Peter Brown..........2007-02-10

I bought this disc at a domestic price ($11.99) back in the late 1990's. I am a Peter Brown fan, but there's NO WAY I'd pay $50 bucks for it. Wait 'til the price drops!

The music of course, is magic! Peter Brown was in no way or measure a 'Disco' artist by any stretch in my opinion. He, like Chic, was R&B Dance, anyone listening to his rhythms could tell that! I still dance to his music today - I still have his music on cassette in my car. This is a good representation of his work!

I recommend this and give it five stars...but, wait 'til the price drops before investing in the CD! Five stars!!

Super rare disco classic on cd for the very first time!!!!!!.......2004-12-26

The first time I heard Can't be love/do it to me anyway was on the TV show "Dance Fever". Anyone remember that show? It was more than 2 decades ago and I have been looking for it on cd ever since. This collection includes the 8 mins 12" version of Can't be love which was hard to find as a 12" single even back in the 80's. It also includes the 12" mix of Crank it up, Dance with me, Do ya wanna get funky with me and many more. This cd has been issue in UK recently and I got my copy from Amazon UK. For all you disco lovers out there, get this before it becomes out of print.

Tight Collection.......2003-09-29

Peter Brown truly gets over-looked when you talk about Groove based Cats that could truly bring it.His Arrangements&The Vocals are on point."Dance With Me" was always a Smoking Jam.but there was so much more to Him being seen&heard as just a Disco based Artist or a One Hit WOnder.this Set Highlights His Talent&Depth.His Music has no limits.

Nostalgia Trip.......2003-04-26

Peter Brown's music always sends me on a serious nostalgia trip. This is feel-good music at its best! The disco era was truly a magical time in the music world; those who shouted "disco [bad]" just didn't get it. There are songs on here that I forgot about until I heard them on the CD.

"Can't Be Love - Do It To Me Anyway" is one of those songs and listening to it is pure magic! It's synthesizer-rich melody is so hypnotic and intoxicating. "Crank It Up" is another forgotten melody that I used to love; I didn't know Peter Brown was responsible for this one. "Crank It Up" is not disco per se; the guitar work gives a somewhat hard edge rock flavor.

Of course, "Do You Wanna Get Funky..." is an old standard - the epitome of music from this bygone era and "Dance With Me" is a classic gem, an all-time favorite. I even like the remix even though I don't believe you can improve on perfection!

This and "Fantasy Love Affair" are must haves in any disco collection! You can't go wrong here!

The Best Of Funky Disco !..........2002-10-04

Peter Brown's music was proof positive that any truly gifted musician, song writer, singer should not be judged based on his/her ethnic background;Music has no racial boundaries !Peter Brown was no gimmick or fad artist;he was the real deal !He was cool and hip for the time.

That said, this collection exemplifies what the "best" of R&B, Funk, and Disco sounded like during the mid to late 70's. Like R&B/ funk female artist Teena Marie, Brown's identity was shrouded in mystery for his debut lp release so as not to shock the public. I guess the music execs or marketing team thought their albums would not be taken seriously if the music was performed by white artists...Still, Brown had a hot streak with cuts like Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me ? and Dance With Me. I remember being 7 years old and seeing this man perform on the Merv Griffin Show and thinking (even at that early age)" this guy's got rhythm and soul !" Artist's such as Peter Brown, Teena Marie, Wild Cherry, and KC and the Sunshine Band gave disco, r&b a very positive and serious image !

This collection only highlights his early TK days. His later move into the 80's to the RCA/Columbia/Gypsy labels would yield 2 pop rock/dance oriented albums entitled Front to Back and Snap ! which are both out of print and have never been released on cd format. The first containing the club hit Baby Gets High and the latter with Zie Zie Won't Dance, Love Is Just A Game (Trivial Pursuit) and the 80's all time club favorite of mine They Only Come Out At Night(mixed by Madonna's former beau Jelly "Bean" Benitez). Ironically, Brown would later co-write Madonna's 1985 smash single Material Girl for her Like A Virgin album ! Hopefully, the record company will have enough sense to put out Brown's later out of print works as a second volume of favorites !...
