2.0 out of 5 stars Who's Running This Funk Stand?, August 27, 2005

By	Mikey Sayz - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of One Way: Featuring Al Hudson & Alicia Myers (Audio CD)

This is the closest you can get to a good One Way compilation. Yet, despite its highlights, it is disappointing. It has 4 tracks which are labelled Alicia Myers, and none of those tracks sound anything like One Way. The interruption of the funk flow would not be so bad, but for the fact that the Alicia Myers tracks are awful. Particularly, the almost 8 minutes of Say, Say, Say is boring, boring, boring. There are other One Way compilation CD's, and those are sorely lacking also. What's the deal? I have 4 One way albums sitting in my closet, and from those albums, I know, beyond a doubt, that I could pick 15 songs, call it Greatest Hits, and people would say, "Yeah, that's my One Way." Why are this band's decision makers so darn confused?

5.0 out of 5 stars An Immaculate Gem, February 11, 2002

By	muzyksohlchile (Orangeburg, SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of One Way: Featuring Al Hudson & Alicia Myers (Audio CD)

An immaculate collection on one of R&B/Funk's finest. Though underrated and always innovative, Detroit based One Way has always kept music lovers wanting more with memorable jams like "Cuttie Pie," "You Can Do It," "Push," and "Pop It," just to name a few. Also featured as a major bonus and delight is the addition of solo hits from powerhouse vocalist Alicia Myers. This diva delivers heavily with great impact on the classics "I Want to Thank You," "If You Play Your Cards Right" and the R&B Top 10 smash "You Get the Best From Me (Say, Say, Say)." Another definite winner.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yuck!, August 30, 2005

By	Bad Willow (Sunnydale,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best of One Way: Featuring Al Hudson & Alicia Myers (Audio CD)

Before anyone gets the wrong idea about this review,I'd like to say that One Way is a fabulous group.I think they are waaaaay underated.MCA/Universal or whoever put this garbage of a compilation together should be ashamed of themselves.One Way is in DIRE need of a worthwhile collection,and this one misses the mark big time.My guess is the industry has been overlooking One Way because their records have not been placing high on the charts or selling "Thriller" type numbers.What about us One Way fans that religiously bought those records? In short,where is "Love Is","Guess You Didn't Know","Lost Inside Of You" & "Toast To The Other Man"?
