On Breakfast in Bed, her first release on Time Life Records (yes, that Time Life) Joan Osborne tackles a crop of hand-picked soul and R&B favorites with equal parts sass and sensitivity. Long an underappreciated artist, Osborne is a performer with the wisdom to exercise vocal restraint for an effect that's more Dusty Springfield than Christina Aguilera. Her fine previous outing interpreting soul standards was aptly titled How Sweet It Is, and witness her contribution to the terrific 2002 film Standing in the Shadows of Motown, where Osborne's astute readings of "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" and "Heatwave" outshone performers like Ben Harper and Gerald Levert (happily, both songs are included here). The title track and Hall and Oates' "Sara Smile" are both canny choices that play to her strengths in delivering credible blue-eyed soul, and six new Osborne-penned songs fit neatly into the record. If her compositions pale a bit next to the classics she covers (with the sultry and slithery exception of the excellent "Eliminate the Night"), give Osborne credit for bravely placing herself side-by-side with songwriting luminaries like Holland-Dozier-Holland and Bill Withers. Breakfast in Bed makes for a leisurely listen on a sunny Sunday morning, so put up your feet and stay awhile. --Ben Heege
Album Description
Joan Osbourne's recently recorded album pays homage to the great Soul and R&B songs of the late '60s and early '70s. The album features a unique combination of unforgettable interpretations of timeless R&B classics. Her first single to radio will be "I've Got to Use My Imagination."
Customer Reviews:
You can't go wrong........2007-07-25
This intriguing mix cover songs and originals make this a very enjoyable collection, although the covers are not as varied as say Annie Lennox's Medusa but still engaging all the same. The tracks seem to pull you in more and more with each listen. "Baby is a Butterfly", "Sarah Smile" and "Cream Dream" were all particularly absorbing the first time through. The production is very good and clean. Her voice is as mesmerizing and sensual as always. You can't go wrong.
Better & Better.......2007-07-24
I can never believe how Joan tops herself time and again. Since I first heard Spiderweb before Relish was widely released I knew I was in for a stunner. Over the years I've collected pretty much all Joan's recording including trades of several soundboard live recordings. With Breakfast in Bed Joan delivers once again.The songs are well chosen and as always the CD is perfectly balanced.
Her original recordings fit in with the covers she selected. I've been waiting for over two years for her to deliver these original works. I saw her perform in an obscure venue in Southern Connecticut where she was trying out her chops on these numbers. Keep up with the Soul, R
Exactly as advertised.......2007-07-22
As one reviewer noted, this release is somewhat monotone. Still, it's a relaxing and quality release from Joan that my wife really likes. Getting "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" is a bonus.
A couple of the originals are really excellent, stay in your head tunes. I'd say if your having Breakfast in Bed, it works. But it's not an all occasions, "hey check this out" kind of release.
Joan O. has got it.......2007-07-19
I'm becoming a bigger fan of Joan every day. I loved her last album, Pretty Little Stranger, even though it was a bit country for her, and I'm not a country music fan. I'm interested in checking out this collection of her covering pop hits. She does covers well, and her voice is so obviously hers, that even though it might be a song you have heard enough times already in your life, hearing the "Joan" version is always a treat. I'm sorry this is not a review of this album in particular, I do plan to get it soon. I'll let you know then! I'm giving 5 stars based on the Amazon video and audio samples. What I can say is that her previous albums are all great, and her live shows are awesome, especially if you can be lucky enough to see her in a smaller venue.
The first time I saw her was pretty much by accident. I wound up crossing through the front of a very large crowd between acts at a Woodstock reunion in Bethel, NY (not Pepsistock in Saugeraties), in the late 90's. Then Joan and her band came on and I'm front and center and she blew me away with St. Teressa or something like that. I've been a fan ever since.
Fantastic voice and song list.......2007-07-12
Most know Joan for her 90's hit "If God Was One of Us." She is far from those days. Most would be astounded to hear what Joan;s voice is capable of, as that song only trapped her into a simple octave throughout its verses.
Here in "Breakfast In Bed", Joan takes the jazz practice of covering American classics and favorites in her dynamic, raspy alto voice. This is a great CD, my favorites include the live performances of "Heatwave" and "What Becomes of a Broken Hearted" with Motown's Funk Brothers; and classics "Natural High" and "Sara Smile."
Check the song list, if you find any of your old favorites the GET THIS CD, you will definately not be disappointed. However "What Becomes of a Broken Hearted" is worth the $13 alone.

Log onto an India.Arie lyrics page and you won't come away expecting an easy-breezy listen--here's an artist, remember, who made a name for herself by declaring her disdain for silicone and Cristal on her 2001 debut. What's consistently a revelation for new recruits to the Arie camp, then, is how good the music makes you feel. No matter how heavy the subject matter (and it still gets heavy--God surfaces in the first verse of "Intro," the prayerful opening song), she delivers it in such a way that it ends up feeling like homespun wisdom--accessible, cloudless, and heartening. Testimony, no minor R&B/soul achievement, is full of such earth-mother moments: "The Heart of the Matter," a cover of the Don Henley song, is what a hug might sound like if it were music; "There's Hope" reminds tunefully that you don't have to pay to smile ("You better thank God for that"); "Private Party" points up the benefits of getting naked before a mirror and liking what you see (impossible as that sounds, it'll seem less so after listening); and "I Am Not My Hair," a sexy thumper featuring Akon, celebrates not the hair, not the skin, but "the soul that lives within." Musically, "Testament" is a testament to the benefits of branching out; in addition to gospel and hip-hop, you'll also find country and pure pop forays here. All of it works, and works wondrously. Arie may be the Oprah of the music world: she's spiritual, she's got her head screwed on straight, and whatever she touches turns to gold. Or at least it ought to. --Tammy La Gorce
Customer Reviews:
Great Album.......2007-07-20
I can't lie, I am more of a hip-hop head than a R&B guy, but I can't front this is a great album. I heard a song from this album playing in someone else's car one day when I was coming from work and had to get it just to see how it was and I love it. This is great chill music. India.Arie is a great artist and deserves alot more acclaim than she already gets from the poetry, jazz club, type of crowd that she normally receives it from. Great overall album.
All Time Favorite Album Right Now!.......2007-07-17
India's lyrics really speak from her soul without any sugar coating or whining. On top of that she is rhythmically and melodically talented. She keeps it real and I love her for that. Very inspirational! I recommend this album to anyone who loves r & b and has been craving some r & b with inspirational, moving lyrics that you can identify with.
OUTSTANDING !!!!.......2007-07-16
I saw this product on Oprah and I took a chance and purchased it. I was not disappointed. Has a great sound and wonderful message for all.
Inspiring.......2007-07-13
This is an awesome CD. Every song is inspirational and uplifting. Whenever I need a lift in spirits, I put it on and it puts me in a good mood.
Great CD.......2007-07-03
Love this CD. It is fun,happy,energizing. Her voice is beautiful. I'm tired of all the new artists sounding alike so it's great to hear some diversity in style and sound. Buy this CD.

Amazon.com essential recording
Songs in the Key of Life (1976) was the highest high point of Stevie Wonder's career. More sprawling than Innervisions and Talking Book, this two-LP-plus-EP was also less of a consistent stunner than either of those masterworks. That Songs retains an enormous amount of visionary relevance, though, is demonstrated not only in Coolio's borrowing of "Pastime Paradise" as a template for "Gangsta's Paradise," but in the cold-as-ice synthesized string quartet of "Village Ghetto Land." This is Stevie, so naturally that cut's anger is balanced by the ultra-buoyant "I Wish," "Sir Duke," and "Another Star." The 2000 reissue boasts radically improved remastered sound. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
My first choice for a desert island.......2007-07-08
Undeniably classic Stevie Wonder. If you're a fan you have to have this one; if you're new to Stevie this is the place to start. Unlike some of his sugar sweet music from the 1980s, Songs In The Key Of Life has some melodies that can only be described as "haunting" -- they stay with you a lifetime. Some believe that a great meal should be paired with a great wine. Here, each melody is paired with the right lyrics. It's perfect and it's also the one album I would take if I could take only one to a desert island banishment.
The definition of music at its best........2007-06-17
If you check your local music store and looked through the Stevie Wonder CDs, you are likely to find this album more than the other albums (aside from "A Time To Love.") Though this album is over 30 years old, it's still in demand, and with a good reason: the 21 songs on this album are some of the greatest works to ever enter the music industry.
Most artists these days stick to one type of music, rarely trying something different. Wonder, on the other hand, has mastered not only his usual R&B and funk songs such as "I Wish," but on this album he also throws in some Latin, classical and funk/rock fusion twists, and he delivers them just as well as his usual genre.
Wonder without a doubt has talent in songwriting. He sings about almost everything that you can sing about, such as world peace ("Love's In Need Of Love Today"), love ("Knocks Me Off My Feet"), heartbreak ("Another Star"), world problems ("Village Ghetto Land") and equality ("Black Man") to name a few. No matter what he sings about he delivers some of the best vocals, lyrics and composing of all time. Most of his songs are upbeat and danceable, such as "Ngiculela" and "Sir Duke." "As" and "Summer Soft" are the most beautiful, poetic songs on the album and the music accompanying them are just as extraordinary. The funk songs Wonder is known for are also here. "I Wish" and "All Day Sucker" are funkier than "Superstition" from the album "Talking Book." "Ebony Eyes" is a very fun song that has a slight Beatles feel to it.
Wonder also includes two instrumentals: "Contusion" and "Easy Goin' Evening." Both of them show Wonder's skill with instruments, especially the harmonica (in "Easy Goin' Evening") which he is very well known for. "Contusion" is a great display of R&B/rock fusion and is very fun to dance to.
With twenty-one songs on this album, each of them some of the greatest songs ever, it's difficult to not like the album. This is music at its absolute best.
You Can't NOT Give This Album 5 Stars.......2007-06-08
I never really considered myself a Stevie Wonder fan, but after listening to this album, I realize why people love him so much. The songs off this album have been sampled and re-recorded by so many other artists it's scary! His R&B songwriting was second to none during the mid 70s.
stevie really wonder.......2007-05-13
great album: one of my favourites through all times. I already own the LP but on cd the quality is excellent. great buy!!!
10 STARS FOR SOUL.......2007-05-02
You know I found the album of him with two records and listening to it is just so AMAZING!!! Look at all the instruments Mr. Stevie Wonder plays and how he composes each and every song, along with the wisdom Stevie kicks down from his songs. I mean, what ever happened to all that SOUL in today's music???
Much love for the parents and the purpose that Stevie Wonder has continued to live out!

Cynical types will accuse Disney of milking the "greatest" concept until it's drier than Tinkerbell's fairy dust ("Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious," "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da," and "Heigh Ho" were hits off of Vol. 1; "Bare Necessities," "It's a Small World," and "Some Day My Prince Will Come" stole the show on Vol. 2), but a glimpse of this installment's track listing is all it'll take to squash their suspicions. Once again running reverse-chronologically, Vol. 3 opens with Jonatha Brooke's gorgeously achy ballad "I'll Try," from 2002's arguably not-so-great Return to Neverland, and gradually reaches back through the years to re-raise the curtain on Toy Story 2 ("When She Loved Me," performed by Sarah McLachlan), The Lion King ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight"), Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews's classic "A Spoonful of Sugar"), Pinocchio ("Give a Little Whistle"), and a bundle of treasured others, bottoming out at 1933's "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" from The Three Little Pigs. Vol. 3 is not without its weak moments--would a G-rated movie-goers' poll produce Beauty and the Beast's "Gaston" or The Hunchback of Notre Dame's "Topsy Turvy" on a hits list? Seems unlikely. Still, the bulk of these tracks are, as the included Little Mermaid song goes, "Part of Your World," and the spread of decades they represent proves their staying power. Don't expect Disney to latch the lid on its inexhaustible archives until a dozen or so of these records, each as strong as the next, beckon you back for more. --Tammy La Gorce

Timeless Disney Music.......2007-05-07
Nothing brings sweet recollection of Disney movies like hearing the wonderful songs. In an age where there so much music with no redeeming qualities, these Disney CDs are priceless. Wonderful for the entire family to listen to around the house or in the car while traveling. We can't help but sing along. We love that these are the original tracks from the movies! Wonderful! We now have all three volumes.
Disney songs are the best.......2006-03-18
I love the songs on this volume. I'll Try by Jonatha Brooke is such an amzing somg. I especially bought this CD fort that song but, was pleasantly surprsed by the rest of the playlist.
Great Disney Music.......2006-02-21
I have bought the first 2 volumes of Disney's Greatest Hits and the 3rd volume doesn't disapoint. My 2 young children love to listen to this CD and talk about the movies that they come from. A definate must have!
Not as good as Vol 1 and Vol 2.......2005-09-11
This Disney CD represents the "leftovers" that didn't make it on Vol 1 and Vol 2 of this series. Although it has some of my favorites, I don't listen to the entire CD often. Disney could have done a better job of editing the which sound files should make the cut on this one. Still, it's nice to have all 3 CDs.

Best CD ever.......2007-07-22
This is an amazing CD. A must for every WOMAN!!! She is a fabulous song writer and artist. The words to her songs are very inspiring and I think very young woman should listen to them and take them to heart and follow what she says. Remember "There's Hope"!!!
An empowering gift.......2007-06-01
I've bought this for a friend and she loved it. This CD is a very good listen for women to look at themselves, discover what's inside of them and empowers them with song to build on their strengths.
Groove on Sister!.......2007-05-28
Don't you love smooth, real, natural sounds that mellow your state of mind after a wicked day ... buy India ... such a breath of fresh "air" after all the other sounds out there.
She does it again.......2007-05-18
For me her best cd is Voyage To Inda, plus this cd is more for women but, you don't have to relate to appreciate... when the music is good its good... so I had to give this one 5 stars for songs like, Good Mourning and Wings Of Forgiveness. Also I bought this cd in the uk and got a great bonus track, the cherry on top of a good cd.
If you like India, check out Raul Midon's State Of Mind and Donnie's The Colored Section.
Stunning!.......2007-04-14
From the second I heard her debut single, "Video," in 2001, I knew that I would be a fan for life. I didn't completely love either of her first CDs. Her debut was nice, but a few songs were iffy for me. Her second album felt a little rushed and seemed like a handful of great tracks tossed in with a bunch of filler material. And I could never stand her interludes, sorry to say. By no means did I not enjoy the CDs. I would probably give both four stars, but the point is... I had never been able to listen to one of her albums straight through, even though I love her. Until now, that is.
This album was so unexpected. It was one of the most pleasant surprises of the year for me. The whole thing is amazing. I listen to it straight through all the time, interludes and all! Her voice has improved so much; it has gained a new purity and it is now smooth as butter. It glides over the tracks. The production is flawless. She has added a lot of other influences in the mix, including country and gospel. Her re-make of "Heart of the Matter" made me love the song, a small miracle in itself. I listen to "Wings of Forgiveness" every morning, as well as "I Choose" and "Better People."
In short, this album is absolutely amazing. It is one of my favorites of all time! Each song is excellent, has a catchy melody, and delivers a great message. I demand that you buy this album. I cannot wait until Volume 2, Life & Politics. She has supposedly begun recording and it's supposed to come out later this year.

During one of the "interludes" on My Life, Keith Murray is rapping about "Grab your cranium for my ultimatum," when someone in the studio control booth asks producer Chucky Thompson, "Hey, Chuck, put on some of that smooth [stuff]." Murray disappears; the dreamy synth chords of Blige's title track emerge, and her sultry voice moans with a combination of weary loneliness and unslaked desire. The ballad which follows is "smooth" but never slick, for the singer's sinuous, extended notes confess the blues even as they yearn for something better. It's tempting to see this little scenario--the rapper being turned off in favor of the soul diva--as a repudiation of hip-hop in favor of old-fashioned R&B. An honest listen to this album, however, makes such an interpretation impossible. Blige does no actual rapping herself on her long-awaited second outing, but the sound of "My Life" would have been impossible without hip-hop. The results confirm the promise of Blige's '92 debut; she is the premier soul diva of the hip-hop generation. --Geoffrey Himes

The best of Mary's music.......2007-06-09
Of all her CD's, this one has to be the best and that's not putting the others down in any way. My Life had less street edge than What's the 411, but the CD showed so much growth of maturity. She put her heart and soul into and you can feel the emotion whether she was happy or sad. I remember right before this CD came out, i was wondering how was she going to top the first one and i am glad to say, there was no let down with this one. I have been a big fan since the debut, but this still remains my favorite Mary J. Blige CD.
Awesome.......2007-05-13
This is the CD to have. I LOVE this CD. Huge Mary J fan.
Mary's mid 90s peak as the hood's female savior....................2007-02-13

The Best.......2007-01-19
Out of all of MJB's CD's, this one has always been my fav. I have purchased this CD in the past at least 4 times. The majority of the songs on here are sung with great passion and meaning. MJB really delivered on this one.
By Far One of the Greatest CDS of all time!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-12-31
I love Mary J. Blige. But on this sophormoric effort, she is at her best lyrically, and vocally. If What's the 411? introduced her, it was this CD that etched her title as the Queen of Hip-Hop into the history books. The sentencing of these songs and the quality of these songs along with the pain and agony in which Mary J. Blige sings about has made her the MJB we have all come to love. Of all the CDs that she has released, it does not get any greater than this. This is a CD now in which one needs to press play and sit back. Mary is nominated for 8 Grammys for her lastest CD, the Breakthrough, which I have given 4 1/2 stars, the only reason is that there is My Life before it. What's the 411 and Share my World were phenomenal, but this is her masterpiece. A bonfied classic. Long live the Queen.

mega-talented musician.......2007-03-26
Peabo Bryson has an incredible voice and it really shines through on this album. It truly is the best of Peabo!
Truly one of the greatest Soul balladeers ever........2006-09-02
Universally recognized and revered as one of THE soul ballad's master singers. Peabo Bryson is nonetheless an underrated singer who has only received the success and acclaim he so deserves sporadically. Most of his big Capitol hits are featured here but it would have been nice to have more LP-only tracks also included. If you are a fan of classy, smooth and timeless romantic R&B/Soul music...waste no time in getting this fabulous CD.
Good Buy!.......2006-07-20
Peabo Bryson never lets me down. His music is superb and this CD bears witness to that fact. Really enjoyable.

Absolutely Perfect!!!!!!!!!.......2006-04-04
To me Peabo Bryson has one of the most clear and magical voices I have ever heard.I mean Peabo has the perfect voice.He puts so much emotion and feeling into every song that he sings,I mean it's almost like he's actually singing to you personally.I love this collection.It has every song that I love on it,it is definitely worth the money.I am so in love with this man.My personal favorites are,"Feel The Fire","I'm So Into You","I Can Make It Better","Closer Than Close","Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You",and "We Don't Have To Talk About Love". Basically, what I'm trying to say is that if you like Peabo Bryson you are definitely gonna love this collection,I guarantee it.
The best voice EVER @}->---.......2006-03-08
I've reviewed a few other Peabo cds and I always say the same thing; his voice is magical and beautiful. He is so talented and this is some of his best work.
If you are new to his music (where have you been?), then this is a good starting point, but for his bigger fans, this is only a sprinkle of material and there are many more popular songs than represented here. I give this 5 stars for the voice that is so smooth and heavenly, but realistically, he has zillions of cd's with his hits on them and there really isn't anything special here. I do still love Can You Stop The Rain and If Ever You're In My Arms Again.
Check this out for his voice, but get a few of his cds for more variety.

Amazon.com's Best of 1999
Gray starts from a solid foundation of retro funk and soul and builds on it by adding hip-hop signifiers and modern studio techniques. The result is one of the better debuts of the year, thanks to Gray's blunt proclamations ("I've committed murder... and I don't feel bad about it") and inimitable vocal phrasing. On How Life Is offers the sass of a '20s blueswoman plus the don't-mess-with-me strength of a 21st-century R&B icon-in-the-making. --Keith Moerer
Amazon.com
Macy Gray's debut draws heavily on '70s funk traditions to make its progressive-R&B points. With help from a band including former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Arik Marshall, she uses her raw yet controlled voice to celebrate sex ("Sexomatic," "Caligula"), God ("I Can't Wait to Meetchu"), and injustice ("I've Committed Murder"). Gray's songwriting doesn't seem fully developed yet, but On How Life Is is a striking first shot nonetheless. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
Perfection..........2007-05-13
...as always, perfection. I have recently introduced my soon-to-be 70 year old mother to Macy with this album. Needless to say she is now a fan. Just buy this album, you will be glad you did.
Groovy.......2006-09-01
If you're like me, you like all different types of music depending on your mood. When you're not sure what you want to hear but you want to get in the groove, this is the CD you want to listen to.
One word: unique.......2006-05-08
Macy Gray literally hit the charts in 2000 completely out of nowhere. Her unique sound and listenable R&B singles like "I Try" caught the music industry completely out of left field, and Gray herself achieved numerous nominations and awards at many award shows, and deservedly so. Though she isn't the best singer by any means, her style is consistent and deliciously unique. "I Try" is, of course, the standout track on her debut album On How Life Is, and it remains to be her biggest hit. The remaining songs on her record follow suit: from the revenge-driven "I've Committed Murder" to the soul-induced "Do Something," On How Life Is remains a debut album from an individualistic singer-songwriter that is both completely original and completely irresistible.
What The %#&@ Is This??!.......2005-11-22
How long of a career do you think this funk diva will have, eh? I give her at the most, say, five years before she completely shreds her raspy sandpaper-on-broken glass voice. Will I celebrate? YES. Oh, to be rid of this monstrosity of a singer! Anyone who buys ANYTHING by Macy Gray does not deserve eardrums, because this ain't music, it's pure torture. What a waste of Vinyl Chloride!!! Excuse me, I just had to clear my throat. Heh-heh-eh-hack-hack!!

Thank you Kindred for Keeping Neo-Soul on the Map!.......2007-06-04
Deciding which albumn is better - their first or second - is no easy task. They're equally amazing. There's no doubt after listening to this duo on their sophmore cut that fate brought them together. Their songs are so positive and down-to-earth. The vocals are strong and harmonic. I have listened to this CD over and over many times in my car. I especially enjoyed track 6 and the title cut. Be sure to get their 1st albumn as well. Neo-soul and R&B fans love you Kindred!!!
In This Life Together . . . . finally family music has exemplary appeal!.......2007-05-15
I must say, family music has never sounded better. Kindred the Family Soul has a full CD project hit! This CD will definitely have longevity and Kindred will definitely be remembered for years to come---just like Ashford and Simpson. With all of the "let's break-up" and get into self--"self absorbed" music on the market today, it is refreshing to hear "love of family" music that also speaks to the real-life family issues and struggles while possessing positive answers. This is a "let's be real with each other" project that speaks directly to the heart of family. All of the family issue bases are covered, with love, forgiveness and endurance being the answer. I would recommend this to all married couples, husbands and wives of all ages and durations of years. Let's get back to love, strength, forgiveness, compassion and endurance in family, and if you don't know how to express it in words to the one's you love, then purchase this CD and give it as a gift----enough said! Kindred the Family Soul should be right up there with Indie Arie and Amel Larrieux. These three artists have their own styles and direct messages that are definitely worth a listen. Keep Kindred the Family Soul's In This Life Together CD with your own personal family photo album, yes, it is just that good!
I Love This Group.......2007-05-12
The CD really explores the in's and out's of married life as a young adult. I truly appreciate the honesty and love this couple expresses through the music.
LIFE AFFIRMING. WONDERFUL. KINDRED is fantastic........2007-03-14
Add this project to your collection TODAY! I traditionally have a four track rule - if I like at least 4 tracks of a CD I purchase it. I LOVE (with a passion) 10 tracks on this CD. The ones I don't love I LIKE ALOT. It is music with a message - harmonies that move your body ...a project that affirms my soul. peace! - SHAASHAWN "the voyce" :)
Kindred Soul is all that!!!.......2007-03-08
I also have their first CD. I enjoyed almost all of the songs on this album from the first time that I listened to it. It has a nice mellow sometimes up tempo flow and I really love the fact that this is ADULT music. No excessive cursing and misogyny.

Excellent blend of there best stuff.......2006-08-04
This is one of my fav. CD's I have been bumping recently... K-Ci & Jojo are an incredible duo, and this really proves if you actually listen to it that they don't need Jodeci, cause they own by themselves...
Being a Hip Hop Producer, I must say thease are excellently produced tracks... All My Life, I don't know if they got an orchestra to get that sound, or it was all one man, but the production on that song alone is incredible.
If you have someone you love, or a girl that you really like, every song on here can relate to your emotions for them. I love singing along to "All my Life", and "Tell Me It's Real" with my girlfriend, especially "All My Life" cause it say's exactly what I think about her, but I could never put it in words that well.
Also what is up with thease DEVante d***riders? Dude isnt that great, his production techniques, and his sound is lackluster at best. His best work wasnt even with Jodeci, it was on All Eyez on Me by 2Pac... The production fits K-Ci & Jojo's style much better, and is far better on this.
Overall, this is 5/5 , a great album...
My 4 Fav. tracks are...
All My Life
Don't Rush (Take It Slowely)
Tell me It's Real
Crazy
But really everything on here is dope.
Not a bad song on the entire cd @}->---.......2006-07-23
Considering I love all of these songs, it's hard to choose my favourites. I've loved these guys since forever and they are amazingly talented and underrated. They sound so good together and sing with a lot of feeling and emotion and there is some great bedroom songs here.
Apart from the obvious Crazy and All My Life, I love Through Heavens Eyes, Last Nights Letter and Down For Life. I've yet to hear a song of theirs that I haven't liked. This is a terrific cd for anyone who is either a fan of theirs, or if you want to hear a sampling of their best work. It's a gorgeous cd and lots of sensual music. I could melt just listening to them croon. I highly recommend this to all R&B fans.
good representation of their greatest.......2005-12-23
Interestingly, before this album was released, I'd put together my own mix of their greatest hits & while my track order is different, all my favorites are on here. Kci & Jojo are at their best when they're killin tha powerful love songs. 'If you think you're lonely now,' and Can't find the words,' remain my top 2 ballads. I can never get enuf of these 2!
SOULFUL.......2005-06-10
A lot of these songs are great. These guys know what true R&B is. The best tracks are: Last Night's Letter, Bring Me Up, All My Life, Tell Me It's Real, Crazy, Girl, Don't Rush, This Very Moment and Down For Life. A couple tracks sound bad, but overall, this CD is great for making love and dedicate to your loved ones.
If you have their albums ...........2005-04-02
What's the point of this "Greatest Hits" really? First of all, like a few have said, this should be a "Best Of" because K+J have only a few actual "hits" to their name. Secondly, if you have 4 of their albums (as I do), or 3, or even just 2, there's no point for this.
Where are the unreleased tracks, or the tracks that appear on Japanese versions (such as "I Just Can't Leave" or "Impossible" - both great songs)? And of course there should be at least 2 brand new songs.
Lastly, WHY in the world did K-Ci & JoJo get a "Greatest Hits" released before Jodeci? You might say 'if K+J's GHs is pointless, so would a Jodeci GHs' ... but you're wrong because Jodeci needs to get their name out again. K-Ci & JoJo, on the other hand, released their lame "Emotional" album just a few years ago.
This is ALL from a guy who thinks K-Ci is the best singer in the world and JoJo is RIGHT behind him (just due to my preference, because JoJo's got an angelic voice). The two always sound amazing, but their songs are NOT up to what these two's standards should be.
K+J, settle whatever is wrong with Jodeci. Your vocals are best suited for Dalvin and DeVante's productions.
