Pebbles proved her herself capable and deserving of a lengthy
career in the Urban and Dance-Pop world. I feel like she gave up a bit too soon. Pebbles has a rare voice that very distingishable and enjoyable to hear. I can't wait for her to come back to recording! If Cher can come back about 10 times, Pebbles has the right to come back at least once! The grace, class, honestly, sophiscation, timeless, intelligence and lady-like attitude Pebbles exhibited is sorely missed by many! Nearly no Pop singer (in the U.S. that is) can come close to the charisma and natural charm she radiates. Pebbles never needed to look like a tramp and/or stray too far from the initial purpose music videos to get her point across. Thankfully, there are new, hard-working, no-nonsense Pop singers rising up such as Kimberly Locke, Anastacia, Dannii Minogue, Reina, Tina Ann, Fantasia, Samantha Mumba, Louise, Robyn and many more. So, there is a lot hope for her future. Not to mention, Pebbles helped pave the way for TLC (a group Pebbles created), Toni Braxton, Monica, Brandy, Faith Evans, Beyonce and other similar artists/singers. I give Pebbles the praise and the credit that is due to her. My favourite songs on this CD are the four #1 hits, the dynamic Dance-Pop songs "Girlfriend", "Giving You the Benefit", "Mercedes Boy" & the smooth Urban/Soul ballad "Love Makes Things Happen" feat. Babyface. My other favourites include her Top 40 R&B chart hit "Are You Ready?", the "That's the Way Love Goes" from Janet like "It's Alright", the would have been Adult Contemporary crossover smash hit, the low-key, slightly haunting ballad, "Angel" written by Pebbles herself among others! If you are looking for honest, straight-up, high quality Pop music, I highly recommend all of Pebbles' releases. Much thanks to her main producers Babyface, Andre Cymone and Pebbles ex-husband, L.A. Reid for bringing this fabulous lady of song to us! I hope to the heavens she records again! I also recommend music from Paula Abdul, Jody Watley, Cynthia, Karyn White, Lil' Suzy, and Laura Branigan.

5.0 out of 5 stars old fan pleased, January 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Pebbles - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

I am most likely biased since I was always a fan of Mercedes Boy as a 12yr old. I bought that single and thought she was supercool cuz she had unique style. Then Always came out and I became a Pebbles fan for life, the album is great only two songs leave a little to be desired "Say a prayer, give it to me,". It truly showcased her as an artist/producer/writer and vocal ability. This GH takes from it except some great songs like my personal fav Stay with Me, which features a guitar solo by Babyface and her future jazzy nature on her 3rd album Straight from the heart. I suspect a 2nd collection will come out with the other songs because so many are missing like "Slip Away, and the Remixes of her super singles??? But the GH gives you all of her versatility, 80s funk, 90s dance, ballads and jazz, anyone who appreciates music without over the top R & B voices will love this album, just let it play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of hits!, December 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Pebbles - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Wow, this is a great collection of Pebbles' hits. I stumbled across her Greatest Hits in the record store and knew I had to buy it since I loved her album Straight From My Heart. I enjoy this CD very much and it's the kind of CD you can listen over and over again and never get tired of. It includes all her most popular hits. However, I think there were a few good songs left out here such as: "You," "My Baby Love," "Still On My Mind," and "One More Try." Nonetheless, it's still a great album. Best tracks are: "Always," "Give Me Your Love," "It's Alright," "Angel," and "Why Do I Believe." All of the songs on here are very old ones but still sound great as they did when they were new. This would make a wonderful addition to anyone's music/CD collection. A very pleasing little disc of classic memorable hits from Pebbles, the artist who inspired and helped many other artists get started like TLC and Toni Braxton.
