Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful but not "Ultimate" collection........2006-11-17

Brenda Russell is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter who has never received the mainstream recognition she deserves. This near-perfect anthology of her work spans her entire career but should have included her 1990 hit "Stop Running Away"--a great song in its own right. That aside, however, this is Ms. Russell's best comilation to date and offers an excellent overview of her work. If you like soul-stirring music that will nourish your heart, soul and spirit...this CD is a must.

5 out of 5 stars Fletcher's Picks.......2006-01-31

Brenda. I've always loved her music. If Luther covered it, it had to be a work of art.

2 out of 5 stars Wish I didn't........2004-12-24

I originally bought this album for Piano in the Dark & Get Here. But I truely wish that I hadn't. Apparently there is another artist that sings her songs better than she does. I think that woman's name is Oleta Adams... not sure. Either that or they just used all old tracks for this CD-- no upgrades. I have heard awesome versions of those 2 songs but those versions are not featured on this CD. I wish that the music samples were a little longer so that perhaps I would have known this sooner.

4 out of 5 stars Almost Ultimate, a little Incomplete!.......2001-08-13

If you are a great fan of Brenda Russell, then you will find this compilation noteworthy, but incomplete. The booklet with pictures is very informative and is an asset to the collection. The CD does have a very nice flow, which newcomers will enjoy getting to know. They will even recognize such songs as If Only For One Night (made famous by Luther Vandross), Get Here (made famous by Oleta Adams), and her own top 10 hit Piano In The Dark. All tracks were written by Brenda except for her smooth jazz hit with Michael Franks When I Give My Love To You. Rufus featuring Chaka Khan had a hit with Please Pardon Me (included her as a duet with her husband Brian) and Donna Summer had a hit with Dinner With Gershwin. She sings a funky tribute to Al Jarreau with Jarreau. Other great tracks are In The Thick Of It, Kiss Me In The Wind, Way Back When and her first chart hit So Good, So Right.

This collection includes a more cross section of material she has recorded over the years. Includes tracks from OOP LP's Word Called Love, Supersonic Lover, Love Life, Two Eyes and Soul Talkin'. Nothing from Paris Rain. It does not, however, include 3 important tracks. The singles Gravity & Stop Running Away and the B-side popular track Le Resteraunt (featuring David Sandborn).

Also check out her Greatest Hits Import!

5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent way to do a compilation.......2001-08-02

What a cool compilation. I loved the way the some of the songs sequed together without a break. It felt like I was listening to the artist's latest album instead of a greatest hits collection. Great liner notes and song selection.
