Barry White's Greatest Hits - Barry White

Advantages: Music to make love to........
Disadvantages: bit sad if your listening on your own

...All the classics are here...from the walrus of love. Theres 16 tracks most of which are classics, a couple of weak links but thats personal opinion. Tracks include 'see the trouble with me', 'loves theme', 'let the music play' & 'never gonna give you up'. The CDs presentation is nothing special and the whole thing could be called a cash in....but if you don't own any other Barry White albums then this is well worth considering, if you have then theres no point unless your a die hard fan of his. If your not a big fan of mushy love songs then I'd give this one a miss... it's full of them. Overall I'd recommend it... its a good product nothing new but still good and cheaper than buying all his other albums... Read review

Disadvantages: Goes down hill a bit towards the end

...and Mary belted out a fair few of Gaye's classic ballads and dance tracks. I was hooked, but it wasn't until a few months ago that I finally bought the Best of Marvin Gaye CD - there I was in HMV, taking advantage of the 2 for £20 offer, Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits in one hand and Leftfield's Rhythm and Stealth in the other - what an odd chap the sales assistant must have thought, but when I got the CD home - I realised what a great move I'd made in buying it. In my opinion, the lurv masters don't come much finer than Marvin Gaye - although Barry White was indeed a great talent, he pales into insignificance alongside Marvin Gaye in my opinion. Marvin had an illustrious group and solo career spanning over 20 years: in his time he'd seen close friends die, numerous marriages crumble and a cocaine habit that was eventually to lead to the ruin...

Advantages: All the hits
Disadvantages: Similar to other collections

...I have to confess that I'm totally unfashionable. I've been a Barry Manilow fan since I was 6 years old and I got a Greatest Hits collection for Christmas! This newer collection released in March 2004 has pretty similar material to be honest, even though it's twice as long. It's more convenient than my old vinyl though. Here's the track listing. 1. Mandy 2. Could It Be Magic 3. I Write The Songs 4. Copacabana (At The Copa) 5. Can't Smile Without You 6. Weekend In New England 7. It's A Miracle 8. Trying To Get The Feeling Again 9. I Made It Through The Rain 10. Let's Hang On 11. Somewhere In The Night 12. The Old Songs 13. You're Looking Hot Tonight 14. Even Now 15. Ready To Take A Chance Again 16. Bermuda Triangle 17. Looks Like We Made It 18. Strangers In The Night 19. One Voice 20. Who Needs to Dream... Read review
