while i still dig His "For The Cool In You" Disc&Some of "It's no Crime" Set Babyface at the end of the day is Better at writing&Producing for other Artists&this Hits points that out clearly because His Voice&Musical Offerings start to wear out right near the end.still can't nobody take away the Great Decade Run this Man had.He truly was on a roll.I still enjoy many of His Cuts but there are only a few jams on this Set that hold my full attention but they still are smoking."Whip Appeal","When Can I See You Again"&a few others.

is imposible create a Babyface essential with out ''its no crime'' first top 40 single and do not include whip appeal single version,i don't purchase this

I finally got this because it was $5 at [someplace I don't want to name]. I avoided it for years because it had the NERVE to leave off the big hit (and only fast song) "It's No Crime". At 66 minutes, that and more could have been included easily. Comparing the track list to Babyface's list of chart hits, I see that "Tender Lover" (#1 R&B, #14 pop) and "And Our Feelings" (#8 R&B, #21 pop) are missing too. So is his last top 40 pop hit "There She Goes" (#10 R&B, #31 pop), but I can't remember if the Sony/BMG merger--which would have allowed Arista hits to combine with the Epic/Solar stuff--happened before this CD was released.

Still, three stars because what's here is first-rate '90's ballad and mid-tempo R&B.

I've been buying music from the 60's thru the 80's. I did not own anything by him and when my sister raved about how she loved him, I decided to buy this cd. I'm glad I did. I enjoy his music very much and am surprised that I never gave him that much thought in the past. Now, I'm a fan.

This is a cd you can put on and just let it play. The sound quality is excellent which is what I look for in a recording. The music is great with all the songs that I wanted on one disk.
