5.0 out of 5 stars Second best thing to a Box set, April 16, 2001

While its a nice idea to have all Millie Jakson charted singles in one place,nevertheless she was a singer who achieved her best work on several concept albums,so it would be much better to have her work in Box set.For example,her ground-breaking "Caught Up" album in these circumstances is presented only with one song (and without famous "rap") so it doesnt not show the depth of the whole story.Just as Marvin Gaye cannot be understand just though his hit singles,to listen Millie's original albums in full lenght is required listening to understand what she achieved.What is obvious here is that she was fantastic singer from the start - her very first single "Child Of God" is still one of her best songs - and that she kept her own high standards though 17 albums presented here in a nutshell.As I own some of the listed albums,I know for sure that "singles" are perhaps the most obvious,but not neccesary the best selection.This is a very good compilation,but its just a glimpse to what made Millie great - as for me,I would continue to look for her original albums because they are supposed to be heard as they were,with or without hit singles.
