5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate of all ultimate collection cds, December 29, 1999

Mr. Osborne is the best of all times. If you are a fan of him, this is a must cd. The only thing the cd lack is not enough songs. Because A&M doesn't want to print Don't Stop, Emotional, and One Love-One Dream albums, also Arista's Only Human album, people will miss out on more great songs this man has to offer. But it is still a great cd. Maybe they will come out with a volume 2, maybe. I sure hope they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best overall Jeffrey Osborne collection, February 19, 2004

As with all Greatest Hits collections, see which album has all the songs you want. For me, the Ultimate Collection had the most bang for the buck.

There are 2 other notable 'Greatest Hits' collections of Osborne's work: the "Love Songs" collection and the "Millenium Collection". The problem with the "Love Songs" collection is that not all of Jeffrey Osborne's work is ballads. He did do some mid and uptempo work as well that shouldn't be overlooked (Stay With Me Tonight, Plane Love, She's On the Left). As for the "Millenium Collection", that CD has far fewer tracks than this one: the "Ultimate Collection" is much better.

Osborne's voice is rich, and he was blessed with some great producers. I can't say enough about "You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)" and a great ballad with Joyce Kennedy, "The Last Time I Made Love".

Oh, Jeffrey, the memories! The first time I heard the smooth sounds of Jeffrey Osborne, I was attending a concert in 1983 (yikes!). I was instantly hooked. I must admit I have a penchant for the throaty, mellow tones of some of the older R&B artists. Jeffrey Osborne's sound is reminiscent of a finely aged bourbon -- soothing, sensual, and incredibly smooth. His ballads are just that - aching love songs, not an artist attempting to hold the note until you start looking for a truss. But the one song in this collection that made me an instant Osborne fan is "Stay With Me Tonight". A little faster paced than some of his larger hits, but one that will reach down in the pit of your stomach and make you feel...well..let's put it this way. Men, are you looking for an excellent make-out cd? Turn this track on and she'll be putty! This is one artist that deserves a very loud "Bravo!" Play it again, Jeffrey...
