This is delicious bubble-gum dance music from one of Miami's biggest male artists. A Florida native, Stevie B became one of the early leaders of freestyle music with the breakout hit "Party Your Body" in 1988, followed by increasingly successful songs such as "I Wanna Be the One" and "Love Me for Life." Stevie also set himself apart from the pack by writing and producing his own music, which was very rare for an '80s dance star. The hits stopped coming in the '90s, though Stevie B continues to record and, as this collection shows, has already left a swooningly romantic--and infinitely danceable--legacy. --John Sanchez

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Stevie B's Greatest Hits, April 8, 2004

By	Don from SF "coach41" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

You may see this album and another album called "Stevie B - The Greatest Hits" and wonder what the difference is.

Well, "The Best of Stevie B" contains many of Stevie's early and most well known songs: Spring Love, I Wanna Be the One, In My Eyes, Because I Love You, Dreamin of Love, and a few others. Because it only is a complation of the earliest hits, it contains some filler stuff from his earlier albums that might not as well known.

However, this is still worth it. The other greatest hits album contains REMIXES of hits like Spring Love, etc and thus this album is the only one where you can get the original mixes.

I recommend this album as well as the other album as good complements to each other. This one give you the older material in it's original form. The other album gives you remixed older songs, but some of Stevie's newer and less known material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, December 15, 1999

By	Smash Mouth Fan (Music Land) - See all my reviews

Great album. Contains some of his best songs from his older CD's, which is great because his older albums are pretty hard to find. Because I Love You (The Postman Song) is absolutely my favorite song on this CD. Spring Love is awesome. Also Dreamin' of Love and Party Your Body are great dance songs. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Freestyle Pioneer..., September 12, 2008

By	D.J. J.C. "Eddie Murphy of the DJ world..." (New York, New York Big City of Dreams) - See all my reviews

Stevie B. was a Freestyle pioneer. From the beginning his music was just "good"...Always danceable, and man, did the ladies love his music or what! His hits are a staple in every serious Latin freestyle fan's collection...songs like "party your body", "In my eyes" and his most popular song of them all "Spring Love" were and still are dancefloor fav's. He did show his range a bit also with "Because I love you" which was Stevie B's only number 1 song. His music was always full of energy and served well for many a dance routine back in the day...I seen him 3 times in concert and he was always entertaining. 'Dreamin'of Love" and I "wanna be the one" were also dancefloor hits...but Honestly after these songs, all others are just fillers which makes me rate it as a 4 instead of a 5...although Stevie B.'s contribution to the Latin Freestyle genre was very valuable...pick this CD up and you'll have a great idea of what Latin Fereestyle is all about...
