Amazon.com This rich R&B sampler reaches from Stevie Wonder's "Someday at Christmas" and James Brown's classic "Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto" ahead to the '90s turf of Kirk Franklin and the Family's "There's No Christmas Without You" and En Vogue's "Silent Nite (Happy Holiday Mix)." Generous at 16 songs, Soul Train Christmas Starfest leans harder on the vocalists than on groups such as the Isley Brothers (here caught groovin' through "Special Gift"). With Luther Vandross, Boyz II Men, Natalie Cole, Patti LaBelle, and Johnny Gill chipping in, you can bet R&B fans will be in the spirit faster than you can say, "What ever happened to Immature and Total Commitment?" --Martin Keller
