Excellent selection of songs is transformed into a must have by the inclusion of the FULL versions of these songs. I have purchased many compilations from Amazon, but this is one of a select few that actually contain the full versions of the songs (with the notable exception of Nights in White Satin): 10cc's "I'm Not in Love" is 6 minutes, Stephanie Mills "Never Knew Love Like This Before", and Peaches & Herb's "Reunited" is 5:42. I only wish it had "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates. Recommended.

I bought this a year ago when it was first released,and I still find myself listeneing to it everyday,and falling asleep to it everynight. The ballads on here are beautiful and touching. Especially,"I'm Not in Love"by 10cc & "I Wanna Know What Love is" by Foreigner. I recommend this album to everyone!

This awesome two CD set boasts a total of twenty-four tracks that are perfect "make-out" music; it's terrific to hear so many ageless tunes! There are a lot of artists on these two CDs and that's great. The quality of the sound is very, very good and I like the artwork as well.

The first CD starts with Elton John performing "Your Song." He does this with panache and I'm very impressed. Elton sings with great sensitivity and it's truly an ageless love song. Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last" has her singing at her very best and the music fits perfectly with her vocals. The Association does "Never My Love" with a lot of heart and soul; they really do this wonderfully and they never miss a beat, either! "Never My Love" is easily a major highlight of this album; and there's yet another huge, huge gem, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" which gets the royal treatment from The Bee Gees. The Bee Gees deliver this faultlessly and it's a very special, tender, melancholy song, to say the least.

Bread does "Make It with You" without ever letting go of a single superfluous note; they always made it seem so simple but of course we know it really wasn't easy--their talent carried them through every time. "Make It with You" charms me with its natural beauty and I could never tire of hearing Bread do this gorgeous song. Extreme's "More Than Words" is also very well done; the guitar arrangement is quite handsome and it all holds its own very well. We also get Eric Clapton with his tune "Wonderful Tonight;" "Wonderful Tonight" could never go out of style--this is really great music! "Up Where We Belong" gets a fine treatment by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes; and the first CD ends with The Pretenders' "I'll Stand by You."

The second CD continues the hits. Peter Frampton does "Nassau/Baby, I Love Your Way" to perfection--and beyond! His genius really shows on this track. "I'd Really Love to See You Tonight" brings back good memories from when this was first released; England Dan & John Ford Coley do this one up right! In addition, Harry Nilsson's "Without You" shines brighter than silver and gold when he delivers this with so much emotion that I'm amazed. "Reunited" by Peaches & Herb is another stand-out; and listen for ABBA to do their hit entitled "Fernando." "Fernando" features ABBA doing some of their best work. Great!

Air Supply's "All Out of Love" is certainly quite beautiful; it's very pretty and easy on the ear, too. "Endless Love" will always remain a classic by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie; they sing so well together! The Moody Blues do "Nights in White Satin" with style and a lot of grace; and the second CD ends quite nicely with Rod Stewart performing "Reason to Believe."

One and Only Love Album is a two CD set that has nothing but incredibly fine, timeless love songs that are perfect for some special time all alone with your sweetheart. I highly recommend this set for anyone who enjoys classic love songs.

great cd if you like the 80's love songs, brings back alot of good memories. i always listen to it in my car driving to work or just because. i recommend it to friends:)

Arrived timely enough, but there are a lot of dead spots on each cd. Disappointing also is the quality of the sound.

This is a good collection of Love Songs. I listen to this CD when I travel. It's for anyone who loves 70's and 80's music. Elton John's "Your Song" is one of my all time favorites. I rediscovered alot of songs I had forgotten. Well worth the money.

Love listening to this cd...brings back a lot of old memories. I loved every song in both albums.

These are a couple of good cds. In fact one of the songs is stuck in my head right now. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for I wanted songs from the 70's, not necessarily love songs. But it appears Time Life has that market cornered because I couldn't find anything that really came close. But for love songs from then, this is great.

I play this CD on my way home from work and it is very relaxing. Every song on the CD brings back good memories.

My friend got this cd for my birthday and it works great! All the ladies that hear these soothing love songs totally dig it... and then they dig me. Even though this is a 2 cd set, the music usually runs out before we're done. I with they had a volume 2 or something.

Thanks, JenH.
