Legacy is the right title for this album. Boyz II Men were the original, modern-day boy band, predating both 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys. Heavily influenced by doo-wop groups such as the Platters and the Dells and developed by ex-New Edition member Michael Bivins, Boyz II Men quickly rose to heavyweight status after the foursome's 1991 debut, Cooleyhighharmony, their success based on romantic ballads and strong vocals. However, they lacked the charisma and looks to really make an impact on the world, and they're perhaps the only group that could be described as "quietly" selling 35 million records. This collection of their best moments concentrates on their strengths as crooning Cupids, exemplified by their massive hit and classic ballad "End of the Road" (taken from the Boomerang soundtrack). "Hey Lover," featuring LL Cool J, is as energetic as the album gets. Legacy is unabashedly assembled for lovers of slow, romantic bedroom soul. --Jake Barnes

Boyz II Men Greatest Hits.......2007-06-08

Excellent CD. All their biggest hits. Great for any Boyz II Men fan!

Legacy Of Great Vocalists! Need to Expand CD!.......2007-04-30

'Legacy' by Boyz II Men was merely a decent compilation when it was first released, but with only 13 tracks, I felt short changed, and wasn't about to buy the re-released 2 disc version. I've followed Boyz II Men since 1991, and like many fans, have all of the CDs. With that in mind, I decided to create 'The Ultimate Boyz II Men Collection' that covers 1991 - 2002 perfectly. Here's the tracklisting, which results in a 80 minute single disc masterpiece...

1. Motownphilly
2. Uhh Ahh
3. It's So Hard To Say Goodbye...
4. End Of The Road (fr.'Boomerang' SDTK)
5. I'll Make Love To You
6. On Bended Knee
7. Water Runs Dry
8. One Sweet Day - Live Version! (w/Mariah)
9. Doin' Just Fine
10. Four Seasons Of Loneliness
11. A Song For Mama (fr.'Soul Food' SDTK)
12. I Will Get There (fr.'Prince Of Egypt' SDTK)
13. Pass You By
14. Thank You In Advance
15. The Color Of Love
16. That's Why I Love You
17. So Amazing (fr.'The Hurricane' SDTK)
BONUS TRACK 18. Sara Smile (2004)

So there you have it, the Ultimate Boyz II Men on a single CD!
Enjoy making this collection at home!

boyz II men review.......2007-01-06

omg this cd is like the best...i knew every song..i listen to it everyday!! it's like the best cd u can purchase

Very Happy.......2006-08-06

I bought this CD to listen to "A Song for Mama". My fiance was thinking of using it for his mother/song dance. We decided on another song but I am still happy that we purchased the CD. I don't own much R&B so it will add to my collection.

This CD Is Just Whatever.......2006-06-21

Boy II Men were extremely hot back in the day and I always wondered why. I tried to give them a chance by getting their "II" album, but I just couldn't get into them. They had a few good songs out, but, other than that, their music was quite lame. Not enough soul and not enough funk. They never got down and dirty. You get tired of the harmonizing because it's done all the time. None of these guys were attractive either. They just weren't, especially the one with the glasses who sang like he had a bunch of snot up his nose. My friends and I used to look at pictures of the group and they would say, "Yeah, that one's cute, that one's cute, this one is foooiine!" I just couldn't see the attractiveness anywhere. Their looks were mediocre and so was the music. "I'll Make Love To You" and "One Sweet Day" have to be the worse songs ever. I heard both of them on the radio the other day and it made me sick to the stomach. These guys are long gone, but thousands of other sorry guy groups of sprung up to replace them.

The Incredible Soul Collection.......2007-07-27

This collection did not disappoint. It was a lot of fun to listen to these songs and it livened up our party!

Incredible Soul Indeed!!.......2007-06-27

I have always enjoyed the pure rush I feel when listening to the great hits of Motown, and this CD set is one of the best.
I actually asked for this set as a Christmas gift & enjoyed it so much that I ordered the same CD's for a good friend of mine.
The collection of songs is outstanding and makes road trips or just an afternoon of kicking back an absolute blast.

Super Soul.......2007-03-09

This CD has a super anthology of songs that you loved from the 60's & 70's, all the great artists, Marvin Gaye, the Commodores, Otis Redding, the Supremes, Aretha. If you like the Motown Sound, this is a great collection.

Great CD!!!.......2006-08-25

I love this CD. It has so many of the songs I love all on one CD. It is great!

Great Collection of 60's and 70's Soul .......2006-06-01

The Incredible Soul Collection is an awesome 2-CD collection of some of the best songs from the 60's and 70's. Aretha, Marvin, Ray, Otis, Sam & Dave, and Gladys Knight and the Pips are just a few of the great artists on this collection.

This set is great to put in on a long drive, or on a lazy weekend afternoon. It makes you nostalgic and wistful on one hand, and grateful on the other hand that this music still lives and breathes in the hearts and minds of those of us who first experienced it so long ago.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing But The Hits.......2004-04-23

A Good Deal for 5.99 at Costco! Has every major hit of the commodores career!

Not Quite Ultimate - But A Pretty Good Compilation Even So.......2007-07-31

You're at a party and someone says "name me the greatest male vocal groups of the 1970s to come out of Detroit." The first responses will be predictable - The Miracles, The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Spinners. I would wager that few would come up with The Dramatics, and yet, when you look at their record closely you will see that, from 1971 to 1989, they had 34 selections make the Billboard R&B charts, with 12 crossing over to the Pop Hot 100 [and two more which "bubbled under]."

After starting out in high school as The Dynamics, they became The Dramatics in 1965, undergoing several changes in personnel by the time they cut their first record for the tiny Wingate label, Inky Dinky Wang Dan Doo, which, predictably considering the small label curse, went nowhere on a national scale.

In 1967, now consisting of Ron Banks, Larry Demps, Elbert Wilkins, Willie Ford, and William Howard, the group scored their initial national hit for the equally-small Sport label when All Because Of You reached # 43 R&B b/w If You Haven't Got Love. In 1968, however, they flopped again with Toy Soldier b/w Hello Summer which was released by both Bell and Crackerjack.

In 1969 they joined the larger Stax/Volt operation where their first Volt release, Your Love Has Changed b/w Since I've Been Gone also failed. In fact, it wasn't until the summer of 1971 that they really hit it big with Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get [based upon a Flip Wilson TV schtick], which rose to # 3 R&B and # 9 on the Billboard Pop Hot 100.

After that, although their pop success was modest at best, they were rarely off the R&B charts for the next nine years. This collection, in addition to the hit just mentioned, offers up 20 of their biggest hits, five of the seven they had for Volt from 1971 to 1974, two of the five with the Cadet label in 1974/75 [two records there were double-sided hits], nine of the eleven registered for ABC Records from 1975 to 1978, and four of the six with MCA in 1979/80.

They also had one minor R&B hit hit with Mainstream in 1975 [No Rebate On Love - # 26], two for Capitol in 1982 [Live It Up - # 40, and Treat Me Right - # 62], one for Fantasy in 1986 [One Love Ago - # 61], one for Volt again in 1989 [a cover of the Simon & Garfunkel hit, Bridge Over Troubled Water, which reached # 93 R&B], and, finally, their last in 1996 for Hyped Int'l, Try Love Again [# 82].

In 1973 Howard [who would record solo as Wee Gee in 1978] and Wilkins had been replaced by L.J. Reynolds [formerly with Chocolate Syrup] and Lenny Mayes, and in 1981 Reynolds left to pursue a solo career, followed by Banks in 1983.

As mentioned above, their pop success was nowhere near as good as the other Detroit groups, with only two making the Top 40 - their first for Volt mentioned above and In The Rain, their best hit ever which reached # 1 R&B [and stayed there for four weeks] and # 5 Hot 100. After that their best pop entries were Hey You! Get Off My Mountain [# 5 R&B/# 43 Hot 100 in late spring 1973], Fell For You [# 12 R&B and # 45 Hot 100 in the fall of 1973], and their cover of the Billy Paul 1972 smash, Me And Mrs. Jones [# 4 R&B/# 47 Hot 100].

As for this being the "ultimate" Dramatics collection, it certainly comes close, although by omitting Toast To The Fool [# 18 R&B/# 67 Hot 100 in 1972] and the Mainstream entry mentioned earlier, they overlooked two that were bigger hits than [or just as good as] tracks 7, 8, 12, 16, and 19.

However, that's a minor quibble. This is ultimate enough.

Excellent.......2007-02-20

If you love the sound of the 70 and 80 YOU MUST GET THIS CD. Perfect quality, song selections also. Good price

Dramatically wonderful.......2007-01-12

I really am glad that I bought this CD. I play it over and over again more than any other CD that I have. My favorite songs are Door to Your Heart, I Think I'm Falling, Me and Mrs. Jones, Hey You Get Off My Mountain, I Want To Go Outside In The Rain and I Can't Get Over You. I like all of the songs but these are my favorite ones. The background music is wonderful. The Dramatics voices are wonderful too. Those guys can really sing. A lot of recording artists today are not very good singers with a few exceptions. The falsetto voice is amazing and the voices compliment one another with perfect timing and pitch. I strongly recommend this CD.

Ultimate collection.......2006-03-14

This is a classic especially Ocean of Thoughts and Dreams - when you hear "Destiny's Child with their Hey Girl - you start signing the "Dramatics immediately.

RIP Lenny Mayes.......2004-11-14

i always dug the Dramatics."Be my Girl" the great cut that Michael Henderson did for them is timeles. 'whatcha see,is whatcha get" is also a jam. dig there Harmony&soulful presentation."In the rain" which later Keith Sweat re-made is a timeless jam as well.

Album Description

All-Music Guide writer Alex Henderson put it best: "No White artist has sung R&B more convincingly than Teena Marie." This tempest is a teacup, or "little munchkin White girl," as mentor Rick James once referred to her, belted out some of the most robust, authentic R&B of the late-'70s.

From the get-go, her identity was shrouded in secrecy. To prolong the ruse, her debut album on Gordy featured no photos of her, only a soft-focus image of the sea and sky. The ploy worked: Her first single, "I'm a Sucker for Your Love," a duet with Rick James, reached #8 R&B. When the truth was learned and the jig was up, it was too late: an R&B hitmaker was let lose, and there was no stopping her. Between '79 and '91, she had 23 R&B hits; of those Seven were Top 10.

For the First Time, her finest fire from both her Gordy/Motown and Epic years is captured on a single CD, including "I Need Your Lovin'"; "Suqare Biz"; "Lovergirl"; her two duets with Rick James, "I'm a Sucker for Your Love" and "Fire & Desire"; and her tribute to fellow Motown-to-Sony defector, Marvin Gaye, "My Dear Mr. Gaye."

Customer Reviews:

Not quite the "Ultimate" Teena Marie compilation but still great........2007-07-07

Although this is NOT an "Ultimate" collection of Teena Marie's music it is one of her most comprehensive collections. A truly ultimate Teena Marie collection would be a 2-CD set covering both her Motown and Epic recordings. That aside, however, this is an excellent anthology of Teena's music and a great starting point for anyone being introduced for the first time to this great but underrated R&B diva's most popular Motown tracks.

Teena Marie: Ultimate Collection.......2006-11-04

I have been a Teena Marie fan since a kid; growing up in 80s how can you not be? A white girl with s soul sounding voice! This CD is awesome and has the best of her best in my opinion. Great tracks like; Portuguese Love, Fire and Desire, I want to be your lover girl, all these and the rest of the songs bring back great memories of growing up in the 80s. A great buy!

Lady T at her best.......2006-10-20

Teena Marie: Ultimate Collection shows "Lady T" doing what she best which is providing good quality soul music. Even though it's missing my personal favorites "Déjà Vu (I've Been Here Before)," "Dear Lover," "Cassnova Brown" "Out on a Limb" and Ooh Laa Laa it's still filled with classics. From the classic uptempo tracks Square Biz and Lovergirl to the ballads Portguese Love, Young Love and the always timeless Fire & Desire it's a collection you don't want to miss. Teena Maire is without doubt the most soulful white women I've ever heard.

Most Enjoyable.......2006-07-24

I enjoy the soulful sounds of Teena Marie. Anyone that enjoys R&B, would difinitely appreciate this CD.

The Teena Marie Review.......2006-06-30

As always, the performance goes untouched in comparison, with classic mixed with the new. The sounds bring back memories of a time most of us were still in class; and sensual tones appreciate nicely. In a nutshell, its a nice asset to the collection and could eventually become a work of art, so go call your insurance agents.

Teddy P...........2005-04-21

His deep-rooted soul and sexy singing burst onto the scene when others were still doing 4 part harmonies, wearing galactic costumes and practicing cheographed steps! He gave to women what no other male solo performer had ever given them; hot, melting, dripping raw sensuality on wax! His "For Women" only concerts were bold, legendary and always Sold Out! Not many artists present or past can touch that! His "Live" shows were something to behold!

This is a nice collection of his "love-making jams" and well worth the investment of your money! It's one solid song after the other...and further illustrates what's missing today with so many soul singers! Good music, good writing and good delivery! His performance on the Ashford and Simpson penned "Is It Still Good To Ya" is enough to make you stop what you're doing and turn the volume all the way up! And my all time favorite TP song is here too "Can't We Try." This CD goes beyond enjoyable, it's just plain necessary for any real soul collection!

Teddy Pendergrass brought flavor to these cuts.His voice truly is smoking on these cuts. they are as fresh now as when they dropped back in the day.the production&Instrumentation go hand in hand with the Gritty vibe that Teddy Pendergrass brings.

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

Great Atlantic Starr Music .......2007-08-01

I simply loved it. I listen to it all the time. They have made some of the most beautiful songs and music and were underrated.

Extremely Good.......2007-04-11

Very good music, sounds ike a comtemporary. They were really extremely good, even sang the lead song at our wedding! Now hows that?

This ain't right folks..........2007-03-20

I would not recommend buying this because of a couple of glaring ommissions. How can classic slowjams like 'Am I dreaming' and 'Let's get Closer' be left out and this be called an ULTIMATE collection? Pullease! Hardcore fans should know that A.S. is really a tale of TWO groups: the Soulful Sharon Bryant era, and the more Mainstream/Pop Barbara Weathers era. That's probably how the collection should be presented anyway. But AS's success was as much about the songwriting/production talents of its founders(3 brothers: David, Wayne, and Jonathan Lewis) as it was either of these talented ladies. Its unfortunate that so many still judge 'good music' solely by its crossover potential.

Also check out 'Secret Lovers: The Best of Atlantic Starr' to hear the aforementioned tunes. Its an older release, hence the inclusion of those classic tunes.

Atlantic Starr is amazing.......2007-01-16

This is an excellent album. It has all of Atlantic Starr's all time greatest songs, especially their love ballads. "Always" and "Masterpiece" are my most favorite. Though overall, each song is awesome and really enjoyable and relaxing to listen to. I highly recommend this Ultimate Collection album by Atlantic Starr!

5 stars for Atlantic Starr.......2006-07-15

For all those who enjoy love songs the way I do, this cd is the best. Atlantic Starr has always managed to belt out the most romantic songs, and each and every one of their hits is on this cd. You won't be disappointed! You might need two of them, because you will wear it out!!!

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.

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.

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!!!!

the best of switch.......2005-08-03

Old Skool.......2007-05-04

You tend to forget just how good the Commodores were, but this perfect collection is a concise reminder of songs that were all over the place 25 years ago, but not so much today. Way back before Lionel Richie became best known as Nicole Richie's pere. Timeless production and great mastering make this one of Motown's better CDs.

Brick Houses.......2006-03-05

There is just so much in this industry these days to where a lot of artists in R&B seem to be more pop oriented, rather than having the feeling of traditional soul. That has been the case with acts like Beyonce', Usher and Mariah Carey. Nevertheless, there are some acts from the past that have absolutely delivered towards what the essence of traditional soul has been like from Motown back in the 70's, and The Commodores were absolutely no acception. Their essential mixture of Funk, R&B and Soul have been a absolute mainstay on the classics of R&B radio, and that feeling Lionel Richie and company have mixed together is all in one convient collection.

The Commodores Ultimate Collection is a fine mixture of the groups most recognized tracks from the 70's. The songs here are just simply the best the soul legends from Alabama had made all of their own. The songs here were remastered very well, and stay as definitive to what made them classics. The album includes tracks ranging from the essence of funk like Machine Gun and the classic party anthem Brick House, to contemporary ballads from Lionel and company that have withstood the test of time like Still, Easy, which was recently used for Levis Jeans, Just To Be Close To You, and Three Times A Lady. While the album does maintain being definitive, many die hard fans were just hoping for a bit more from this collection, but The Ultimate Collection does stand out well enough for newcomers to this legendary R&B group.

It is just sad that Lionel Richie and company of The Commodores haven't done anything new together since they departed back in the eary 80's. Nevertheless, the legacy of these songs is still alive and well. I absolutely love The Ultimate Collection by The Commodores, and you will love this album too just as easy as Sunday morning.

Pure musical Genius- Classic.......2006-01-25

This is one fantastic CD despite a few classics left out.That said, I will focus on one specific song. You could buy this CD for this song only. It is " Nightshift ". It is pure musical Genius. If you know any talented individual who has died before his time, you will understand this song. It is simply heartbreaking. Substitute " Heaven " for Nightshift, and you will understand. It will bring tears to your eyes. Play it 5 or 10 times, and listen for the background vocals . Search Lyrics on Google. It is not just a song, but a tribute to lost souls who needed just a little more time here with us....

GOOD ALBUM!!!!.......2006-01-16

I LIKE THIS ALBUM. THIS ALBUM DOES THE COMMODORES JUSTICE. THIS ALBM CONTAINS ALL OF THEIR TRADEMARK HITS. I LIKE THIS ALBUM. I ENJOY THE COMMODORES THEY WERE A GREAT GROUP AND I WISH THAT I COULD GIVE THEM MORE THAN 5 STARS. THEY WERE ABLE TO SING AND DANDCE AND THEY HAD THEIR OWN TRADEMARK STYLE WITH THEIR ELABORATE CLOTHING. AND LIONEL RICHIE HAD HIS DISTINCT TRADEMARK SINGING. THIS ALBUM CONTAINS ALL OF THE GOODIES FROM THE COMMODORES THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ULITIAMTE COLLECTION AND I RECOMMEND ANY COMMODORE FAN TO PURCHASE THIS ALBUM....

Great, but not "The Ultimate.".......2004-05-21

I love The Commodores and this is one awesome collection of songs. They left the full album versions of "Sweet Love" (my favorite Commodores song) and "Zoom." But where is "Sail On?" Where is "Jesus is Love?" The were both huge hits for The Commodores and I can't consider this "Ultimate" with the absence of these songs. I have them on vinyl but, unfortunately, I don't have (and can't afford) a turntable right now. Still this is a good disc and I would consider it a must own.
