Babyface: A Collection of His Greatest Hits is one of the best greatest hits collections I have bought. He includes great hits such as For The Cool In You, It's No Crime, Whip Appeal, When Can I See You Again, This Is For The Lover In You, Change The World, and How Come How Long. Plus many others. The album flows really well, and it is an album I can leave in my CD player, not having to switch tracks. This album proves that Babyface is one of the greatest performers/songwriters EVER. The album has songs from many different periods of R&B, and Babyface's music defined those. The new tracks on here are great, and Reason For Breathing has to be one of my favorite songs now. I recommend you buy this CD as soon as possible, because Babyface deserves much more respect than he gets for all his hard work and talent!

What more can I say. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds is one of the greatest singer, songwriter, and producers of all-time. This man as the "platinum" touch! I've been a fan of his ever since I heard "Two Occassions" by the Deale as a 14 year old ninth grader. Still today that song ranks as my all-time favorite love song. Babyface is truly a genius. He taught me about chivalry and how a real man should be. His greatest hits collection is simply just that "great"!

Almost all the songs are #1 hits. All of his hits are included, and he even adds two new songs that will delight true Babyface fans. "Reason For Breathing" and "When Men Grow Old" are classic Babyface (full of sensitivity, understanding and love), but like any true fan knows, that it's elevated artwork from a genius who only gets better with time. I loved "I Love You Babe", this is a song that gets into your spine, and was the highlight on his first album "Lovers", which also had my song "Chivalry". There's also my personal favorite "Where Will You Go"! This song is from his "Tender Lover" album. "Whip Appeal", and the gentleman's anthem "Soon As I Get Home" are featured. I love this album and every song on it, because Babyface teaches and reaches! He is what a call a real man who believes in chivalry, loves women, and puts God first in his life. This man does wonders with a guitar and piano. He is truly a songwriter that has touched many people's hearts through his music and through the songs he has written for others. Babyface has over 100 Billboard top ten hits to his name and has sold millions of albums, and has caused the artists he has wrote and produced for to sell hundreds of millions.

This is truly a classic album and basically the work of my favorite singer who has truly inspired my life and my heart! Every song is something to love and cherish, and I truly love and cherish this wonderful album by I man I consider my mentor. Every album is represented beautifully and he shows that he will go down in history as truly one of the best and most blessed! If you're a man and need to learn a little bit more about sensitivity, romance and love then look no further. If you're a woman who wants to realize what true love and a real man is all about then look no further. Babyface will bless your mind, heart and soul! God is Love!!!

Ever since he was with The Deele, I have been a Babyface fan. The live version of "Two Occasions" and "Sweet November" still get constant rotations in my CD player. Kenneth Edmonds has always had a way with words and music. He has wriiten and produced for many other artists and has many #1 and top ten hits to his credit. The first Babyface CD I purchased was "Tender Lover" and I have got everyone of his since. Babyface is very versatile. He can do a song like "It's No Crime" and then he can come back with slow jams to remember like "Whip Appeal". He can do a remix for the song, "This Is For The Love Of You" with Puff Daddy & Ghostface Killah and then he can come out with another slow jam classic like "Seven Seas", which is on "The Day" CD. At first, I was not going to purchase this CD, because I have all of his CDs in my collection, but when I heard "Reason For Breathing" I had no choice but to go make a purchase. This song alone is worth the ... "Reason For Breathing" is classic Babyface. So just in case you thought he lost it, this is just a song to show people that there is still more Babyface to come. Other Babyface classics such as "Where Will You Go", "Never Keeping Secrets", "When Will I See You Again" & "Everytime I Close My Eyes" are featured, as well as, my favorite Babyface song of all time, "Soon As I Get Home". Other than "Reason For Breathing", he also has a new song called "When Men Grow Old", which is also a good song as well. The only three songs I might have featured that aren't on this greatest hits CDs are "Love Makes Things Happen" w/Pebbles, "Seven Seas", and "I Said I Love You". To anyone that is a Babyface fan and has not bought any of his CDs, this is a great collection of songs to have.

I love his voice and his music. I have had this cd for ages now but started listening to it again after buying his latest cd and re-finding my love for Babyface. Whip Appeal and Soon As I Get Home, are two of my all time favourite songs ever and I can play this cd endlessly without boring from it. It's No Crime is another great song (more boppy), but no matter if he sings slow or fast songs, his voice is always flawless and it's such a joy to listen to him. This cd can be used in any occasion. It has a little bit of everything.

Babyface is the guy behind the biggest productions by black artists (and not only...see Madonna) of the last decade.

Funny thing: along with working with TLC, Toni Braxton, Pebbles, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight...and the list could go on and on, he also released his own records.

And always never topped his protegèes' success overseas.

While being successful in the US, he never really broke through here in Europe.

This compilation gives you access to the best of his own work.

There are real good tracks as the acoustic WHEN CAN I SEE YOU or the slow jams WHIP-APPEAL and NEVER KEEPING SECRETS.

IT'S NO CRIME is hard as much as I LOVE YOU BABY is jumpy but sweet.

EVERYTIME I CLOSE MY EYES has Mariah Carey backing up and Kenny G. saxing on it.

CHANGE THE WORLD is the version of the Eric Clapton's smash interpreted by the songwriter point of view.

There are more cute things to listen to in here.

And if you concentrate enough on the music, you will recognize the familiar sound that sold million of copies worldwide through other artists' vocals.
