5.0 out of 5 stars IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!, December 12, 2007

I AM VERY PLEASED THAT THESE CD'S ARE NOW READILY AVAILABLE TO US IN THE U.S. BUT THEY HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE IN EUROPE FOR THE LONGEST TIME. AMAZON HERE NEEDS TO CATCH UP WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD. THIS IS BB&Q AT THEIR BEST. THE LATE CURTIS HAIRSTON DOES MOST OF THE LEAD VOCALS AND HE WAS JUST AMAZING.

The voice of Curtis Hairston, lead singer of BBQ is the soundtrack of my coming of age. Songs such as "Genie" and "Dreamer" remind me of urban summers of house parties, cookouts, and true community......prior to the destructon that the crack epidemic bought to the Northeastern sections of America. Curtis died at a young age but his music lives on in this Greatest hits cd!

Up until 2007, I had never even heard of the "Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens" Band. Well, I had heard several of their songs over the years, but never knew the band/group that performed them, well, that's my loss!

This album, 'Genie' is a good effort from the band. My favorite, of course is the Title Track, 'Genie.' I can listen to this song (which captures 80's (slightly) up tempo, ballads), over and over again. To me, Genie rates a 'five-star' rating, but the rest of the tracks fall a little short. Not bad, but not great either (but that's just my opinion - you may think differently!).

I rate this album, three stars!
