Amazon.com Two staples of nearly all the Sugar Beats' albums are the fine production qualities and song selections that go into each. Back to the Beat is a prime example of how Sugar Beats records sound and how friendly their kid-friendly sensibility really is. Spanning four decades of music, Back to the Beat features side-by-side covers of Little Eva's "Locomotion" and Kool and the Gang's "Celebration." In between there are such dance nuggets as "La Bamba," "Mony Mony," the old Kinks' tune "You Really Got Me," and others such as Johnny Nash's early pop-reggae hit "I Can See Clearly Now" and the Monkees' I'm a Believer." In some cases, the ballads are even better than the originals, especially on "Shower the People," sung originally by James Taylor and Carly Simon but given a more soulful and heartfelt treatment by the Sugar Beats. Ditto for "Mockingbird," an old folk song covered a million ways but with scarcely this much wholesome sweetness. --Martin Keller Product Description The popular Sugar Beats series continues with Back to the Beat, which features more kid-friendly oldies interpreted by a cast of child and adult performers. This volume includes family favorites like "Locomotion," "Do You Love Me," "Iko Iko," and "I'm a Believer." Though the original versions of most of these songs would be appropriate for children as well, Sugar Beats' versions are fun and entertaining for parents as well as young children. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
