5 out of 5 stars She has stolen my heart with this one !.......2007-05-09

Regina Belle shot to fame in 1989 with her single, 'Baby Come To Me' -- from her album Stay with Me -- which was a perfect example of the jazz-tinged soul-pop balladry which she had been recording since the mid 1980's.
The title of this 'best of ' collection was also Belle's worldwide hit single. The material featured here has been selected from her four studio albums which were recorded between 1987 and 1995.
With her own sophisticated brand of romantic soul, the acclaimed vocalist was one of the most popular contemporary singers of the eighties and nineties.
Once hailed as a female Luther Vandross, or as the less commercial side of Anita Baker, besides soul, her singing has roots in jazz and classic pop and she has Oscar and Grammy awards to her name.
This 'Best of' features a collection of the finest songs from all her albums including the platinum award winning smash 'A Whole New World'.
When Regina Belle wraps her velvety voice around a love song, the embrace is everlasting.
From a jazz whisper to a soulful serenade to a gospel shout, the gentle comforts of hope and faith are never far away.
Regina has soothed us with such standards as " Baby Come To Me" and " Make It Like It Was" and "If I Could".
Her dynamic duets with Peabo Bryson, Barry White and James "J.T." Taylor are also featured here.
They are stirring reminders that Regina has always been consistent, engaging, stylish and innovative. Never boring or derivative.
Please, listen also to her latest, unmissable masterpiece Lazy Afternoon.

5 out of 5 stars The irresistible rise of Ms. Regina Belle........2007-03-07

Regina Belle is an excellent, solid , always uncompromising , engaging and consistent performer who has churned out some really nice tracks in the last 20 years.
I'm into Rnb/Soul/Hip Hop, but I have no problem saying that I own this really good set of songs.
Her music has always been ground-breaking,adventurous and extremely good.
"Baby Come To Me" is her signature track, and most people's favourite Regina track. It's a perfect track and one which she will always be able to say is a "classic". This track will get played on radio in another 20 years time.
"A whole New World" is a track with that 90's feel which is catchy but it's track # 3 "So Many Tears" which I love. It's a perfect song for someone you love, and the lyrics are what most of us think of in that situation. It's tracks like this that makes Regina a true star and a real woman with something to say.
"Make It Like It Was" and "If I Could" are two soulful tracks. The latter being more hearfelt and deep about a mother and her child. Great stuff.Please,listen to Celine Dion's version from the album 'Miracle' and then form your opinion on it...
"What Goes Around" is classic Regina. It's her sophisticated sound. "Show Me The Way" is a heart wrenching number, which has some fantastic sax riffs, and a track which only her voice could make sound so real.
She does a jazz cover-medley of the classic Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway tracks that is "Save The Children/Someday We'll all Be Free". Its a spectacular effort,and unmatched masterpiece and you won't be skipping it.
The song "A Whole New world" was the killer track that went to number one, and really put her firmly on the map. It still gets lots and lots of airplay today and will for many years to come.
I've nearly forgot to mention the absolute classic duet "All I Want Is Forever". This track was superb when it was released all those years ago -and it still is today.
Regina will never have the superstar status that some have (just think about somebody like Janet Jackson or Celine Dion...In my modest opinion,she outclasses them by far !!!), but I think that she really doesn't care and is happy to be making good quality music that people enjoy.
This set is superb listening and pure,sublime delight for your heart and soul.

5 out of 5 stars The VOICE is mesmerizing, and the tracks are stunning !.......2007-01-09

For so long now, Regina Belle has been hanging around just outside the big time, seemingly waiting for a break that has never quite happened. One listening to this album will leave you wondering 'why'.
She has never been commercial. and she will never want to be.

Regina is proof positive that she can provide not only multi-octave vocals but also deliver strong,innovative and diverse interpretations.
Then, of course, there is the voice.
And what a voice it is. You can really hear it develop and grow in maturity over the 8-year span of this album, moving from being an excellent, acclaimed R'n'B voice to one of the best contemporary soul/jazz performers in the world.
It seems there's very little that she's not capable of.

The only downside of this album is that, while it offers a good overview of the most popular offerings of Regina's career and some absolute gems , I don't feel that it really offers the best of her work.
All in one word, you will like this collection of brilliantly produced and performed songs which are classics of our time.
I would highly recommend this album to anyone who knows anything of Regina's work - and to anyone who doesn't.
A 2CD set would be very welcome.

5 out of 5 stars Music does not get better than this!.......2006-08-05

Regina Belle is one of those amazing singers who has been so stellar for so many years, but it was not until the massive success of the song "Baby Come To Me" that a wide audience was exposed to her magic. She never reached that pinacle again because her amazing appeal is not the fast food that most crave.

If you are a fan, I need not say anymore as I am preaching to the choir. If you happen to find this listing by error or because you were guided to it based on another purchase that you have made think of Regina as the very best of Anita, Patti (both LaBelle and Austin), Gladys but entirely original. Regina has a powerhouse vocal range that is so powerful yet equally stunning when quiet and controlled. She is a child of interpretative singers so that when she sings you listen as she tells you what she feels.

This package is the best that you'll find if you only want one release as it has all her most known/popular songs. I have bought most of her releases as her voice, like say a Luther Vandross, can move you and remind you of the power of music. While most who may not even have heard "Baby Come To Me" must have heard it least "A Whole New World" fromDisney's "Alladin" which is a great song but only skims the surface as songs like "If I Could", "This Is Love", "Make It Like It Was" and great remakes of "Didn't I" and Teddy's "Love TKO" really show you Regina's range. Many others have tried to tackle "Love TKO" (even Hall & Oates, who I really like) but Regina's version is the only one that I heard that stands out among the many who have taken a shot at it.

If you like big voices with masterful control, buy this without hesitation. 5 easily earned stars. Keep on singing Regina!

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding in every way.......2006-06-02

Ah yes the soulful, jazzy sounds of Regina Belle

I happened to come across this cd on Amazon.com quite by accident. Having never heard of Regina Belle i did play some of the sound samples and loved everyone of them. After that I decided to purchase the CD. Every time I play it I like it just that much more.

Her voice reminds me a little of Billie Holiday with a helping of Dinah Washington, Roberta Flack, Gladys Knight and Patti La belle thrown in. Soulful, powerful and beautiful vocal styling's all in one voice, amazing. It is very easy to get caught up in the emotion of the song that she is singing because she makes the songs so personal.

"Didn't I blow your mind". This is one of my favorite songs by the Stylistics and I didn't think that anyone could do it better and then I heard Regina Belle sing it and I was totally blown away, what an incredible voice and style.

Another one of my favorite songs is "Baby come to me" that is every bit as good as the Patti Austin/James Ingram version.

"Love TKO", Originally a Tedd Pendegrass composition, truly brought to life by Regina with the amazing power in her sweet voice.

My Favorite Aladdins Theme with Peabo Bryson, What a song what a voice what a duet. Absolutely astounding and beautiful.

Every song on this cd is a great listen. Both the production and engineering are done very well and serve to highlight Regina's style.

What we have here is fourteen great songs made better by the fact that Regina Belle is singing them. If you like the sound of a stunning female voice singing then this is for you.
