Editorial Reviews :
After mounting successes with the Commodores during the late '70s, Lionel Richie exploded into one of the biggest stars of the '80s, then enigmatically disappeared from the music business for nearly a decade. Fourteen of the tracks on this 20-track anthology (which also includes a five-cut bonus disc compiled by Richie) topped the charts, ample testimony to Richie's remarkable success in shifting from the Commodores' roots in the Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye Motown to a pioneering career as a crossover balladeer. His willful drift to the middle of the road found that its yellow line was nothing but gold. This collection charts the singer's upbeat successes with his former band, segues gracefully into the ballads and party-lite sensibility that made him such an unlikely '80s icon, and touches on his late-'90s reemergence. A newly recorded duet with Enrique Iglesias on 'To Love a Woman' suggests that the elder popmeister hasn't lost his touch; indeed, his voice seems more warm and soulful than ever. --Jerry McCulley
Buyer Reviews :
Words cannot express how wonderful this music collection is. Combining great hits from the Commodores like 'Three Times A Lady' and 'Sail On', Lionel Richie provides his fans the passion, heart, and soul of his music in The Definitive Collection. Also included with the album are two new tracks not heard in any of his other albums: 'Goodbye' and 'To Love A Woman (featuring Enrique Iglesias)'. And if you buy this now, you will receive a bonus CD that contains four unreleased songs and a hidden track; this is only for a limited time. This CD should not be missed for any Lionel Richie fan. You will not be disappointed.
