Nice idea that Geffen Records would release its own collection of Bobby Brown, but I like the 14-song CD that MCA released in 2000 better. It has his more definitive and funkier songs. And it's longer, 63 minutes. This one has a lot of songs from Don't Be Cruel, but he did more songs after that high creative peak he had in 1988 and 1989. Good attempt, but this is too much of an attempt to one up over the longer compilation albums by Bobby and New Edition on the market.

I really enjoyed this Bobby Brown cd for my collection, plus it's a greatest hits also. I used to love Bobby Brown and still do love his music, I think he is a great singer and performer.

If you are looking for just the key hits and don't want to get too many album cuts that you've never heard of, then I suggest that you get this album instead of the sanctioned "greatest hits" package. The quality is good, the songs run in chronologic order, the price is very low for the value, and you even get the hard to find guilty pleasure "On our own" (from the "Ghostbusters II soundtrack").
