This CD has some excellent gems for those who like more high gloss soul from the late 70s & early 80s. Such jewels as "Cha Cha", "Wishful Thinking", and "Where there is love"... have beautiful instrumentation which seems to mix jazz, soul, and even some classical all in one. Of course her big hits, partially named in the title, are included here, but the lesser known songs are what MAKE this anthology. It's a shame that songs like "High in Me" and "I need your love" aren't on this album, but the collection is still great. These tracks display a good mixture of strings, piano, classical guitar, and bass which may have influence other bands of this time period like CHIC, with whom she toured. This compilation is a must for die-hard Patrice fans or those who like mellow music with a touch of class.

What can you about Patrice Rushen? Her talent is so Great.Her Musical Talent reaches so many styles.all of Her Great SOngs plus her other Material.She has Been Playing for a Really Long Time.from JAZZ,SOul,Funk,Pop,etc.....Great Production,Musicianship&Arrangements&Vocals.this is a must.

Omg, Patrice is one of the queens of soul. Her music brings back such great memories of the 80s when I lived in Washington, DC in the Marines stationed at Arlington, VA. "Remind Me" is one of my favorites by Patrice. Other great R&B Soul groups from that era I liked would be the group "Change" and "Glow of love" - wasn't that Luther doing the vocals on that? Then there's the "Jones Girls" from that same era with "nights over egypt" and who could ever forget Linda Clifford and "Runaway Love" off her "I'm yours" CD. Then there was Quincy Jones with Razzamatazz "the dude" albulm, and Valentine Brother's "first take CD with their hit "just let me be close to you"
One CD I'm trying to find but can't is an old Patti Austin albulm on CD with song called "Hot! in the flames of love" can't find it anywhere, I have it on vinyl 33" Remember Jermaine Jackson's hit with his brother Michael (too good to be true) or "tell me I'm not dreamin". Also like Ashford and Simpson - "the best of" with - "found a cure"; "love it away"; and "high rise".
