The soulful duo of James Williams and Hubert Eaves III, who recorded as D Train, scored a bevy of R&B and dance hits in the early-1980s, all of which are collected on this compilation, including their biggest hit "You're the One for Me."
Arranger: Hubert Eaves III.
The most irritating thing about D Train's best-of is that it favors a remix of "You're the One for Me" over the superior, original album version. Most people have that exact song pop immediately into her or his head whenever the name D Train is brought up, so it's a shame to not have its definitive version available on something designed as a first-stop. Otherwise, The Best of D Train covers all the bases, including "Keep Giving Me Love," "Keep On," "Music," "Something's on Your Mind," and five others. This duo was one of the first and only to combine funk, soul, and gospel with electronic elements, and much of what they left behind remains powerful and fresh. They are one of the most exemplary post-disco/pre-house groups, and have remained influential within dance music for over two decades. ~ Andy Kellman
