The Cover Girls - Greatest Hits [Mars]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This three-girl unit was conceived by the Latin Rascals (producers and, later, recording artists in their own right) as a Latina update of the Supremes. The biggest hits on this compilation prove that they are worthy of such great company, though MTV's resistance to freestyle prevented anyone here from becoming a star on the order of Diana Ross. "Show Me" is their most enduring single--with it's yearning lyrics and hyper beats, it's nearly a textbook example of freestyle in its heyday. The Girls break the frenetic mood with a token ballad, a cover of Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star." --John Sanchez

Freestyle Queens.......2007-04-21
First off, i was very proud to learn that The Cover Girls were Latina. Back in the 80's it wasn't too widely known when a performer was Latino. It was thought to be a better way of "marketing"...ok so this CD is Full of the Rhythum of freestyle..."Latino Old School"...this is our music!!!These girls are not only sexy but they're have shown to be very talented with ability to go from the dancefloor to the heart. They can serve up heaters for the freestyle dancefloor like "because of you", "inside, outside", "my heart skips a beat", and their signature song "Show Me"..."We can't go wrong" is beautiful. I also love the slow tune "Thank You"... One BIG dissapointment is that in order to get the original SLOW version of "Wishing on a star", you have to buy another CD...i love the slow version...also, track 11 is the weakest on this CD...a remake of Tina Marie's "I need you're lovin'...sorry but Tina is in a class hard to Get into...looking past this the only other thing is not to expect this CD to be 12" versions...they're all album versions, so DJ's who have graduated to CD's from VINYL...U'll have to go elsewhere for extended play versions but never the less these ladies are talented...they could easily tour with the other girl groups form the generation that was and is a STRONG voice from and for the Latino community...Music has NO COLOR but when u see you're own performing, u can't help but to be proud!!!...thank u girls
The Second Greatest Group Of Free-style!.......2007-02-13
In the late 80's, free-style ruled the dancefloors especially in places like Miami and New York and "The Cover Girls" were one of the movements biggest stars. Even though MTV did not embrace them, nor give them exposure, they managed five top 40 hits between 87-92 and several other minor hits and club favorites.
The songs that truly capture the free-style movement are "Show Me", "Inside Outside", and "Because of You" which are three of their most enduring songs. However, it was their two big ballads that became their biggest hits and those are "We Can't Go Wrong" and "Wishing On a Star."
Billboard Hot 100 chart history:
1. Spring Love #98 (1987)
2. Show Me #44 (1987)
3. Because of You #27 (1988)
4. Promise Me #40 (1988)
5. Inside Outside #55 (1988)
6. My Heart Skips A Beat #39 (1989)
7. We Can't Go Wrong #8 (1989)
8. All That Glitters Isn't Gold #49 (1990)
9. Funk Boutique #55 (1991)
10. Wishing On a Star #9 (1992)
11. Thank You #75 (1992)
So why 4 stars? Thsi collection is missing two of their chart hits..."Spring Love" and "All That Glitters Isn't Gold." Although a nice, disposable pop group, these girls were slightly overshadowed by the more successful and slightly more mainstream "Expose" and were effected by an ever changing line-up..which seems to be a common problem among girl groups since Expose had the same problem in the early 90's...as did 2day's modern equivilent "Destiny's Child." Anyways, recommended for fans of freestyle, and dance music in general.
good music.......2007-02-01
I love this cd great music and I have always been a big fan of freestyle music.
One of the best all girl groups of the 80's.......2006-08-10
I was so happy to find this "Greatest Hits" CD! The Cover Girls were one of my favorite groups of the 80's. They had it all...awesome dance music, great lyrics, and talented ladies.
Listening to their music brings back great memories of my high school days too. "We Can't Go Wrong" is an awesome love song, and "Because of You" is one of my favorite Cover Girls songs.
This is a must for any 80's music collectors!
Awesome!!!.......2006-06-29
Last month I went to drop my car at my mechanics and my radio was playing the Cover Girls-Greatest Hits. My mechanic said, "LADY YOU GOT CLASS!!! WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CD? MY WIFE ONLY LISTENS TO BRITNEY SPEARS". I love that CD so much! It takes me back when I was a teenager at New York going to Hearthrob's, The Tunnel, Emerald City, and the Paladium. Boy!Those were the great days! I also have the collection of the FREESTYLE-Megamix. Worth buying when you are a true freestyle freak, lol.
