is worth the price if just to see Kenny Rogers & the First Edition's matching blue & white leisure suits! Their "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" is a mellow masterpiece.
Something I certainly miss from this era is the diversity of the pop music of the time. Southern-fried First Edition clearly has a love for R&B, soul, country & rock, and seem thrilled to have brought it together on a tv show.

REVIEW
Sound is horrible You can barely hear the audio. It's the worst sound! Also, all the videos begin with the songs in progress, not at the beginning of the songs.
And Hullabaloo was broadcast in color--I used to watch that show. These videos are all from Hullabaloo but are in black and white.
Description They're all here--some of the greatest soul performances of the sixties and seventies. Classic tracks presented by the artists that made them famous!
REVIEW
dont waste your money even though this dvd shows some groups I have never seen live before the average song is only about 2 minutes or less! a serious let down.
The perfect pop album! Wow, like the CD claims, this is definately the perfect pop album. These are all good songs and I noticed that most of the songs are from artists that aren't that famous and that's good because if you're like me, you can hear the usual stuff being overplayed on the radio and when you buy CD's, you want to get something that's not too overplayed. I love this album. Some good ones are Heaven, Aliya, Cold Play, Nick Carter (who by the wayis soooo cute!), O-town ( haven't heard them on the radio since... a long time ) and my all time favorite female pop artist: Jennifer Love Hewitt. Now just because these artists aren't a great chart-topper, they are really good so don't be to quick to judge. And like I said before, "Aren't you tired of so many overplayed songs that you can just hear on the radio?"... that ends this review. Enjoy!
