James "D-Train" Williams was one of the 1980s very best male R&B singers yet he never really received the acclaim and recognition due him. This CD has most of the big hits from 1981-85 but it should have included the ORIGINAL version of "You're The One For Me" (not the 1985 remix!).This CD is nonetheless a great compilation and is indispensable for any 1980s urban R&B fan.

If you want to see some of your older cousins, uncles and aunts party,(40 - 50 yr old group), Get this CD. You will see more people imitating the Soul Train line than doing the electric slide! If you are in the mid-thiries range (like myself), you are going to join in.

Your'e the One for me has to be the all time ghetto jam! Everyone in NYC played the hell out of this song. And since we have a "D" Train line here, we represented to the fullest!

Keep On was great, talk about motivational, this was way before Iylana Vanzant!

If you want another good back in the day music collection piece, buy "Best of the 12 Inch Mixes" - D. Train.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST CD`S GOING AT THIS TIME.ITS CLASSIC 80`S

I recently had the pleasure of meeting D-train about 2 months ago at a club in New York and I can honestly say that he hasn't lost his touch. His sound today sounds much better than it did in the 80's!

D-train Lives On!

All these songs are good. Unfortunately, I bought this CD thinking it was different from "The Best Of D Train," HOWEVER it is 99% the same. One song, "Trying To Get Over" is approx. three minutes longer on this CD, but that's it.

This was purchased as a gift for a friend. It arrived promptly, was in excellent condition, and has provided my friend with hours of nostalgic reverie. Thanks again for your wonderful service!!!
