4.0 out of 5 stars Not The Best Of R & A But The Best Of R & B For Early 80's, July 1, 2002

By	Armando M. Mesa (Chandler, AZ) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Without a doubt some of the tracks will sound like outdated early R&B, dance tracks because, well, that's what they are. However, this duo was just as hot if not hotter than other duos of the era such as Peaches & Herb, Ashford and Simpson, etc. Also, like Ashford and Simpson, Rene and Angela would write and even perform instruments and background vocals for an early Janet Jackson album and a Rufus and Chaka Khan comeback (out of print) album. It was the strong and sensual vocal harmonies that Rene Moore and Angela Winbush produced that gave them a certain edge over other imitators of their style.Rene's vocal style was less aggressive than Angela's yet they created beautiful music together.It wasn't until their smash 1985 LP titled Street Called Desire that would catapult them to R&B stardom that would go beyond their previous success with just the dance club going faithful. Still, this Classic Masters Collection offers some remarkable memories of those hot summer nights listening to that R&B station in Anywhere, USA !

3.0 out of 5 stars Early Rene And Angela, May 31, 2002

By	disco75 "disco75" (State College, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This cd presents four tracks from each of R&A's first three albums. They are beautifully remastered and give a good sampling of the early efforts of this duo. The liner notes are informative. The music itself is an uneven affair, as the duo try to find their sound in the years of 1980, 1981, and 1983. Each track is full-length, making this cd worth the price just for "I Love You More."
