4.0 out of 5 stars I WONDERED when this was coming, May 25, 2004

When news arrived a year or so ago that Lil' G was leaving Silk, a lot of people then decided that the group was pretty much done. This notion was further confirmed with the horrendous follow-up album Silktime, but now Elektra presents a "best of" album for them.

The beginning of this collection takes you back to 1992, as the group's first two songs, "Happy Days" and "Freak Me", hit the speakers. And don't worry; the remix of the latter shows up toward the end of the album. Other favorites can be found on here, like "If You", "Girl U For Me" and "Lose Control". There are also several offering from their underrated 1996 self-titled album, like "Don't Rush", "Hooked On You", and "I Can Go Deep".

There is only a single song from Love Session, "We're Callin' You", which is okay (a little too long, though), and there are no songs from Silktime (but hey, this isn't called the WORST of Silk). And the very last song is especially rewarding because it features the 12" remix of "Happy Days", which is very hard to find anywhere. This is a good compilation to pick up for any Silk fan, past or present, or even for any contemporary R&B fan. The title says it best: this IS the best of Silk.

Happy Days are here again with the release of a greatest hits album by 90's mega group Silk. If you were a true R&B fan in the 90s then you were a fan of Silk's music. They had countless hits in their collection, and The Best of Silk highlights practically all of them. If you include the opening interlude, there are SIX tracks from their first album Lose Control on this greatest hits disc. They are the opening "Interlude," "Happy Days," "Freak Me," "Lose Control," "Girl U For Me," and "It Had To Be You." They also include two remixes of "Happy Days" and "Freak Me" at the end of the disc. Songs from their self-titled second album include "I Can Go Deep" (which was also from A Low Down Dirty Shame Soundtrack), "Hooked On You," and "Don't Rush." Songs from Tonight consist of "Let's Make Love," "If You (Lovin' Me)," "The Return," and "Meeting In My Bedroom." "We're Callin' You" is the only song from their last album Love Session with all the original crew. Thankfully they didn't include anything from their independent album that was released minus Little G. All in all, this was a good package of solid hits. You should definitely add The Best of Silk to the collection if you don't already own the original albums.

Oh lordy. These guys can sang!!! Freak Me would have to be one of the most sensual and sexiest songs ever sung. It's amazing and still raises my temperature. Freak Me, Happy Days and Meeting In My Bedroom are the best tracks here, but overall, it's all good. I should get a second copy in case this breaks from over play, but seriously, it's an amazing cd with stunning music and it's a must for any r 'n b fan. These guys are unfortunately very underated. I love them and I love this.
