From his days singing gospel for the Highway Q.C.'s and as Sam Cooke's replacement in the Soul Stirrers, to his bluesy 1996 regional hit "Last Two Dollars," Johnnie Taylor covered an amazing breadth of musical ground. The 3-CD box set LIFETIME presents all sides of Taylor: spiritual singer, blues wailer, and soul superstar. Included are early cuts with the aforementioned Highway Q.C.'s ("I Dreamed That Heaven Was Like This") and the Soul Stirrers ("Out on a Hill," "Until Then"), along with Taylor's first forays into secular music, including his initial recordings for Stax (Merle Travis' "Sixteen Tons," Sam and Dave's "You Don't Know Like I Know"), and his short-lived stint on Cooke's SAR label ("Rome Wasn't Built in a Day").
Also included are the Arkansas native's greatest Stax successes, notably "I Believe in You (You Believe in Me)," and "Who's Making Love." Taylor's '70s material is drawn from his time with Columbia and features his biggest hit, the chart-topping "Disco Lady," which also became the first platinum-certified single. By the mid-'80s Taylor was recording for Southern soul label Malaco, represented here by tracks including the prophetic "Soul Heaven," recorded a few months before his death.
