5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-03-29

I remember my father listening to these songs way back in the late 70s. After hearing them over and over, I got to like them too. Whenever I hear them on the radio now, it always brings good memories. My favorites "Easy," "you bring me up" and "Sail On." These songs are classics. Excellent melodies and vocals.

5 out of 5 stars THE MILLENNIUM COLLESTION THE BEST OF THE COMMODORES.......2006-09-01

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE SONG OH NO AND I FINALY FOUND IT ON THIS CD. I CAN`T WAIT TO GET IT.THIS CD BRINGS ME BACK TO WHEN I WAS A KID.

4 out of 5 stars Lady, They Were Brought Up .......2006-03-06

There are just so many times when it comes to making a good hits package, they can be either good or bad, but the cases with the 20th Century Masters Millenium Collection has been either a considered hit or miss when it comes to showcasing a artist definitively. That has been the case with so many acts like Joe Cocker and Rod Stewart and classic Motown legends like Diana Ross and The Temptations. For The Commodores, the group hasn't been around in years, but there is always the possibility of finding a good hits package all theirs, following the R&B legends from Alabama.

The Commodores 20th Century Masters Millenuim Collection is a simple and convient reflection behind one of the most unique R&B groups of the 70's and 80's. The collection does a really good job at highlighting Lionel Richie and company. The songs here are arguably as simple and definitive as you could expect. The compilation includes some great party anthems like Brick House and Machine Gun, as well as classic ballads like their tribute to Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson on Nightshift, Sweet Love to even simple ballads like Three Times A Lady and Easy. While there are a lot of great tracks here, there are a couple of disadvantages to the record. One of them is that the album overhadows tracks like the Funk track Girl, I Think The World About You and Zoom. Not only that, but the tracks on the collection weren't remastered as well as well as other collections like the 1997 Ultimate Collection of The Commodores.

Despite a few flaws, The Commodores 20th Century Masters Millenium Collection is a very simple and straight forward reflection of one of the best 70's groups of all time. This is a very inexpensive, but mostly well-thought out reflection of Lionel Richie & Company. If you are on a budget and really want to get your groove on, I absolutely suggest this great album.

5 out of 5 stars More "Lionel Richie" than "Commodores" but..........2005-12-29

This 20th Century Masters is the best I've heard in the whole "20th century" series, but doesn't do too good a job at spanning the Commodores lifespan. Before Lionel Richie became a household name, The Commodores were mostly funk, as can be seen in "Brick House," the group's biggest hit, but beyond that song, the disc doesn't cover that side of the group very well at all.
But, I still give the compilation a perfect 5 star rating, because even though it covers a pretty narrow portion of the band, it covers the BEST portion. Lionel's ballads aren't nearly at the same level of genius as some of Marvin Gaye's or Stevie Wonder's greatest work, but I think they're just as enjoyable. Songs like "Sail On" and "Just To Be Close To You" will simply never get old.
I absolutely love this CD, it's one of the most played in my collection, but if you're looking for a true Commodores overview, you might want to look elsewhere.

5 out of 5 stars Nothing But The Hits.......2004-04-23

5 out of 5 stars the original dream girl.......2007-02-08

i bought this cd to compare with jennifer hudson's version of and i am telling you. just as i remember JENNIER HOLLIDAY IS THE ORIGINAL DREAM GIRL. while i like ms. hudsons's version she can't touch ms. holliday with a ten octave range pole.

5 out of 5 stars Rediscovering Jennifer! HOLLIDAY!!!.......2007-01-07

This CD is awsome because Jennifer is awesome! I loved every song...and in particular "And I Am Telling You". I saw the 2006 Movie Dream Girls, and though the talent was good, the singing came no where close to Jennifer Holliday - A SPIRITED POWERHOUSE!!!

5 out of 5 stars The most........2005-03-30

Worth it all just for the opening track...the most -successully- "over-the-top" vocal performance in recorded history. It's exhilarating just to thing of it.

5 out of 5 stars What a voice!!!!!.......2004-02-14

Jennifer Holiday has a wonderful strong voice that cannot be duplicated she sings so very well she stands in the hall of fame with Aretha Franklin and Patti Labelle but she doesn't receive the recognition that she deserves she has a powerful voice with some powerful songs I truly and really enjoy Jennifer's singing she is a native Houstonian my homegirl she is a Texas like myself My favorite songs on here are I am Love and I am telling you I'm not going she is a talented actress as well as a great singer !!!!!! Thanks, Jennifer
bring us some more good music!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Nice Highlight.......2003-03-04

This cd will spell doom for the previously released "The Best Of Jennifer Holliday" released on the Geffen label. That set was well packaged and presented, it features a stunning portrait of Jennifer, not a snapshot. That set also featured remixes, a cut from her Arista set, and an unreleased outtake. This set re-releases the "meat" of that album, with alternate selections from "Get Close To My Love." The mastering of this cd isn't as clean as the aforementioned Geffen release, at least the alternate cuts presented here are better mastered than the re-release of "Get Close To My Love" which was Jennifer's swan song for Geffen. This cd is a good introduction to Jennifer's work for the casual fan and the collector of the 20th Century Masters series. For the rest of us, the presence of the alternate tracks remastered makes for a worthwhile purchase. The tracks are the original album tracks, no remixes or extended versions of the dance hits. The out-of-print "Say You Love Me" could have been better represented, since Jennifer's other Geffen albums are available, and it would have ensured the previous compilation would have remained in print.

5 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS.......2007-05-13

VERY PLEASED WITH MY PURCHASE,SWITCH AS A WHOLE WAS A GREAT GROUP WHO MADE REMARKABLE MUSIC THAT YOU COULD FEEL AND THE MANY TALENTS OF BOBBY DEBARGE, TRULY AMAZING. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE HANDS DOWN THE SPECIAL "THERE'LL" NEVER BE" THE FIRST SWITCH SINGLE RELEASED IN 1978...THE YEAR I WAS BORN. THIS TUNE HAS A CATCHY GROOVE THE HARMONIES ARE TOP NOTCH AND THE ARRANGEMENT IS EXCELLENT. OTHER HIGH NOTES ON THE ALBUM ARE "FRIEND IN THE SKY", "DON'T TAKE MY LOVE AWAY" IN WHICH YOU REALLY GET A FEEL OF THE VOCAL RANGE BOBBY DEBARGE POSSESED FROM THE START TO FINISH OVER A NICE STRING ARRANGEMENT "YOU AND I" IS A LOVE BALLAD THAT MAKES YOU THINK AND THE VOCALS ARE OUTSTANDING AS USUAL. "LOVE OVER AND OVER" IS A NICE EQUASION OF HEARING THE GROUP SING FOR US ALL IN HARMONY, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE FLAWLESS "I CALL YOUR NAME" IN WHICH IS SAMPLED IN OUR EARS THESE DAYS WHEN WE HEAR "THROW SOME D'S" BY RICH BOY. I ALWAYS WONDER DO THESE NEW ARTISTS FEEL THE MUSIC AND KNOW THE GREATNESS OF ONE IN WHICH THEY ARE SAMPLING OR PERHAPS THEY MAYBE NEVER HEARD OF THE INDIVIDUALS. THE BEST OF SWITCH IS AN ALBUM YOU CAN PUT IN AND IT'S SURE TO RELAX YOUR MIND PUT YOU IN A GROOVE AND DELIGHT YOU.WHEN YOU ARE A TRUE MUSIC LOVER LIKE MYSELF IT NEVER GETS OLD IT JUST ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE A CHANCE AND OBSERVE THE NEW BUT IN DUE TIME YOU TEND TO COME RIGHT BACK TO THE BEST, THE BEST THAT YOU FELT IN GENUINE EXTRAORDINARY MUSIC THAT WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU GET IN THE MILLENNIUM COLLECTION OF THE BEST OF SWITCH. THANKS GENTLEMAN FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF WORK.

5 out of 5 stars I Wanna Be Closer To This Collection.......2006-10-17

Switch were an excellent group despite never making a major impact their music still remain a staple for R&B lovers. Songs like "There'll Never Be" "I Call Your Name" & "I Wanna Be Closer" are timeless jams that still receive airplay to this day on the oldies stations. The album as awhole is a treat and it gives people who were fans of their major singles to become familiar with some of their lesser known songs. It's not a full length album but this compilation is the closer you can become since most of their albums are out of print. You can't deny when you hear one of their singles on radio it makes you feel just as good now then it did when it 1st came out. "I Call Your Name" is the cut.

4 out of 5 stars There Will Never Be Another SWITCH!!!.......2005-09-06

First of all I do like the compilation, I gave it 4 stars because its basically the same album as the 1991 release Best Of...Now i love all the songs on the best of series but how could you leave off others nuggets as "I Wanna Be With You" from the first album "SWITCH" and "Calling On All Girls","You're The one For Me" and "Falling" from SWITCH II The second release, The 3rd release "This Is My Dream" Featured gems such as the title track and "Why'D You Let Love Fall" and "All I Need Is You" this release featured sister Bunny DeBarge contributing three lovely written songs, The 4th release "Reaching For tomorrow' contained nuggets such as "I've Finally Found Someone New" and the beautifully written song "My Friend In The Sky" Very inspirational and Bobby DeBarge vocals here shine through and shows you that there will never be another like him PERIOD! The last release featured the nuggets "I Luv It" and "Push The Switch(HIGH ENERGY SWITCH)" this release also introduced two new members Terrance Gaines on Lead Vocals and Attala Zane Giles on Lead & Bass Guitars ......This release signaled the departure of Bobby DeBarge and Tommy DeBarge the year was 1981. Over all Switch had Five albums for motown. Switch was a well oiled unit and they JAMMED on the Up Tempo joints and as for the Slow Jams they brought the heat wit Bobby and Phillip ingram on vocals that was a nice combo, superb songwriting and musicianship "There'll Never BE" another switch and Bobby DeBarge man with a VOICE like ANGLES of course gone too soon man, What a falsetto......WOW! Now i have all 5 albums and they are in MINT CONDITION and i will be making my own best of serious........Keep Jamming SWITCH!!!!

5 out of 5 stars the best of switch.......2005-08-03

Marvin Gaye's 1970s recordings reflected his growing awareness of social issues--"What's Going On," "Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)," "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)"--coupled with a freewheeling sexuality ("Let's Get It On," "Come Get to This," "I Want You"). On both counts, Gaye was out in front of the times, and helped shape the discussion during that turbulent time. This set does a good job of briefly limning the highlights of Gaye's '70s work; coupled with the 20th Century Masters companion volume of his '60s hits, it gives a fair if less than definitive overview of one of pop's most prolific and important hitmakers. --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars I...Think...This...Is...My...Laaaaaast...Chaaaaaance!.......2005-05-17

All the other 10 songs I've heard 100 times already but "My Last Chance", Marvin's obscure 1972 recording that was a posthomuous 1991 hit on the Billboard Hot R&B singles chart (peaking at #16), is enough to want to buy this compilation. The song alone garners four stars. It's Marvin Gaye, dammit. LOL

3 out of 5 stars There are better compilations for the money.......2001-11-08

The songs here all great examples of Marvin Gaye's later material. Unfortunately there are other single and double disc compilations that include more later material and some of his fantastic early recordings as well. For the money, buy a copy of the 2001 "Very Best of" double CD which contains the best of his Motown recordings as well as music released on Columbia in the later years. The songs here are great but will leave you wanting more (there's no "Sexual Healing"). Save a few bucks more and buy the "Very Best Of" new or used. You can build your collection from there.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction.......2000-06-09

if You Don't Have these Songs then this is a Great Introduction.Marvin Gaye is One Of The Greatest Artists Ever.His Material Speaks Of Genius.What's Going On,Mercy Mercy Me,Inner City Blues,Trouble Man,Distant Lover Live has So Much Soul&Feeling.His Work Says So Much.A Great Introduction too this Musical GIANT&LEGEND.VERY ESSENTIAL.

3 out of 5 stars Good Sampler, But It Makes Me Wanna Holla..........2000-04-13

...it has MPG's masterworks, "What's Goin' On", "Trouble Man", "Let's Get It On", "I Want You" and a treat in the Marvin & Diana cut "You're A Special Part of Me", but they were done in a compilation somewheres already and done better. Good for the 1st time Marv fan, but other than that stick to the Original albums produced by Motown and Columbia records.

5 out of 5 stars Kings of the Mid-Eighties House Party!!.......2007-03-06

If you were a rich kid in the mid-eighties, you wore Lacoste "alligator" shirts and listened to Prince. If you were a scrappy underdog from "the wrong side of the tracks" (like me), you wore a polo shirt from K-Mart (with a little slug on the front pocket) and listened to Ready For the World. I was their biggest fan -- and yes -- I was the only white guy in my junior high with a Jheri Curl. Some kids called it a "scary curl" -- but I didn't care. I wanted to be like Ready for the World, whose anthems and ballads touched the peeps so deeply. Y'all ready to feel it? To get freaky-nasty? Let's break it down:

1. Ceramic Girl (Extended Mix) -- A variation of the climactic big hits (below); Oh Sheila and Digital Display. When people get tired of those two, play Ceramic Girl.
2. Slide Over -- A slow jam that will win people over to love. You can feel the sincerity.
3. Oh Sheila -- Widely considered a plea to get Prince protege Sheila E into the Ready camp. Prince had Sheila E, Sheena Easton, Vanity, and Appolonia in his stable about that time. Ready for the World had a woman who once met Lisa Bonet at a Chuck E. Cheese party. Ready's courtship of Sheila E in order to get some "sex cred" (and some sex) was a gallant effort. I respect that. GREAT song.
4. Mary Goes 'Round (Single Version) -- Prince *wishes* he had thought up the title's single entendre.
5. Gently -- A *very* classy way to describe that sublime moment when you hear, "Go to second! Go to second!"
6. Digital Display (Radio Edit) -- The singer repeats "36, 24, 36, " and wants to "play with" a woman's "digital display." When you're in junior high, you wish all women would be busty robots! And this song nails that precious emotion.
7. Tonight -- If you you played this slow jam while you drove a babe to Safeway for a pink champale run, by the time you got back to the party she'd be all yours.
8. Long Time Coming (Single Version) -- The lyrics hint at innuendo. Actually, the lyrics just come out and say it - straight up!
9. Deep Inside Your Love -- I've studied this song like the Zapruder film, and I'm still not sure what it's about. Sounds good though.
10. My Girly (Single Version) -- Sounds a lot like Keith Sweat's "I Want Her" ("I wanna do it like this, do it like that"). But Ready for the World puts a clever twist on the song, so it has more of a "I wanna do it like THAT, do it like THIS" sound. Nice.
11. Straight Down To Business (Single Remix Version) -- A sly metaphor for doin' the do, sung in a way that makes Bobby Brown seem like Bryant Gumbel.
12. Can He Do It (Like This, Can He Do It Like That) (Extended Mix) -- Can anyone *really* do it like Ready for the World? I think not.
13. Whose Is It? (Chocolate Mix) -- Creamy, rich, tast-a, oooo yeeeah.
14. Love You Down -- May be responsible for the most slow dance hook-ups in the history of song. Also responsible for the most ruined blouses because of Jheri Curl juice smudges. (Especially on those 80's style blouses with shoulder pads!)

Let's face it: If a guy on a New York City street corner sold you a cd of Prince for pennies on the dollar, and it turned out to be Ready for the World, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. (Ready for the World are *not* the Sunshine Hydrox cookie to Prince's fancy Oreo, as the rich kids at my junior high used to say!) In fact, the next time Prince has a greatest hits album, at least three of the above songs should be on it. Seriously, I'd pay $15 just for "Oh Sheila" and "Digital Display," and their other songs are some of the best of an era... or anytime.

3 out of 5 stars ready for the world.......2006-08-05

the cd case was cracked and had some scratches on the cd itself but it played fine

5 out of 5 stars Now This Is A Compilation!.......2006-07-14

Universal's "MILLENNIUM COLLECTION" series are usually skimpy on the song selection and the time length. However, this Ready For The World compilation is a glowing exception. Clocking in at over 73 minutes, this 14-song set contains all the hits in either lengthy 12" versions ("Ceramic Girl"), full-length album versions ("Love You Down") or well-mixed radio edits ("Can He Love You Like This").

READY FOR THE WORLD's music is Prince-lite with the truly unique vocals of Melvin Riley, who represented whiny soulful singers four years before Keith Sweat stepped up to the plate. The band may have bitten off of someone else's style, but at least this talented act was able to add their own stamp to it.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection of RFTW Hits.......2005-06-29

This is a must have CD for anyone who enjoyed Ready for the World's 80s hits. As someone who owned RFTWs tapes (yes...back in the day when you bought either LPs or tapes!), I was very happy to come across this greatest hits collection.

I have always been a fan of Ready for the World from the start. Every song was a hit for me. My favorite was "love you down, Whose is it, tonight and so many more." I just hate to hear haters like the review before me of Mike Patterson. There are several artist that may sound like someone else or have similar lyrics.....but in the music business it comes down to who gets the break and who doesn't. Well, I have never heard of Mike Patterson and probably never will. Ready for the World had their fame and they could be back you never know. JUST QUIT HATING.........Lay back and enjoy the music - cause you know its good.

5 out of 5 stars Funky album by some fine looking ladies back then! .......2006-07-25

I still have this CD! They did a good job combining the best songs from the Mary Jane Girls' only 2 albums and 1986's Walk Like a Man. I go to some dances a lot and All Night Long is still a popular request for the dancers on the floor! Rick James knew how he wanted this group to sound with these dynamic funky numbers, especially 1983's Candy Man, In My House (which I heard in New Jersey in summer '85), Wild and Crazy Love (which I heard in Georgia in summer '85), Boys, I Betcha and many others. Wild and Crazy has a strong energy the first few minutes, but it's that funky instrumental section that goes for 1:57 before the final chorus! You have to get ready for that part! One of Rick's finest instrumentals outside of his own albums,proving he was a true musician in his own right! Each of the ladies had their own personality, the wild one with longer hair, the lead singer with the braids, the more conservative one and the blonde one with the leather/dominatrix image. This group has had a strong shelf life and their music is still played today in some places and at parties. If you missed out on them in the '80s, now is your time to purchase this fabulous compilation where these women expressed themselves in a presentable but yet sexy image!

5 out of 5 stars All Night Long In 1983.......2006-06-15

I was born in 1983, and 22 years later I will proudly say that "Candy Man" is still off the hook! Back in the 80's, R&B music was real and original, fresh and hip. Unlike many of today's singers, they actually had talent. Some might say that these girls were mere sexual fluff under the influence of Rick James, but I beg to differ. "All Night Long" and "Meeting In The Ladies Room" are fantastic, but "Candy Man" will get me on the dance floor every time!!!

4 out of 5 stars Relive The Eighties in Style!.......2004-03-13

If you remember Vanity 6, Appolonia ( From Purple Rain ), The Jets and Stacy Lattisaw you should remember the Mary Jane Girls, the group brought to the world by funk master Rick James. Just like Rick these girls were fashionable, bold and extremely talented. The best songs on this album are " All Night Long ", ( if you don't know this song you must be living in a box ), and " Candy Man ". Other big hits include " In My House " and " Walk Like A Man ". The Mary Jane girls may not have stayed around long but their music lives on. Some see them as masters of soul. Other see them as fluff music but no matter what you think of the Mary Jane girls, they helped defined an era built on sexuality and female independence.

3 out of 5 stars Memories Galore!!.......2004-03-02

Awww, snap. I just picked this up and "CandyMan" is slamming right now! Brings back fond memories of my youth. "All Night Long", "In My House", "Boys" - this CD is worth having if you were a MJG fan back in the day.

5 out of 5 stars a Must.......2001-10-11

The Mary Jane Girls did more with Two ALbums than Many do with 10 times more.Together with the Funk Mind&Groove of Rick James they Created many Classic Jams that have since been Sampled,Looped&Re-Made so much."In My House" still Blasts Loudly here.that Jam is Timeless."All Night Long" has Been Sampled&Re-Played a ton as well&It still Bumps.can't get enough of these Jams.they truly captured the time.enjoy.

4 out of 5 stars Flashy, Fun, and Flamboyant.......2007-05-31

The Circus March is unfortunately a style of music that is often ignored, yet can be one of the most difficult things to play. Musicians almost have to have a feel for it to achieve the desired effect. Each march contained herein captures both excitement, showmanship, and even a certain degree of comedy that is associated with this style. Listening to these brings back a by-gone era of bearded ladies, roller coasters, and kettle corn. If you play this regularly, you may even begin to smell the peanuts roasting....

5 out of 5 stars stunning musical review.......2005-09-27

This is music I have not heard, or played, for years. Most impressive musicianship. And the tempos are unbelievable! For this size group, it is amazing--and nothing less would be expected.

I am a retired music teacher, and this brought me back to the times when I played in large marching bands, or smaller groups for the local rodeo, as a college student. Great excitement in listening, and being swept away to a time when I had less to worry about.

The music itself has a great affect on me, besides the impressive way in which it is delivered. Great sound. Great precision. Great music that just isn't played or used much anymore. How fun to relive those moments--especially the ones featuring the trombone.

5 out of 5 stars Nice and lively!.......2004-04-28

I was specifically looking for music of the circus and this recording just blew me away. It is clean and well done -- technically speaking. The Eastman Wind Ensemble is spectacular! If you are looking for something that sounds like a circus band, this is NOT it. This is a very professional, high quality recording of some of the best march music ever composed.

5 out of 5 stars Sounds even better than when I first heard it.......2004-03-01

When I first heard the last eleven marches on this recording; I heard them on tape, and I really enjoyed them, this was back in 1988 when I was in the seventh grade. When I moved in the winter of 1988, I lost that tape. I was very sad when I did, and it was not until the summer of 2002 that I saw this recording at amazon; 14 years later still great, and sounds even better on CD than it did on tape. This time was even better, because it has even more marches, in the old tape, it had what on this recording are tracks 17-28. Tracks 1-16 are equally good, this recording is of a great sentimental value for me...I hope you enjoy as much as I have 14 years later....

5 out of 5 stars A staple.......2003-06-14

A great collection of marches not by Sousa conducting by none other than Fennell. You can't go wrong having this in your band CD collection.

Possessed of one of pop music's great voices, Patti Labelle has done the girl-group thing with the Bluebells, and thrown down the full-on funk with LaBelle. Her solo career found LaBelle trying on both up-tempo dance hits and classy soul ballads. This short set is from her latter period, reflecting such triumphs as "On My Own," her duet with Doobie Brother Michael McDonald that was a No. 1 pop hit, and the touchingly compassionate "Oh People." "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up," her R&B hits from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack now sound dated because of the '80s-specific production touches, but other songs--"When You Talk About Love" and "When You've Been Blessed"--show off her dynamic voice to good advantage. This set is not quite the equal of 1996's Greatest Hits, but it has a lot to recommend it nonetheless. --Daniel Durchholz

3 out of 5 stars Defnitive, But Not All That Collection.......2003-12-30

There are just so many artists these days that truly set the stages for what Soul music should actually sound like. Particularly, I wish I could say the exact same thing about Greatest Hits collections, largely because they always seem to miss something. For Patti LaBelle, she still is one of the Greatest Voices of our generation today. Sadly, I don't think a lot of people really respect her today, as they did back in the 70's and 80's. No matter what others think, she still has a tone that is absolutely gold. Her voice still continues to be an influence anyway.

The 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection, is a series of records that are more for the budget oriented who actually can't afford the greater-priced albums. The flipside is that they really don't carry a whole lot of weight in music. For the Patti LaBelle edition, is does seem to have a few flaws in the boundaries, but has some great songs including On My Own with Michael McDonald, When You Talk About Love, If You Ask Me To, and New Attitude. The downside is that the music really wasn't remastered adequately, and a whole lot of art and music is missing from the collection including Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is), If Only You Knew, Love, Need and Want You, I'm In Love Again, and a whole amount of other great Patti LaBelle tracks. Largely, the record only consists of her perios with her MCA / Universal Years, and not any of her years with The BlueBelles, and with LaBelle.

Although this seems like a dissapointment, it does really signify Patti LaBelle's revival by a longshot. I just hope that Universal and other record labels she's appeared on can really release something so outrageous, like a boxed set soon of Patti LaBelle and her music. As for the collection, I only suggest you get it, if you've never heard of her voice before. You might want to pass this one up.

5 out of 5 stars A True Diva.......2003-03-31

I had the opportunity to listen all of Patti's music as well as seen her perform on stage. I met Patti three times personally. First time her first time performing in Shreveport, LA. The second time was also in Shreveport 4 years later, she chose my nephew Larry Ellis as one of her backup singers at this concert. I met her upclose and personally in Tuncia MS., what an experience. The lady is as true as her music, you can't help but to fall in love with her music it's so real!! I will go all over the world supporting Patti and her music, although my nephew no longer sings with her but I loved Patti before and still love her afterwards.

4 out of 5 stars Lady Soul's best.......2003-01-08

I fell in love with Patti's voice way back in highschool when she was duetting with Michael McDonald.
It was 1986 and ON MY OWN just hit the # 1 spot in the US.
The song was soooo good, her voice so powerful and emotional.
I kept an eye on the lady for quite a while since then, and although i must admit she released lots of other nice tunes, her full albums never satisfied me in full, too many fillers.
On the contrary this hits collection is probably the best way to showcase what she accomplished from the '80's on.
It was such a surprise to see this greatest hits compilation being released after such a short span of time from the release of the "official" one.
Well, in my opinion this is so much better.
As well as the above-mentioned tune, it includes also the fraternity hymn OH PEOPLE, the slow-burning jam KISS AWAY THE PAIN, some three soundtrack tunes (the irresistable NEW ATTITUDE and STIR IT UP from Beverly Hills Cop and IF YOU ASKED ME TO -the original version written by Diane Warren and later covereed by Celine Dion- from a James Bond movie).
There is a funky and infectuous song composed by Prince, and a contagious couple of tracks supervised by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis - WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT LOVE is definitely one of those black dancefloor winner..!
You absolutely will be better off buying this...

4 out of 5 stars great overview of her later career.......2002-11-11

Initially I didn't bother picking this album up because it didn't have any of Patti's great earlier stuff and I was worried much of her 80s output would be too dated to really enjoy. I need not have worried - this album is a joy. Yes, New Attitude, Stir It Up and Yo Mister do sound dated but they are still great fun and some of the other stuff is just sensational. When You Talk About Love is the real highlight with a great vocal arrangement and Patti's sassy wails over the top. Other great tracks include When You've Been Blessed and Feels Like Another One. Even the Dianne Warren-penned tracks are not that bad - saved mostly by Patti's delicious delivery.

5 out of 5 stars A good collection of Patti's Songs.......2002-09-23

I had never been a Patti Labelle fan until I bought this collection and then I loved On my own with former doobie brothers lead singer Michael Mcdonald and then I liked this album it features lots of Patti's 80's hits from the ballad Oh People to the fun Stir It up one of the two tracks featured on the Beverly Hills cop soundtrack to the very funny Yo Mister featured on Patti's 1989 album Be Yourself then there's her version of If you ask me to featured in the James Bond film License To Kill in my eyes is way better than Celine Dion's version. We also get The right kinda lover which surprisingly is the only track That is taken from Patti's 1994 Album Gems. The only drawback is that I never stopped loving you is not on here I would also recommend Patti's 1982 greatest Hits cd The Best Of Patti Labelle

I had forgotten about Klymaxx until I heard the song "I'd Still Say Yes" on the Radio. I enjoyed the song, found out it was Klymaxx and bought this CD! The 12-inch version's of "The Men All Pause," "Meeting in the Ladies Room," "Sexy" and "I'd Still Say Yes" could more than justify the price! "I Miss You" is also a personal favorite! For once, I give this collection "5" stars! Good job, Klymaxx and MCA Records

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2005-10-24

This album is well put together with upbeat tracks along with a flavor of romance. The Klymaxx band is definitely a group to give an ear to. The music,that driving energy, the orchestration sends this person to an all-time in the music industry!

5 out of 5 stars Sexy.......2004-09-16

The Go-Go's got an awful lot press for being a true all girl band. But Klymaxx, not so much. I never knew why. Men All Pause and Meeting in the Ladies Room, burned up the clubs. Patrons went crazy. These girls be funky. Certainly not BW!. Lorena Lungs could rip the songs like no one else. Listening to her sing Sexy makes me wonder why record producers these days seek out voices like Amerie's (light and pretty,but light on emotion). Ballad or bumper, these ladies rocked, in the truest sense. Bernadette Cooper, bless her crazy self went on to produce a great album for herself and for Alisa Randolph (try to find these gems on Amazon!). I miss this group. These Divas Need Love Too!

5 out of 5 stars REAL Klymaxx website.......2004-02-13

Absolutely a MUST-HAVE for anyone who loves 80's music (or just excellent pop/funk/r&b!)
These ladies are the REAL DEAL. In an industry that was controlled and dominated by men, a young lady named Bernadette Cooper pulled together an amazing group of talents including Joyce "Fenderella" Irby, Lorena "Lungs" Stewart and Lynn Malsby. These Original Divas WROTE this music, they PLAYED the instruments, and they SANG the vocals. What's more, they kicked a** at it all!!
Recently featured on an episode of VH1's "Bands Reunited", there is now renewed interest (to say the least!) in the original Klymaxx.
By the way, if you want to check out the REAL, original Klymaxx's website, go to WWW.KLYMAXX.ORG

5 out of 5 stars The REAL Klymaxx website.......2004-02-13

If you want to listen to some of the BEST from the 80's from "THE ORIGINAL DIVAS" - well, here it is! This stuff is GREAT!
By the way, you can find the REAL Klymaxx website at "WWW.KLYMAXX.ORG"
The original members of Klymaxx were also recently featured on a fantastic episode of VH1's "Bands Reunited" series.
Basically, if you're into 80's music (or just damn good pop/funk/r&b) you've GOTTA have this CD in your collection...period!!

5 out of 5 stars Sweet , smooth, seductive and alluring........2005-06-23

This 12-track compilation of RG&B's best Polydor recordings from 1979-83 is chock-full of timeless ballads from one of R&B's all-time best groups. The liner notes are also very informative and the sound quality on all 12 songs is excellent. My only complaint is that their 1986 hit "Take It To The Limit" was omitted from this otherwise excellent collection.

5 out of 5 stars Old School Is The Best!.......2004-01-01

The vocal stylings of Ray, Goodman & Brown are legendary since the late 60's & early 70's of the "Moments" (aka Ray, Goodman & Brown) one of the greatest ballad groups in R&B. These guys sang like there were 5 voices instead of only three. The emotions invoked by this group can bring out the best in a romance. Legendary love songs like "Part of You", "Inside of You", & "Happy Anniversary" are done with flair and sensetivity. The soaring first tenor throughout these classic melodies is a treat and sound better & better with age. For a true fan of the male groups of the 60's, 70's & 80's with tight harmony like the Stylistics, Temps, & Spinners can't afford to pass this one up. You and that special love will enjoy every melody and the intricate vocal interweavings. Great stuff!!!!
