A Collection of His Greatest Hits

Amazon.com
Screw Barry Manilow--it was Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds who really wrote the songs the whole world sings. From the late '80s to the mid-'90s, no single artist owned the R&B and pop charts with a tighter or more fluid grip than Babyface (and his then partners L.A. Reid and Darryl Simmons), and this Greatest Hits collection is proof of this singer-songwriter/producer's way with romance and rhythm. The catch is that this CD contains only the smashes Face kept for himself: a definitive collection of the songs he handed to others would constitute a box set. This CD covers his solo efforts, from the tangy "Whip Appeal" to the aching "Every Time I Close My Eyes" and the understated "When Will I See You" (arguably the first R&B acoustic power ballad). With two new cuts and a live version of the Grammy-winning "Change the World," these 14 tracks sum up an era in R&B when wearing one's heart on one's sleeve and reaching for the most nuanced of melodies was an act of creative revolution. Sure, some called his act corny, but, as this CD proves, Babyface made minor classics that sound just as gentle and persuasive today as they did back then. --Amy Linden

Babyface - Greatest Hits.......2007-03-09

If you like Babyface -- this is a must. All the hits on one C.D. No need to look through your C.D. collection to find that special Babyface song. Betcha ten to one, that song is on this C.D.

YO FACE.......2007-01-10

This brought me back to high school.
Loved it. Was nice to hear a live song of his.

goooood music.......2007-01-09

still gives me the mushy feelings i got when i heard these songs growing up.

Love this CD.......2007-01-09

I have always loved Babyface and have some of his earlier cassette tapes...I think I just aged myself. Anyway I was pleased to see that I could get almost all of my favorites on one very excellent CD. I listen to this CD on a weekly basis, sometimes daily if I'm having a difficult week at work. It has just the right music to help me get through the work day and calms me down for the drive home. Heck, I even listen to it on the weekends while I'm cleaning or relaxing. I highly recommend purchasing this CD if you love Babyface

Several years ago we bought this great collection for my mother-in-law, who's in her 80s, and while a lot of the music was familiar to me and my husband, she knew every song. Now it's one of our favorites, too. Anyone who loves music will appreciate this. The double-disc set contains many memorable tunes, from Hugo Winterhalter's "Canadian Sunset" to Jimmy Dorsey's "So Rare".

This collection represents a long period of artistic achievement and the development of one of Hawai'i's finest talents.

Customer Reviews:

Fun but not essential.......2002-01-13

Jimmy Buffet meets Wayne Newton meets El DeBarge is a good way to describe Brother Noland. This was one of the first hawaiian albums I bought and may be a bit quirky for some. As I stated above, it is a fun, but non-essential album to have in your hawaiian CD collection. Standout tracks include, "Juju Rock", "Coconut Girl", "Big Ship", "Harbor Town", and "Pua Lane".
