Johnnie Taylor - A Retrospective

You can not love Johnnie Taylor and not absolutely require a copy of this one! ...I'm just sayin'.

One of the most awesomely gifted vocalists of the 20th century, Johnnie Harrison Taylor (1934-2000) brought both grit and grace to a variety of African-American musical styles, including gospel, blues and soul. But as the 65 selections contained in this three-disc career retrospective attest, the listener can always tell it's J.T.  Every one of the singer's greatest hits, including the chart-toppers "Who's Making Love," "Jody's Got Your Girl And Gone," "I Believe In You (You Believe In Me)," and "Disco Lady," is contained herein, along with many lesser known gems and 13 previously unissued performances.

I may be slow but I am stupid.
And I can't open the downloaded files.
Help out a poor dumb old git with easy to follow instructions willya, somebody?
These are some funny looking file extensions - maybe the problem - changed the extension and still defeated.
Thanks
A sad loser.

It is a 7z file rather than rar - I was getting too many errors! - I Just tested it and it is okay so it is a software recognition thing. Shouldn't be hard to solve.

KingCake said...

It can be read as a zip file.

I have a different extension on each downloaded file.
After the DOT preceding where we normally read the extension, one file says 7z.001, the next 7z.002, and the last (surprise!) 7z.003
You're right - software recognition is a bust.
So I rename each file - give them what I figure is the right extension of 7z.
What extension are they supposed to wear?
Thanks.
(shopping was good - next up is a haircut)

The only problem with this outstanding collection is that it could give the false impression that it is a sufficient overview of Johnnie Taylor's entire career. There is a lot more where this came from. The Malaco period, in particular, gets very little attention here. Still, who's complaining?

HI LAZZ, you can solve your problem by opening 7z.001, 002 and OO3 files with Stuffit Expander, free on the Net, (you just put The 001 icon in the SE icon and wait ... it works for you !).
Many thanks, KC, This is First Choice Stuff.

What a loss was Johnnie Taylor to gospel! But blues and soul.were the winners with his awesome talent. Thanks.
