He could be the most low-key superstar in the entire pop arena. While almost anyone can name two or three Robert Palmer songs off the top of their head, it's startling to see all his monster hits packaged together and to realize just how many there were. Was Robert Palmer really this big and important? Actually, yes. With nineteen songs in this collection, ten are perennial FM staples--a higher number overall than anyone this side of ZZ Top. 1980's Clues is the critics' choice. But Palmer's commercial high point was 1985's Riptide and the Power Station album of the same year. All are well represented. For even more Palmer, try the two-part Addictions series. --Gavin McNett

SOME OF THESE RECORDINGS MAY NOT BE THE ORIGINAL GENUINE RECORDINGS BUT THE REMIXES ARE INCREDIBLY FANTASTIC!.......2007-07-05

I will be writing a review on the legendary greatest hits compilation album entitled "THE VERY BEST OF ROBERT PALMER" by one of Rock's all-time greatest and classiest frontmen ever. I give you one of England's pride and joy's and one of Britain's favorite sons, the late great showmen himself, M-R. R-O-B-E-R-T P-A-L-M-E-R! THE VERY BEST OF ROBERT PALMER" was originally released in 1997 on Compact Disc on the Guardian Records label whose copyright in this compilation is owned by REMAP CO. INC. under exclusive licence to EMI Records Ltd. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.

ROBERT PALMER will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for composing and recording some of Rock's all-time greatest most sacred anthems ever. ROBERT PALMER would also forever be known as the smooth talker of Rock n' Roll. PALMER'S powerful and deep voice was so seductive that he could woo any woman in a matter of seconds. When you listen to his music, you will see what I mean. ROBERT PALMER has always had a smooth image by always sporting a suit and tie when recording his videos. A perfect example is his trademark Rocker entitled "Addicted To Love." Other than this mega-hit, PALMER has recorded many great Rock anthems to highly critically acclaim especially from the 1978 to 1997 years. Which brings me to this legendary greatest hits compilation album I'm about to review for you today. "THE VERY BEST OF ROBERT PALMER" is a great compilation album which chronicles and highlights PALMER'S greatest hits from the 1978 to 1997 period. Please note that some of these songs contained in this album are not PALMER'S original recordings but are remixes of how the songs would have sounded like had they have been recorded in 1997. In my opinion, "THE VERY BEST OF ROBERT PALMER" is without a doubt, a true testament of a musical genius whose musical creativity inspired the world when it came to love. This compilation album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great man whose musicianship truly made a difference in Rock n' Roll and was also truly indeed, far ahead of his time. This is the story of one ALAN (ROBERT) PALMER, his music is his story.

It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of MR. ROBERT PALMER to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically as ROBERT PALMER originally truly intended fot it to be heard and listened to. "THE VERY BEST OF ROBERT PALMER" from 1997 begins with the explosive remixed 1997 version of the original 1985 monster worldwide hit Rocker "Addicted To Love," the amazing and energetic Rocker "Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)," the seductive Progressive Hard Rocker "Simply Irresistible," the blistering Hard Rocker recorded by THE POWER STATION in the 80's, "Get It On," the synthesized Rocker also recorded by one ROD STEWART, "Some Guys Have All The Luck," the synthesized Rocker sung by the smooth talkin' PALMER like he truly meant it, "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On," the incredibly fast synthesized Rocker "Looking For Clues," the bass pounding synthesizing progressive Rocker "You Are In my System," THE POWER STATION strikes again with this breathtaking progressive Rocker "Some Like It Hot," the soulful Rocker "Respect Yourself," the fantastic Reggae Rocker "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," the fast synthesized mild Rocker "Johnny & Mary," the beautifully slow orchestrated, bass pounding and soothing "She Makes My Day," the breakthrough heartfelt danceable mild number "Know By Now," the brilliant remix of the original orchestrated tropical Rocker "Every Kinda People," a beautiful tribute to MR. MARVIN GAYE with the rendition of his most sacred classics "Mercy Mercy Me / I Want You" and the genuine original blistering a*s kickin' Rockin' 1985 version "Addicted To Love." May I also add that PALMER'S merciless lead vocals sounds so incredibly smooth and beautiful while laying down the tracks for all of these incredible hit anthem songs.

This is another one of those rare compilation collections that I would highly recommend to everyone of all ages to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary compilation album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. You can purchase this album either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. In doing this, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal ROBERT PALMER music collection.

In closing, MR. ROBERT PALMER is no longer among us. PALMER may be gone now, but he has left us many gifts of song anthems to cherish and enjoy for many years to come. It is just too bad that PALMER is no longer with us, I truly believed that he still had so much to say and give to us all musically and was willing to give it all to us. There are many songs that I will forever remember MR. ROBERT PALMER but the one that stands out to me the most and I truly believe that all of you will agree with me on this one is the PALMER trademark Rocker "Addicted To Love." In my opinion, MR. ROBERT PALMER is truly a legend that has left his place and mark in Rock n' Roll history. With this in mind, his many contributions, accomplishments and achievements will never be forgotten or denied. So help in joining me in saluting a late true legend. This one's for you late great Robert. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? ROBERT PALMER LIVES! Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. ROBERT PALMER RULES! R.I.P. ALAN (ROBERT) PALMER, Born 19 January 1949, Died 26 September 2003 at age 54. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.

Outstanding music ... but ..........2007-05-24

This CD was a bit of a disappointment. Robert Palmer had a pure voice and was an important part of the 80s music "revolution," and his contributions to the music world are sadly missed. But had I known this CD was "digitally re-mastered" I would not have purchased it. We don't need his music updated. I want to hear it just as it played on the radio over the years.

CDs such as this need to carry a "re-mastered" disclaimer. I've purchased far too many classic CDs only to discover time has changed the music, and it's not always for the best.

Great CD and it includes a rare track to get. .......2007-05-09

I have been a Robert Palmer fan since his days with Power Station. I was always intrigued by the fact that he wore a priest's get up in the videos. His voice was always in great shape. Having a 4 octave range, he could sing well in low and high voice.
I was sorry to hear about his massive heart attack. I wanted to buy his rendition of Marvin Gaye's song: Mercy, Mercy Me. This is the first compilation that has it.
Great songs, even got surprised by some unknown tracks like "In my system" and "you should know by now."

Great CD. Long live the great Robert Palmer and his golden voice. He will be missed.

Danny Martinez

Just like the title of the album.......2007-01-20

This CD IS the Very Best of Robert Palmer. Sound quality with high volume rocks my house. Nice package of all the hits on one CD.

Buyer beware.......2006-09-01

The original versions of these hits were pretty much mastered to perfection on their original albums. This collection was somewhat of a disappointment (with just a few exceptions) from even my first listen. It should be clearly labeled as a remix collection. Any ear familiar with these hits from this late great artist will quickly recognize that these versions sound way different the originals.

After 7 is awesome.......2007-05-18

The Very Best of After 7 CD is great. The group is awesome, the music is great and it really helps your relax and soothe away the stress from the day. Listen to it while driving helps the traffic noise lessen. I love it. I purchased 2 and gave one as a gift to a friend.

'After 7' is the right time for some of that After 7.......2007-02-01

What can I say, I'm not a ballad person. But I ''l be the first one to sing a verse at any givin' time. So sad the group broke up, so happy that there hits didn't. "One Night" is my absolute favorite jam here. The lustful 'kiss me lips' "Heat Of The Movement" to the demanding wonderful, "Till You Do Me Right". This CD the S#%T! "Nights Like This" from 'THE FIVE HEARTBEATS' was just awesome. The only conplaint was the "Can't Stop" remix. There's another remix better than the one on here but they didn't put it on here. One major flaw. Other than that, this disc is in there whether you're "Ready Of Not".

Now this is good R&B.......2007-01-10

I remember when After 7 first burst onto the scene in 1989 with the huge hit Can't Stop. However it was their ballads that made the group very strong. Ready or Not, Can He Love You Like This, and Till You Do Me Right are all classic slow jams in their own right. However my two favorite After 7 songs would have to be Not Enough Hours In The Night and One Night. Not Enough Hours appeared on the 90210:Colleage Years soundtrack back in 94 and One Night is a sentimental slow that express's love at it's best. Other notable slow jams that appear on the disc include Gonna Love You Right, Night Like This and Baby I'm For Real. I hope we haven't heard the last of After 7 because this is what good R&B is all about.

The 'Very Best Of After 7'...........2006-06-23

....Could've been an ULTIMATE Collection if you substitute the
acapella version of 'Gonna Love You Right' with the regular studio

15. 'Damn Thing Called Love' (Soulshock Power Mix)
16. 'I Care 'Bout You' - Milestone ft.After 7
(fr.'Soulfood' SDTK)
and as a special BONUS TRACK, also include...
17. '24/7' - by Kevon Edmonds

The original 'Very Best Of After 7' was pretty good, and I agree
with all of the other reviews, but if you want to make a BETTER
compilation, add the tracks I mentioned. Folks are always trying
to borrow my 'Ultimate After 7 Collection' CD, but I have to say
"no my Brother, you gotta MAKE YOUR OWN!!!" LOL

(of 'Chaka's World')

love, romance, and desire.......2006-02-25

Well this is easily one of my favorite groups of the 80s. They had the class of DeBarge, but more of an adult sound. I had the biggest crush at the time on namely Babyface and Kevon Edmonds. The lyrics on the songs are so encredibly romantic and sincere, which I guess is a trademark of 'real Babyface', not the grown and sexy Babyface??? I have to agree with one above reviewer that stated the production on the album overshadowes the group. LA & Babyface were true masterminds when they put an album togther. Every song is good on the cd, every one brings back fluttery memories of some silly crush I had at the time LOL. After 7 was a great soul singing group, they reminded of soulsters from the late 70s (O-Jays, Switch, DeBarge, EWandFire) its all here, you'll love it if you loved real R & B soul. My favorite cut is "Ready or Not", easily the best love song they made...I guess LA was in the throws of over-infatuated passion for Pebbles at the time. (all that I've got, I'll give you everything, I love you more than words can show ect ect....WOW you won't hear those lines anymore on black radio, touch this feel that, I'll go down and what have you...After 7 had class and romance. "Can't Stop" is an absolute JAM and the covers of "Nights like This, and Baby I'm for real" are fabulous. Its just too bad that once R & B became more 'edgey' they could not survive in the late 90s...Boys II Men kinda stole their audience. But now I think if they decided to make a comeback they'd be well accpeted if they got radio play, Anthony Hamilton is succeeding. Bottomline this is a must buy for a soul lover. It does not disspoint...

Nice selection of songs, but buyer beware..........2007-03-07

This is a good compilation and the sound quality is nice. BUT, I noticed the remastering chopped off a few bars in "Sole Survivor" (very noticeable after the bridge) and "Time Again". I know those songs well and it jolted me a bit. There may be other cuts that I just haven't noticed yet.

If you are a purist, skip this and get the debut album separately. If you're looking only to replace your vinyl, this is fine.

Should we be ashamed to own this!?.......2007-01-03

Last year I saw the movie "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and the band Asia and one of their songs were sort of a running joke in the movie. The lead character was harangued by his friends for having an Asia poster in his apartment. I was like, "Hey, what's wrong with Asia? I used to have one of their records!" I remember when Asia was pretty cool, but I guess now they are looked at with a laugh (as are many of the bands from the 80's). No matter, the music is still great. Certainly a lot better than some of the cuff-me-beat-me death metal on the radio today. Buy the CD, you won't be disappointed.

Are You Kidding Me? This is Asia We're Talking About..........2006-10-31

What's with all the four and five stars for an Asia CD? Is this the Asia Groupie Convention camped out here on Amazon? I'm being generous here with three stars. This was a band of talented musicians who faded fast after their successful debut album. The critics weren't too thrilled with them for a reason: their material was mediocre. There's nothing earth shattering or groundbreaking here. If you're not familiar with the band borrow a cd from someone before you waste your money for two or three good songs.

Good Compilation of Songs, Very Bad Sound Quality.......2006-05-02

I love all the songs on this cd. I can't argue with the selection, but when I plopped it into my cd play I was shocked at how bad the songs sounded. For a cd from a band like Asia to succeed you need to have a crisp sounding cd. The sound here is tainted...even when you turn it up. I would think there are better Asia greatest hits out there.

Good compilation of one of the better 80's bands..........2005-10-19

Ok, I didn't give it 4 stars because being a purist I didn't like the stuff from the later albums (after Astra) as much as those early stuff. But I have fond memories as a teenager listening to Asia. Their music, for what is worth, is full of great textures and melodies. Do I think they are the epitome of great rock music or the end all of prog rock? No, but I give them due because their music moved me and still does: the guilty pleasures of their simple catchy riffs but with story and drama. I don't think Asia set out to revolutionize rock and roll in the 80's, they were just a group of seasoned musicians having fun without the trappings of the earlier days of prog rock glam. While many of my school mates listened to the likes of Ratt and the Crew (the real hair band stuff), Asia's music gripped me because it was full of drama as any true prog rock should be. Now, many of my buddies who sneer at Asia inevitably admit to have bought the first ablum because something about the band's music (amidst all the new wave bore of the early 80's) stood out.

Now I listen to much of what is being played in the FM stations and long for the days when music on the radio meant something. Just listen to the track "Voice of America" and you will realise the lyrics are so relevant now.

Classic Rock for any age.......2007-04-02

I am getting a lot of enjoyment out of this CD! Buy one; you won't regret it!

If You Like What You Hear on the Radio, Buy This........2006-11-10

I'm really just a radio fan of 38 Special. But I decided to take a chance with this "best of" collection. And I came out golden on this one. Every single song is at least as good as the handful that you hear on the radio now.
Personally, I tend to go for the harder bands. So I'm often having to enjoy my music in a semi-voluntary semi-solitude while pretty much everyone else plugs their ears and runs away. But this is catchy, very nice, and lively while somewhat softer rock and roll, with a more general appeal--something that the whole family can kind of enjoy together. I would probably compare 38 Special to the Eagles, for beat, intensity and overall listenability.
So far it has a 5-star average rating, and I wouldn't mess with that.

Great Tunes.......2006-08-17

This is really good music to listen to on a beautiful day driving in the car or just hanging out- I love 38 Special and this CD has alot of their hits on it. Its worth a buy

WHOA.......2006-04-21

I could see, why they are called Southern Rock indeed. At first, back in the old days (aka 90's for me), I mistaked this guys for an 80's band. Most of their great songs came out in the 80's I believe. So, these guys can't be southern rock. But that doesn't matter, cause they still kick it.

Caught Up In You, is quite a good song, due to the guitar solo. It's practically that 80's "Dream song" since it's so perfect in every manner. You know how the band Autograph had their perfect song called "Turn Up the Radio"? Well, Caught Up in You, is just as perfect, or more perfect. I can picture many things when that guitar solo goes off... It's quite astounding what music can do to the brain.

Somebody Like You- When this song first started, I thought it sounded a little like Billy Idol's debut. This isn't a waste of time ballad, like some bands right. This is happy feeling, yet sad due to the "broken" heart. Any broken hearted person could listen to this and feel great. This song makes alot of sense, which helps you come to your senses. (good line huh?) The Soli (minor guitar solo) is very good.

Like No Other Night- Very very 80's. I could see someone rocking out to this song. I heard the song "Straight to Your Heart" inside that song, by Bad English. Except, it's well written. I could imagine John Waite singing this. Over all it's a great song.

I reviewed only 3 songs, because they touch me the most on the inside. They're fantastic. I love .38 Special. Where would the music world be without them. This cd (off itunes) blew me away, listening to the whole thing. I listened to this cd many times last night, and I didn't get to bed until atleast 3 am! haha!

On my ipod, I only have hair metal and classic rock, aka like Journey, Boston, Eric Clapton, etc. I got sick of rap and R&B, so I took it all off. Sound crazy? Well, I've only been listening to classic rock and hair metal for a few years, since I was born in 1990. KEEP CLASSIC ROCK AND HAIR METAL ALIVE.

This guys are not Southern Rock in my book.......2006-01-03

If you looked up 38 Special on the internet or in a book, you would probably see these two words: southern rock. Widely considered southern rock, I think they have a more Foriegner-type pop/rock sound and feeling. This album is a rather nice compilation. It has all the major and minor hits and fan favorites. You get 18 songs on one disc and it's rather inexpensive. Not a bad deal. If you like 80s pop/rock like Foriegner or REO Speedwagon buy this superb collection of radio friendly rock godliness.

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.

The Very Best of Chris Botti.......2007-03-23

It was good, I'm glad I bought it. Wasn't as good as I was hoping he is a talented man with a smokey, moody, ghostly horn,wanted to hear more of that.

Absolutely wonderful music to chill out with after a hard day at work. Allows all the stress to flow out of your body.
Chris is definitely top three trumpet players. His concerts are incredible.

Disappointed.......2006-11-06

Of the three Botti CDs I have bought, I liked this one the least. All new songs with which I was not familiar. Prefer the oldies. A knock on me, not him.

Disappointing.......2006-08-31

The Botti trumpet is excellent, however it has to fight with monotonous, uninspired, drum work and assorted background that is overwhelming the clear, beautiful notes of Botti. The vocals are ghastly. The crew on this CD needs to listen to some Henry Mancini arrangements; they could learn something about instrumentation.

If you love Jazz music like i do.. this is one to add to your collection. To listen alone or with someone special or as a party opener.. listen to this one!!!
