Editorial Review
Screw Barry Manilow--it was Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds who really wrote the songs the whole world sings. From the late '80s to the mid-'90s, no single artist owned the R&B and pop charts with a tighter or more fluid grip than Babyface (and his then partners L.A. Reid and Darryl Simmons), and this Greatest Hits collection is proof of this singer-songwriter/producer's way with romance and rhythm. The catch is that this CD contains only the smashes Face kept for himself: a definitive collection of the songs he handed to others would constitute a box set. This CD covers his solo efforts, from the tangy "Whip Appeal" to the aching "Every Time I Close My Eyes" and the understated "When Will I See You" (arguably the first R&B acoustic power ballad). With two new cuts and a live version of the Grammy-winning "Change the World," these 14 tracks sum up an era in R&B when wearing one's heart on one's sleeve and reaching for the most nuanced of melodies was an act of creative revolution. Sure, some called his act corny, but, as this CD proves, Babyface made minor classics that sound just as gentle and persuasive today as they did back then. --Amy Linden

Good collection of some of his finer songs 2008-06-25
First I'll start like I do on many "Hits" albums by saying, yes there are some good songs that were left off of here, like there are in many "Greatest Hits" album, not everyone likes the same exact songs, but on theis one, you do get 14 of some of the better songs he recorded through the years. You get some upbeat songs and some slower love songs on here. Most of the songs are produced by and written by himself, and of course he did a nice job. Of the 14 songs, you get 1 classic, 1 almost classic, 5 ok songs, and the other 7 are good, with most being real good. Guests ar eon 3 songs. A nice album to have from one of the more consistant R&B singers.

#1 - 8 (upbeat song)
#2 - 6 (another upbeat one)
#3 - 9
#4 - 9
#5 - 9.5

Babyface - Greatest Hits 2007-03-09
If you like Babyface -- this is a must. All the hits on one C.D. No need to look through your C.D. collection to find that special Babyface song. Betcha ten to one, that song is on this C.D.

Love this CD 2007-01-09
I have always loved Babyface and have some of his earlier cassette tapes...I think I just aged myself. Anyway I was pleased to see that I could get almost all of my favorites on one very excellent CD. I listen to this CD on a weekly basis, sometimes daily if I'm having a difficult week at work. It has just the right music to help me get through the work day and calms me down for the drive home. Heck, I even listen to it on the weekends while I'm cleaning or relaxing. I highly recommend purchasing this CD if you love Babyface

Just one awsome song after another 2006-02-11
I'm one of those people that cannot remember the name of a song let alone the artist and when you have a certain one in your mind you will go crazy trying to find it, well I found just what I was looking for on here and more. The stereo started off on a decent volume, but by the 5th song I had it so loud I was concerned about what my neighbors would think was going on in my house!!! Babyface is the ultimate "begger" when it comes to love songs, especially when you need the right words to say and just cannot come up with them yourself. It was just one awsome song after another and I will enjoy this CD for a long time.


Wonderful 2005-09-25
Every song is a wonderful hit. Babyface is a multitalented baladeer and well worth listening to.
