It's the most complete single-disc collection of EWF chart rockers, and Greatest Hits' splendid remastering makes one of the major exponents of '70s funk positivity sound sparkling. From the driving "Shining Star" to the syncopated mastery of "September" and "Boogie Wonderland" to the slow-jam heaven of "After the Love Is Gone," this is a reminder of what made the group so special. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
Great CD.......2007-05-25
If you're an EWF devotee, you have to purchase this CD. It is fabulous! I'm buying a second one for my husband for father's day.
(4.5 stars) Probably their best comp, but STILL missing key songs.......2007-03-29
I'm gonna complain a bit here - the live Devotion (off Gratitude, killer studio version made furtherly killer live) and Keep Your Head to the Sky are still missing. Why? Is this one of those stupid cross-label things? Because those are really annoying. And this contains Boogie Wonderland, most likely their worst hit, either that or Let's Groove. Both are disco. Not a coincidence. And they drop All About Love, as well as I'll Write a Song for You. Give me a break! Four of their greatest songs, dropped off a cliff. Splat. Why? Saturday Night's an OK song, but I don't see it as the Best of Earth Wind and Fire. But if you swap those three off, put the four I mentioned on, and keep the rest, you've got the real best of Earth, Wind and Fire. Unlike the 1978 Greatest Hits release, this DOES contain Mighty Mighty, Kalimba Story AND Serpentine Fire, three essentials. Plus it adds After the Love is Gone, a worthy addition to any self-respecting EWF hits collection (or at least any one released after 1978), and their greatest song ever maybe. I'd bet on it. Plus nine of the ten tracks on the '78 release, not coincidentially the nine classics (Got to Get You Into My Life, Fantasy, Can't Hide Love, Getaway, That's the Way of the World, Shining Star, September, Reasons, Sing a Song) - note how they dropped Love Music, which is cool by me because it's just an average song and average songs don't belong on best-ofs, even if they were huge hits (*cough cough Saturday Nite*).
Yes, this is a great intro, but don't stop here. Why? All in All, Spirit, Gratitude, That's the Way of the World and Open Our Eyes are all good picks, that's why. But this is the compilation the band deserved.
That Boogie Woogie Beat!.......2007-03-14
This album is soooo hot! Makes you wanna just jump up on a table and start dancing. (I tried it at work, but they yelled at me!). I am LOUSY at remembering song names, but I recognized a bunch of them. "September" is so hot! and one of my favorites. So is "Boogie Wonderland" (Dance, Ooo ooo oo, Dance, ooo ooo ooo!) (STOP ME! QUICK!) Like I said, most of the album is hot dance-to-me music. There are a few slow songs, like "After the Love Has Gone". 17 tracks at a total running time of a hair over 1 hour 7 minutes.
Don't put this on in the car and get behind a school bus! Torture!
Greatest Hits.......2007-01-04
My sister is a very hard person to buy gifts at Christmas, but last September she mentioned she would like a CD by Earth Wind & Fire. She opened the CD on Christmas eve and insisted we listen to "September" for the next 15 minutes. She was very happy and so was I. I have to admit the CD is a good one and I am ordering a copy for myself.
Old School.......2007-01-04
Bring back the old school music with soul. Great songs and good memories.

With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylization of "Your Love Is King." Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel," on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime." "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of mediocrity, chronicled here by the lifeless "Stronger Than Pride" and the limp "Nothing Can Come Between Us." "No Ordinary Love" was a return to form with the smoky richness back in her vocals and the urban/island feel of her first release. Best of Sade goes right up to her hit "Pearls," which, remixed, became a dance floor hit. The nicest surprise here is "Please Send Me Someone to Love," with Sade proving that although her range may be limited vocally, she doesn't suffer the same fate artistically. --Steve Gdula

What's to say. This is all the hits of the past 10 to 15 years. You gotta buy this one!
Sade's Best Songs.......2007-06-14
I love Sade's songs. This CD captures her best work. My money was well spent.
The Very Best of Sade.......2007-05-25
This is without a doubt a must for Sade fans. What I consider to be the very best of Sade because of songs like Smooth Operator and Your Love is King. If you don't have it yet you must get it!
Sincerely,
Vicki B. Holton
the best of Sade.......2007-05-13
I got this because of one of the Songs "Love is stronger than pride" that got my curiosity, but the singer was disappointing and the songs too. She sings like a robot and has no mentionable range. I donated the cd to the local library. The shipping and price were, as usual, perfect, no problem in that area.
Great Music.......2007-05-12
Sade is one the most enjoyable music artist out there. She has a style of music all her own. I was glad I bought the CD. You will too.

I will survive...!.......2007-05-14
Just great! Get hooked, you'll be shaking your life out...! Great selection of that Disco time!
Pure Pop Culture..Cashing In On "Disco" Revival Of The 90s.......2007-04-16
This is more or less just another danceable pop hits of the mid - late 70s collection (with a few early 80s thrown in). Folks, lets be honest here...only maybe 2 or 3 tunes actually got heavy play in the actual clubs back when (which is the reason I even give this 2 stars). All these tunes are the same tunes for the most part that are on every other so called "disco" CD compilation. For one, "Grease" is FAR from anything disco or disco related (which im happy to see a few people actually noticed!).
Where's Cerrone "Supernature", Giorgio "From Here To Eternity", Alec R. Costandinos "Romeo & Juliet", Machine "There But For The Grace Of God Go I", Jumbo "Turn On To Love" and could go on and on (probably 90% of the folks reading this right now dont even know what those tunes I mentioned are).
Those tunes I mentioned are basic common club play disco from back when...im not even goin mega deep here, just mentioning a few of the REAL disco bilboard hit basics here. Sure, to promote the pop hits, most of these tunes on this comp were played in the corse of the night in 12" remixed format...but they were not the main attraction as pop culture believes!
If anyone is truely interested to hear what disco was really about and wants to get a small taste of the hard true disco sounds, if you can find it (since its out of print), look up the CD comps The Best Disco In Town vol 3 (whole CD) and The Best Disco In Town vol.2 (75% of this CD is true disco) put out by the now gone Hot Productions...there you'll get a small taste of the REAL disco hits from the 1976 - 1980 era which kept everyone dancin and havin fun (with a few early 80s ones thrown in). Forget this pop culture cash in on what the radio mainstream called disco (and if this is what disco really was, I wouldnt blame em one bit for the whole disco sucks movement...but this IS NOT REAL DISCO!).
Like I said, I DO give em credit for putting a few tracks on here that actually were REAL club hits and not on every pop comp (Gibson Brothers "Cuba" is the main one that stands out). But don't take my word for it, seek out the 2 comps I mentioned above and hear for yourself!
Disco Queen Lives!.......2007-04-02
This is fabulous as it brings me back to my disco queen days! I am the same slinky, sexy dancing goddess of the 80's! Well, it sure feels like it.
The best of the best.......2007-03-17
Great treadmill music. This one covers most of the good stuff from the yesteryear's of disco.
Get on up and Boogie!!!.......2007-02-02
Whether its 'pure disco' is debatable...but this is a first rate compilation of Classic Disco songs...every single one on this disc has 'outlived' the era just listen to Knock On Wood, Dont Leave Me This Way, Dancing Queen and of course I feel Love...fantastic compilation the first in the series.
Worthwhile.

Like Much Of The 80s, Wretched Excess, But Still Fun.......2007-06-30
Most of the tracks on the first disc alone warrant purchasing it at the price offered...however, the second two discs could've been whittled-down to a few tracks that could've replaced some of the softer offerings on Disc One and it would've been one monster CD...still, the wheat can be burned from the chaff on one's mp3/I-Pod, I suppose.
Fantastic!.......2007-05-14
Any 80's music lover will be happy to have this collection! The selection is perfect. I just love it.
Very Good.......2007-01-12
Another 80's cd that I didn't let slip by. You will also love it, great value.
What a Slow Bore!.......2007-01-11
Of this three disk set, I would say that maybe five songs were worth listening to and even remembered. The rest were slow and so boring. I don't even remember them form the eighties.
If you are looking for an eighties cd. DON"T buy this one. THERE HAS TO BE better ones out there than this one.
We are thrilled!.......2007-01-04
This boxed set is the greatest! I am really enjoying all of it! Great songs.... I love 80's music and this is a great mix!

A Great Gaye Retrospective.......2007-04-11
The great Marvin Gaye has been the subject of many, many retrospectives, as someone with his greatness and talent deserves, and this is one of the best ones released to this date.
His great duets with Tammi Terrell are here ("If I Could Build My Whole World Around You," "You're All I Need To Get By," "Your Precious Love," and "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing"),his great 60's songs ("I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby,and "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)," and hias early 70's hits ("Mercy,Mercy Me," "Let's Get It On," and "Trouble Man."
This is a great Marvin Gaye collection.

Amazon.com
In the path of enormously popular collections of number one singles by Elvis and the Beatles comes this crammed (seconds shy of the 80-minute mark) disc from another pop-culture icon, Diana Ross & the Supremes. 14 Diana Ross/Supremes tracks appear in some of their most vivid sound ever, while the post-Ross Supremes get their due with "Stoned Love." Ross' Hollywood years make for the weakest music here ("Touch Me in the Morning," "Endless Love"), but disco smashes "Upside Down," "I'm Coming Out," and "The Boss" prove as smart, canny, and enduring as Supremes 45s like "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Reflections." The contemporary, yet already dated, remix of "Hangin' On" at album's end suggests, in fact, that Ross might make one more dance-floor comeback if paired with the right behind-the-scenes team. Basement Jaxx, anyone? --Rickey Wright

Revisiting the 60's in Style!.......2007-07-12
This music defines my happy days living in Austin, TX while attending The University! The Supreme sounds ROCKED the halls of my Dorm and accompanied me on many of my hiking journeys up and down the Hike and Bike Trail. Diana's soft sexy voice played in the background many dark evenings while my boyfriend (now husband) and I "got busy" in the back seat of his Chevy Convertible up on Lookout Mountain! Good times!
Great songs with a great sound.......2007-05-19
I really enjoyed the song quality on this CD. It has all of my favorite Supreme & Diana hits like - Come See About Me, Touch Me In The Morning & Im Coming Out.
I love Cd's that you can put on and just let play whether at home, in the car, or in the background when company is over.
If you like the Supremes and Diana this is one of the best variety of songs available.
I say give it a try & sing along ... I did.
Diana Ross & the Supremes.......2007-05-15
If you want the best of Diana and The Supremes, this is the cd for you! It has all of the #1's from the group and Diana's solo career during the 70's. It is fantastic!
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!.......2007-05-06
If you love the Diana Ross music, you have to buy this cd!!! this is the best effort to compilate all the Diana's career in only one disc, and the quality of the songs (all they are remastered in stereo) is incredible!! but the best is that all the No. 1 singles from the supremes and Diana's solo single No. 1 hits are in this colection and wooow!! 24 songs !!!!; from the first hits like WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO, BABY LOVE, STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE and CAN'T HURRY LOVE to memorable songs like ENDLESS LOVE (with Lionel Richie), DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GOING TO and UPSIDE DOWN (pure disco), if you think, you can realize that you have songs from the early 60's to the late 80's IN ONLY ONE COMPILATION!!!; THEN I RECOMMEND THIS CD TO EVERYBODY!!
One advertising: some versions of this cd have the inclussion of Diana's song CHAIN REACTION (the latin-american versions like the Mexican and Argentina ones have this song), but the US version doesn't iclude this great song, unfortunately.
Fresh Versions Of Old Favorites.......2007-04-14
I bought this disc recently to add to my Supremes collection because I already knew it would sound fantastic... and it does. The remastering of these classic tracks make them sound better and more vibrant than any previously released collection. But here's the real kicker: most of these tracks appear in versions that are different than have ever been heard before!!
Hardcore Supremes fans will listen to these tracks and immediately feel a shock of revelation that they are not the same old versions that have been on compilation after compilation. Most of these tracks are newly remixed for stronger bass, more stereo separation, and now have extended endings. "Stop In The Name Of Love" for example, goes on beyond it's original fade, so that you can hear the backing track fade out while the girls keep singing until they finish cold, with one final "Stop!". "You Keep Me Hangin' On " has a longer second chorus, as well as a previously unheard cold ending. And the new mix of "Reflections" is a real eye opener, with softer psychedelic sound effects synched up from the originally released version, and an ending that continues on WAY beyond the original fade out point, with an additional coda and cold ending ( not to mention an originally deleted backing vocal in the bridge of the song )! Not every track is that radically different, but most do go on slightly longer than before, and the remastering and remixing makes them sound better than ever.
Even if you own any of the previous Supremes compilations, this collection is a must, for the alternate versions of these songs, and the much improved sound quality.

Amazon.com's Best of 2000
Jill Scott's debut, Who Is Jill Scott?, is a luscious portrait of the artist as a grown woman. In R&B, black femininity has often been reduced to two dimensions: sex and materialism. But Scott lives in 3-D, and it shows in her voluptuous songwriting. She combines a beautiful voice with an extreme generosity of spirit, making her music a dreamy, soulful delight. Lizz Mendez Berry
Amazon.com
Jill Scott is the singer-songwriter who wrote the unforgettable hook on the Roots' "You Got Me." Jill Scott is a better singer than the garble-mouthed Erykah Badu, who mangled those lines (albeit prettily) on the Roots' single. If Scott had sung them (which she does, and marvelously so, on the group's live album, The Roots Come Alive), we would have known what the hell the words were. Thankfully, Jill Scott has put out her own album, which exceeds all hook-derived expectations. She is, in fact, a wonder--a magically soulful tunesmith who writes tunes like "The Way" and "Watching Me" that feel as comfortable, warm, and sexy as Al Green on a cold day. And then she rips into the songs' haunting melodies with a gorgeous honey-crisp alto that'll leave you wanting more. --Sylvia W. Chan

If you didnt know...........2007-07-09
Jill Scott is a genius.Her voice is earthy, soft, powerful, flawless....mixed in with her poetic flair...this album is sexy, inspirational, and just somthing to sit back and groove to. Its mainly for mature listeners, but few young fans like myself can appreciate Jill Scott's many talents. Her music inspires your mind and turns you on, with her romantic and sexy poetry. She's the first of ther kind, with many artists following her pathway. Im not sure if she won grammy's for one but its Grammy worthy. I have all her albums and this is by far my favorite one.
jill scott.......2007-06-30
her album is a story. each song takes you on a journey. not a lot of artist can do that.
Jill Scott is Neo-Soul.......2007-06-27
I LOVE HER! LOVE HER! LOVE HER! This is the first cd that I played so much it started to skip. I enjoy how her similies for love, being a poet her melodic tunes and metaphorical stanzas profoundly inspire me. Buy "Jill Scott" cds and any cd she collaborates.
OVER 500 PEOPLE TOOK TIME TO REVIEW THIS CD.... .......2007-05-18
So what more can I say except, I wish she could do it again.
If you are looking for more good music check out Chrisette Michele's.. I Am.
Where is the GOOD R&B?.......2007-05-02
If one would listen to the "hot" or "popular" so-called R&B artists one would think it's dead or dying. Jill reminds us that it isn't. And it's not that her music needs labeling. It's just good rhythm and blues. REAL R&B music.
Beyonce and Chris Brown are not in my collection so you know where my tastes lie. I like people like Chaka Khan, Patti Austin, Heather Headley, Anita Baker and Luther Vandross. This is part of that. GOOD DARN REAL Music with musicians not someone singing about dumb stuff over a $20 drum machine and calling themselves "producing".
A composer WROTE these songs and a VOCALIST sang them.

Whether with the groundbreaking group Rufus or on her own, Chaka Khan has one of the most distinctive and influential voices in R&B. She's able to wail at full emotive throttle or deliver a love song with nuanced jazz-inflected tones, and sometimes even do both within the same track. This 1996 collection gathers some of Khan's biggest and most beloved solo efforts. Included here are the classic tangy attack of "Ain't Nobody" and the turntable-enhanced smash "I Feel for You" (penned by admirer and recent collaborator Prince). There's also the anthemic original version of "I'm Every Woman," the moody "Through the Fire," and her 1996 collabo with Me'Shell Ndegeocello, "You Never Miss the Water." As all great vocalists do, Khan takes control of every song, breathing fire and life into the words and interpreting them without overpowering their meaning. One listen to Epiphany and it's abundantly clear that, even though she's been AWOL from the charts for a while, Chaka Khan remains a founding mother of soul and funk, armed with a potent voice that can both illuminate and elevate. --Amy Linden

For the first song alone, it's worth it!.......2007-06-15
I must have played, and can verify via iTunes, "Ain't Nobody" at least 50 times since I've gotten this CD. I've missed this song, and it remains my favorite Chaka song. The lead guitar rocks. As a singer, Chaka is first class. Her enunciation and pronunciation is pristine, not the sloppy drivel you hear with today's youngsters. Hear how she sings of "sweet surrenDER", of love warm and "tenDER". Thank you! She sings in ENGLISH, like the best singers do. She reminds me so much of Aretha Franklin in this. I refused to listen to Rufus and other groups because of the exploitative lyrics, but this collection is proof one need not dismiss Chaka Khan as too "street". She has moved beyond Rufus and has matured into a singer of class.
I chose to revisit Ms. Khan when I heard she did an album of standards that was well-received. I don't have that one yet, but I'm definitely encouraged to buy it because of the material on this CD. At $8, it was hardly a big risk. Now I'm hoping Vol. 2 has the other song of hers I'm familiar with and love, her duet with Steve Winwood!
Start your Chaka collection with this.......2007-06-06
This is awesome. I have most of her solo albums as well but most of them are patchy. (I do like the Prince produced "Come 2 My House" album and the 1991 album "The Woman I Am". No tracks from these 2 albums are on this release) There are also some new/bonus tracks which are worthwhile.
Everyone talks about a track which is missing which should have been on the album. Really a double disc release would have been better for Chaka, but you will love this. A double disc would have included tracks from her 1982 self titled album which is super rare, released on CD only in Japan as well as Clouds,and possibly my favorite track from Chaka which appears on the Beverly Hills 90210 soundtrack feat Michael McDonald "Time To Be Lovers". This is easily the best option for a casual fan as it has the main hits on it and even though it's a compilation, it flows very well and doesn't seem dated even though most of the tracks are from the early 80's.
Excellent audio.......2007-05-31
Regardeless of the fact that you might like or not Chaka's performance, the audio is superb and I think it deserves a place in a selected CD inventory.
Such An Enjoyable Album!.......2007-05-11
After listening to every track on this album, I can truly say that the artist has REALLY put her heart into this work of art. Especially great is the track #10, Through The Fire. I highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys a terrific voice and great instrumentals. It is well worth the cost and the time spent listening...
Chaka...so smooth........2007-03-22
To this day, when I am alone and put THROUGH THE FIRE on....and I crank it....and sit back....she makes me shed tears as I imagine her performance in the studio. She doesn't just sing the song....she becomes the song. Amazing vocal range. I'm a huge fan.

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!
Peace, SD

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.

Amazing Anita!.......2007-07-13
This CD is "giving you the best" that Anita has released. Every track is a classic hit.
Anita is Amazing.......2007-07-09
THis album is ridiculously amazing! Anita Baker is a living legend. Her voice is so beautiful and unique. If you are a true fan of soul and r&b this CD should be in your collection. Anita is an innovator and many of whats out now is a copy of her style/work. She has a jazz style that no one can touch. My favorite songs are: Rapture, Sweet Love, Angel, and Good Love. Anita, go girl!
Love It!!!.......2007-06-25
I'm 24 years old which means I was just a young'un coming up listening to Anita Baker. I knew and loved 15 out of 18 of the songs on this cd when I heard it and everytime I hear it..I get goosebumps. I LOVE IT!!! I just can't get enough of it!
Missing One Song.......2007-04-22
I would of givin' This CD 5 stars But it is missing my favorite Anita Song "Soul Inspiration" why was it not on this CD ? every single was on here except that one...hmmm makes me wonder why they excluded it.
The Best of Anita Baker.......2007-03-16
Anita baker is a living legend and most of the songs on this CD support that fully. There are a few stinkers but her voice is as always flawless throughout...
