4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better........., March 7, 2000

By	The Fancy One "blackprincess" (Westchester County, NY) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

I've been a fan of Eddie's for years. I felt that this package did not do him justice. I'm not disputing the choice of material on this CD, it's just that Eddie had such a cache of material during his Motown tenure that I was truly surprized that more wasn't included. What happened to "Son Of Sagittarius", "Eddie's Love", "The Thin Man", "One Tear" and all those other tunes that deserved to appear on a collection such as this? It's truly not fair. It's bad enough that Motown/Universal won't re-release his most popular albums. I gave it four stars because it included my favorite EJK song, "Girl You Need A Change of Mind" in its entirety and because to this day I still love the man. Motown, show Eddie's fans some respect and at least release some of his albums on CD, like PEOPLE...HOLD ON or EDDIE KENDRICKS!

5.0 out of 5 stars Proof positive why there'll never be another MOTOWN!, June 21, 2004

By	Reginald D. Garrard "the G-man" (Camilla, GA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

Cut #2 ("If You Let Me") was covered by no less than three Motown acts: The Four Tops, The Temptations, and Kendricks, each bringing their/his own distinction to the Frank Wilson song. By having different artists in its stable perform the same song, Motown further solidified its stature as a one-of-a-kind company.

Now, to the entire album at hand, "The Ultimate Collection" showcases some of the best of the late talent. While many remember his brilliant falsetto on many of The Temptations' classic tunes, Kendricks scored with two top ten tunes on the pop charts ("Keep on Truckin'" and "Boogie Down") along with the number one R & B smash "Shoeshine Boy".

Besides the familiar three, there are other outstanding cuts, chief among those are the passionate and revealing "This Used to Be the Home of Johnnie Mae", the highly spiritual "He's a Friend", the evocative "Intimate Friends", and the many-contoured "Can I".

Kendricks may be physically gone but his spirit lives on in this fine tribute to his skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eddie Kendricks (Ultimate Collection), December 18, 2001

By	"msrockafella" (Englewood, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ultimate Collection (Audio CD)

I am completely blown away with Eddie's smooth vocals. I promise you will not be disappointed with this collection of the late Kendricks hits. I give it 10 stars++. I am not just saying this because I am his biggest fan. I grew listening to the 70' and 80's sound. I love the Tempatations by somehow Eddie and David Ruffin always stood out.

I highly recommend these favorites:

*He's A Friend /*Intimate Friend /*Goin Up In Smoke / *Girl You Need A Change Of Mind / Tell Her Love Has Felt The Need / Get The Cream Off The Top /*Keep On Truckin / Boogie Down / Darlin Come Back Home / Shoeshine Boy.

Listening to this album is so relaxing it takes you to another time and place while you forget about your troubles and once you forgotten about your troubles you can dance the night away!

I send this album out as gifts to people I know who can use a little inspiration. I heard nothing but rave reviews. Now I will have to order more.
