Cramming 25 songs onto a single CD, this set captures the Tops during their peak 1960s years, when they rode the pens of Holland, Dozier, and Holland to the top of the charts. Combining the writers' pop melodies, a gentle Motown groove, and Levi Stubbs' earthy lead vocals, the group landed 11 Top 40 singles by 1967, all of which are included on this compilation. Unfortunately, The Ultimate Collection omits later gems such as "Keeper of the Castle," "Ain't No Woman," and "When She Was My Girl," but that leaves room to delve into the unique partnership between the Tops and their songwriting triumvirate. --Marc Greilsamer

Shakey Ground - The Temptations, Bowen, Jeffrey
Treat Her Like a Lady - The Temptations, Williams, Otis [Tem
Error of Our Ways - The Temptations, Williams, Otis [Tem
My Girl - The Temptations, Robinson, Smokey

A brave effort at cramming one disc full of Temptations classics, The Ultimate Collection nevertheless makes a couple of puzzling choices. Why, for instance, include "Error of Our Ways," a very minor mid-'90s hit, and ignore "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" or "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)," both number ones from their classic period? Still, for the price, it's hard to argue with. --Rickey Wright

Barry White - All-Time Greatest Hits

Sales Rank:1054
List Price: $13.98
Lowest New Price: $6.48
Lowest Used Price: $1.78
Artist(s):

Barry White

Tracks:

Love's Theme
I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby
I've Got So Much to Give
Never, Never Gonna Give You Up
Honey Please, Can't Ya See
Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe
You're the First, the Last, My Everything - Barry White, Radcliffe, Peter
What Am I Gonna Do With You
I'll Do for You Anything You Want Me To
Let the Music Play
You See the Trouble With Me - Barry White, Parker, Ray [1] Jr.
Baby, We Better Try to Get It Together
Don't Make Me Wait Too Long
I'm Qualified to Satisfy You
It's Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next to Me - Barry White, Paris, Ekundayo
Playing Your Game, Baby - Barry White, Hudman, Smead
Oh, What a Night for Dancing - Barry White,
Your Sweetness Is My Weakness
Just the Way You Are - Barry White, Joel, Billy
Satin Soul

For those music buyers who have enjoyed Barry White's music since the early 1970s but may not be devoted enough for the three-CD box set Just for You, this 20-track compilation brings together all of White's major chart hits between 1973 and 1979, along with a couple of entries from his Love Unlimited Orchestra. White's distinctive vocal style--a deep, resonant baritone-bass that oozes sex appeal--was the icing on the cake for those hits; superlative string arrangements (courtesy of the late Gene Page) encased White in a lush setting, while White's hand-picked rhythm section (which included many of Los Angeles's top session players) created a groove that was hard to beat. The combination was lethal: hits like "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up," "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe," and "You're My First, My Last, My Everything" made White a chart staple and an early king of disco; his skill as a vocal interpreter was fully evident on a 1979 reading of Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are," another standout on this collection. On the evidence of that track alone, it's hard to believe that, according to legend, White never planned to be a recording artist in his own right and would have been happy to remain in the background as producer and songwriter! --David Nathan

The Best of Sade

Sales Rank:1429
List Price: $16.97
Lowest New Price: $6.60
Lowest Used Price: $5.21
Artist(s):

Sade

Tracks:

Your Love Is King
Hang on to Your Love
Smooth Operator - Sade, Sade
Jezebel
The Sweetest Taboo - Sade, Sade
Is It a Crime
Never as Good as the First Time
Love Is Stronger Than Pride
Paradise
Nothing Can Come Between Us
No Ordinary Love
Like a Tattoo
Kiss of Life
Please Send Me Someone to Love - Sade, Mayfield, Percy
Cherish the Day - Sade, Matthewman, Stuart
Pearls

With her exotic beauty and steamy voice, Sade couldn't help but be a star. Taking the more sensuous elements of island beats, smooth jazz, and R&B, Sade scored major hits with the continental feel of "Smooth Operator" and the sultry stylization of "Your Love Is King." Her voice was often criticized for being thin, yet she made it work to her advantage with songs like the haunting "Jezebel," on which her delivery added the vulnerability necessary to the song. Sade sounded best when she stuck to the lower register, and there is nothing thin about her dynamic handling of her torch song "Is It a Crime." "The Sweetest Taboo" was one of her last great moments before years of mediocrity, chronicled here by the lifeless "Stronger Than Pride" and the limp "Nothing Can Come Between Us." "No Ordinary Love" was a return to form with the smoky richness back in her vocals and the urban/island feel of her first release. Best of Sade goes right up to her hit "Pearls," which, remixed, became a dance floor hit. The nicest surprise here is "Please Send Me Someone to Love," with Sade proving that although her range may be limited vocally, she doesn't suffer the same fate artistically. --Steve Gdula

Home for Christmas

Sales Rank:678
List Price: $9.98
Lowest New Price: $3.63
Lowest Used Price: $0.80
Artist(s):

*NSYNC

Tracks:

Home for Christmas - *NSYNC, Haase, Gary
Under My Tree - *NSYNC, Peiken, Shelly
I Never Knew the Meaning of Christmas - *NSYNC, Rogers, Evan
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays - *NSYNC, Renn, Veit

I Guess It's Christmas Time - *NSYNC, Peiken, Shelly
All I Want Is You This Christmas - *NSYNC, Briley, Martin
The First Noel - *NSYNC, Sandys, William
In Love on Christmas - *NSYNC, Bennett

O Holy Night - *NSYNC, Adam, Adolphe
Love's in Our Hearts on Christmas Day - *NSYNC, Haase, Gary
The Only Gift - *NSYNC, Christensen, Maria
Kiss Me at Midnight - *NSYNC, Renn, Veit

Home is the last place these pop-aholics will be at Christmas: 'N Sync were on such a tight touring schedule in 1998, it's a wonder they even had time to record this disc in time for the holidays. The standard carols--"The First Noël," and "The Christmas Song"--aren't nearly as much fun as the original tracks here, but the a cappella version of "O Holy Night" is by far the masterpiece, and proof that the boys are more than just hyper-pretty faces. In fact, their superbly blended harmonies save what could have been ill-fated attempts to put a '90s R&B spin on songs like "In Love on Christmas" and the title track. "The Only Gift" and "Under My Tree" are addictive despite being overly cute, and you'll have a hard time getting "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" out of your head. Keep in mind that Christmas CDs belong in the background, let go of your anti-pop prejudices for just one day, and you'll be bopping along with the boys in no time. --Rebecca Wallwork

Get Lifted

Sales Rank:724
List Price: $13.98
Lowest New Price: $5.97
Lowest Used Price: $4.28
Artist(s):

John Legend

Tracks:

Prelude
Let's Get Lifted
Used to Love U
Alright
She Don't Have to Know
Number One
I Can Change
Ordinary People
Stay With You
Let's Get Lifted Again
So High
Refuge (When It's Cold Outside)
It Don't Have to Change
Live It Up

Given the sped-up classic soul samples with which Kanye West has made his mark, it comes as no surprise that the producer/rapper would pick a tradition-minded R&B singer as his first big pet project. Legend first made his name on Philly's incense-clouded, '70s-obsessed neo-soul scene, then found his way to New York and became West's right-hand man in the studio. His patron's pop smarts serve Legend well--while many contemporary R&B records rely too heavily on a singer's cadence and skill to carry underdeveloped tunes, Legend and West have composed genuine songs like the perky "Number One," which has a lovestruck West jabbering that he no longer believes that "my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis." (It's way more convincing than Snoop Dogg's pledge of love on the next track, "I Can Change.") And even when the melodies are slight, West slides some nasty bass lines underneath, hinting at just enough of a hip-hop sensibility to keep the album from drifting into retro nostalgia. Yet Legend is no mere producer's plaything. His voice isn't immediately distinctive; he's neither as careworn as Anthony Hamilton nor as creamy as D'Angelo. But his gift for restraint sets him apart: the sex-as-drug metaphor of the title track is hardly fresh, but Legend delivers it smoothly enough to make it work, without pressing the issue. All bedroom come-ons have been used before. This late in the game, it's a matter of how well you use 'em. --Keith Harris
