Editorial Review:
After mounting successes with the Commodores during the late '70s, Lionel Richie exploded into one of the biggest stars of the '80s, then enigmatically disappeared from the music business for nearly a decade. Fourteen of the tracks on this 20-track anthology (which also includes a five-cut bonus disc compiled by Richie) topped the charts, ample testimony to Richie's remarkable success in shifting from the Commodores' roots in the Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye Motown to a pioneering career as a crossover balladeer. His willful drift to the middle of the road found that its yellow line was nothing but gold. This collection charts the singer's upbeat successes with his former band, segues gracefully into the ballads and party-lite sensibility that made him such an unlikely '80s icon, and touches on his late-'90s reemergence. A newly recorded duet with Enrique Iglesias on "To Love a Woman" suggests that the elder popmeister hasn't lost his touch; indeed, his voice seems more warm and soulful than ever. --Jerry McCulley

This album surprised me. I did not realize how talented he really is (or was). These songs will take you back. They are relaxing and entertaining.

Rating: - I've Always Been A Fan Of Mr. Richie!
Lionel Richie, has always been a favorite artist of mine. He broke out in the 1980's as a solo artist, before that he was with the very successful group "The Commordores". On this album, you will find all of Lionel's greatest solo hits. My all time favorite from this album is "You Are". I remember hearing that track on the radio back in the day and still sound great today. No one makes music like they used to. I'm glad someone comes up with these Definitive Collections to listen to what was once ... Read More
