I have searched high and low for this CD and I finally found it. They quickly told me that his music is out of print. This CD is the best. I have played it so much that my 14 yr old love it as well. I love Kashif's music. Anyone who is contemplating on getting this CD should not hesitate but go ahead and get it because his CD's are no where to be found in the stores. You will most certainly be pleased with your purchase trust me!!! There are samples of each song. Go and take a listen.

KASHIF....IS BY FAR STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST PRODUCER IN MUSIC NOT ONLY IS THIS CD A GREAT ONE BUT YOU MUST READ HIS BOOK

Kashif was one of the most prolific and innovative R&B producers/songwriters of the 1980s. He produced and wrote numerous smash hits for the likes of Melba Moore, Evelyn King, Whitney Houston, Kenny G. and George Benson (among others) and is deservedly viewed as one of 1980s R&B's most important figures. This superb collection features the timeless "Are You The Woman", "Baby Don't Break Your Baby's Heart", "Help Yourself To My Love", "Stone Love" and "Love Me All Over" as well as duets with Melba Moore, Dionne Warwick and Meli'sa Morgan. I diodn't give this CD five stars, however, because the title track of his "Send Me Your Love" album was (surprisingly) ommitted.

Any 'definitive' collection of Kashif's works should include the music he has produced and written for other artists. Artists such as Melba Moore and Whitney Houston. Kashif has a great style. Kashif has definitely left his signature on 80's R & B, with his own music and the recordings he produced for others.

Kashif made some great solo albums back in the '80s. I like the '83 and '84 hits that are on here, especially Stone Love, Lover Turn Me On, Baby Don't Break My Baby's Heart (my favorite, especially the girls singing on that chorus--don't know if its two or three girls singing, then Kashif does his part), and some others. The '85, '87 and '89 songs are also good here and showed his versatility as an artist. He made some addictive but musically solid songs here. His Love Changes with my girl Me'lisa Morgan was also solid. He later wrote/produced some great songs for Whitney Houston's album, which really took off big and made him loads of royalties! Which brings us back to this album and proves that Kashif was a star and success in his own right! This ultimate collection covers everything by him!

It is so funny to me because I used to hear Kashif's music a long time ago on the radio but never knew his name. Kashif's music is awesome.

This is the kinda stuff that any old school lover should have in their collection. The beat, lyrics and superb production in tracks like "I just gotta..", "dancing in the dark" or "reservation for two", is really pure viagra for the soul. And, to end this conversation (and the tears in my eyes), just listen to the superb voices of divas like Dionne Warwick, Melba More and Melissa Morgan. Spectacular! divine! Hey, if you don't get married to this album, maybe you're not ready!

"I just gotta have ....." has been one of my all time favourite tracks. After listening to the definitive Collection, I know this man to be one, all round talented dude. I love every song on this CD.

this Man is a Genius.he has worked with a whose who of the Business.his Writting&Production were very essential to the 80's and have stood the test of time.cuts such as I just gotta(have you Lover turn me on),Stone Love,Reservations for two w/Dionne Warwick,Love Changes W/ Melisa Morgan.he also has a Book called everything you better Know about the Music Business.it's a must have for folks trying to get into the Biz.Folks Like Kashif&Nile Rodgers are not only Genius but also have alot of Knowledge about the Biz Surrroundings.

Kashif is probably one of the most unsung R&B singers of the 1980s. He is one of my all-time soul crooners. I believe many will be surprised how strong he is. Kenny G knew a good thing when he saw it; both were involved in a few songs, including "Help Yourself to My Love". If you're interested in true "old school", this is the place to start. Get this one. I am.
