For a time during the eighties few male artists, with the notable exception of Michael Jackson and maybe Prince, could claim an output as solid as that of former Commodores frontman Lionel Richie. Listening to this collection leaves little wonder as to why his popularity soared during the period, gravitating with ease between uptempo('All Night Long','Dancing On The Ceiling') and his trademark balladry('Truly','Say You, Say Me'). Granted, he wasn't without sap-induced sentiment on occasion('Hello' has always grated on me personally), but such sappiness was often outweighed by the sincerity in his performance. There are a couple of glaring ommissions('My Love' should have been included), but overall this more than makes up for the incompleteness of his two previous collections.
