During the '80s, dynamic male vocalists such as Luther Vandross, Freddie Jackson, Glenn Jones, and Eugene Wilde, just to name a few, dominated R&B airwaves muchlike another soul crooner Lillo Thomas. The New York native bursted onto the music scene penning Melba Moore's classic "Mind Up Tonight." Thomas later went on to score memorable jams like "Your Love's Got a Hold On Me," "You're a Good Girl," "I'm in Love," and "Sexy Girl." This collection is not bad. However, it fails to include the former of the four as well as the extended mix of "Settle Down" and "Who Do You Think You Are," just to name a few. All in all, it's still a wise move to add it your collection if you're an avid fan.

If there are any fans of the Kashif/Morrie Brown/Paul Laurence Jones distinctive danceable sound,Then you are aware of their major hits on Melba Moore ("Love'Comin'At'Cha),Evelyn"Champagne"King("Love Come Down")and Freddie Jackson("Rock Me Tonight")that were created.My greatest discovery was that of Lillo Thomas in 1983 with the"Let Me Be Yours" Lp.I am fortunate to still own it on casette and just recently transfered it to C.D.To me,it was probably his best.Unfortunately,the "Best of.." disc has only"You're A Good Girl" as a representation of this fine album,In Fact,the second LP from 1984("All of you"} and "87's better recieved "Lillo" are heavily supplied on this collection with his duet with Melba Moore on the title track("All Of You"} and the third Lp's chart burners"Wanna Make Love","Downtown","Sexy Girl" and his cover of Otis Redding's"I've Been Loving You Too Long".I'm glad that it is available for todays collector of classic soul.But there is still a lot left out that any recent fan of Lillo Thomas would truly enjoy

When I here Lillo Thomas I start to reminess off his music, he make me more aware of the relation ship that i'm currently in. My favorite song is (GOOD GIRL) although I like all the songs that he (Lillo Thomas) writes.

I am so thankful that Amazon.com can get access to these hard-to-find artists! Lillo's music put me in so many positive moods I couln't name them all! I won a dance contest off of "you're a good girl", cause that was one of my favorites cuts! That CD would be put away in my special stack. There are quite a few excellent cuts that fans should go down memory lane about from the 80's. BUT LILLO DEFINITELY HAD IT GOING ON!

IT IS A GREAT CD HIS MUSIC IS NICE AND MELLOW

I know a few songs of Lillo Thomas, and would love to buy a CD of this artist! Unfortunately - however - I cannot find the titles of the CD anywhere... that makes it a little hard to decide for the purchase, especially since I would like to ensure that the CD contains the songs I am looking for. What do you think about entering the titles? That would be very helpful!!!

Like other people who have reviewed this album, I too had a very warn cassette of the original Lillo bought in the 80s. A few years ago I was dating the girl next door and was heart broken when she called things off. A few weeks later, to my horror another man was calling on her. In a drunken state I decided to phone her, stereo at the ready to play "That Guy Could Have been Me". She answered her phone, I pressed the play button, and the tape chewed itself! - I'm glad now to replace those songs on CD!
She wasn't worth it!

I am in desperate need of this CD. I can't find it, and I have no clue as to where to purchase it. If anyone has it, I beg of you to please send me a copy. I live in New York. I thank you much. cocosymone@yahoo.com

Hey everyone, I am in desperate need of this cd and I was wondering if someone would be so kind to burn my a copy...I live in Atlanta and can't seem to find it....Please help my email address is taimaw2002@yahoo

Thanks in Advance

This was a favorite of mine. I had the cassette and played it until it popped. My favorite song is Good Girl, however, I enjoyed the entire cd. If you like smooth R&B, try this one. Also try Kashif's The Definitive Collection. These two brothers have a nice sound going on. A cool way to remeber the mid-to-late 80's.
