This is a great album to introduce you to the wonder and power of Jennifer Holliday's voice. From the smooth ballads to the powerhouse song, "And I am Telling You...", that she is known for, Jennifer takes you on a vocal journey that I assure you is well worth the trip. I have had the pleasure of seeing her perform live and I find it hard to believe that she is not in everyone's music collection. Buy it!!! You won't be disappointed!!

This cd will spell doom for the previously released "The Best Of Jennifer Holliday" released on the Geffen label. That set was well packaged and presented, it features a stunning portrait of Jennifer, not a snapshot. That set also featured remixes, a cut from her Arista set, and an unreleased outtake. This set re-releases the "meat" of that album, with alternate selections from "Get Close To My Love." The mastering of this cd isn't as clean as the aforementioned Geffen release, at least the alternate cuts presented here are better mastered than the re-release of "Get Close To My Love" which was Jennifer's swan song for Geffen. This cd is a good introduction to Jennifer's work for the casual fan and the collector of the 20th Century Masters series. For the rest of us, the presence of the alternate tracks remastered makes for a worthwhile purchase. The tracks are the original album tracks, no remixes or extended versions of the dance hits. The out-of-print "Say You Love Me" could have been better represented, since Jennifer's other Geffen albums are available, and it would have ensured the previous compilation would have remained in print.

just for "Am I Telling You" alone is a Must have Gem.Jennifer Holiday truly is one of the Most Underrated Artists over the past 20 years too me overall.with what goes for Singers especially Female Vocalists Jennifer Holiday alone would Blow away 95% of what goes Singing.a good reminder of a Vocalist with alot of Promise who never quite got the chance She deserved.
