The Big Chill: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Plus Additional Classics From The Era
Motown just keeps packaging and repackaging those classic '60s hits.   But whether you're looking for a souvenir of Lawrence Kasdan's movie or just  another Motown sampler, you could do a lot worse than theBig Chillsoundtrack --which also throws in a dab of  Three Dog Night ("Joy to the  World") and Aretha Franklin ("(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural  Woman") and even Procul Harum ("Whiter Shade of Pale").  Many of  the choices are pretty obvious--Marvin Gaye's "Heard it Through the  Grapevine,"  Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' "My Girl"... but  theyaregreat songs.  And a few aren't quite so overexposed, like the  Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" or the CD bonus track of the  Marvelettes' "Too Many Fish in the Sea."  Nothing chilly about these  tracks.--Jim Emerson
