Record these songs, in this order. It doesn't get better than this. Don't overload this album with too much of a good thing. Only Kelly's Great songs.

A previous reviewer complained about some tracks that were on this set. Considering that Kelly has so many hits, that is fair enough coz not everything can be fit on one volume. However to say that "Sex Me" is a filler and not a hit is totally wrong. It was R&B top 10, Pop top 20 and went Gold. In fact it charted higher than "Dedicated" which the reviewer insisted should have made it on the cd. Also "Fiesta" remix was indeed one of Kelly's biggest hits, being an R&B # 1 and pop #6, and was named the most popular (chart wise) R&B/Hip Hop song of 2001 by Billboard themselves. The songs from Born Into The 90s that made it here are also justified. "Honey Love" was the first of the R.'s 10 R&B #1 hits and "She's Got That Vibe" was the song that gave him his initial worldwide popularity. Every song on this set is contemporary R&B at its greatest and deserves to be on vol. 1 and I totally recommend this to any new or longtime R&B fan. Bring on BOBW2, The Secret album and R. In R&B Vol. 2!!!

From the first track "Bump N` Grind" to the last one,(THE THREE TIME GRAMMY AWARD WINNER)"I Believe I Can Fly" you just have CLASSIC MASTERPIECE SONGS on THIS UNBELIEVABLE GREATEST HITS ALBUM BY THE MUSICAL GENIUS HIMSELF...WHO ELSE? - MR. R.KELLY.
AND THEN YOU GET FOUR AWESOME NEW SONGS BY HIM:HIS SMASHING HIT "THOIA THOING", THE BEAUTIFUL MAGIC "TOUCHED A DREAM", THE CLASSIC "GHETTO RELIGION" AND THE ENTERTAINING "THOIA THOING" REMIX, WITHOUT COUNTING THE BONUS REMIXES CD THAT IS ALL GREAT TOO. I TELL Y`ALL, YOU COULDN`T HAVE A BEST R&B GREATEST HITS ALBUM LIKE "THE R. IN R&B COLLECTION VOL.1", BECAUSE R. IS R&B AT HIS BEST. I SUGGEST TO EVERYONE WHO DOESN`T EVEN LIKE R&B TO BUY THIS CLASSIC BECAUSE R. IS MAKING THE WHOLE MUSIC INDUSTRY BUMPING AND HAVING HITS FOR EVERYBODY. I RECOMENDED TO BUY AT 2 COPIES OF THIS GREATNESS OF MUSIC. GET SOME LOVE TO YOUR LIFE AND GET THIS NOW...HURRY UP!!!!

Let me tell you all, in a stream of words, what R. Kelly's new CD means. First of all, it's nice to see an artist not completely obscured by a golden shower of jewelry. Early leaks of this project said that Kelly piddled his studio time away; however, this young wiz has done it again.

Missing are the tinkling of bells or wind instruments so many artists choose to lend credence to their compilations; instead R. Kelly has dumped all his talent into a smooth blend of remixes that seem to just slide out of the man. Considering the extreme competion for the dwindled music market, it has to be a load off that his CD has done so well.

In closing, R. Kelly had done it again, rating a solid #2 in the world of music.
