Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars The best from an often-overlooked figure of '80s R&B........2006-02-02

Lillo Thomas never received the kind of mainstream success he richly deserved. His smooth and evocative singing style and phrasing bear strong resemblances to both Smokey Robinson and Eddie Kendricks. If you are a fan of 1980s R&B you really should buy this compilation if you can find it.

4 out of 5 stars Smooth Singer.......2005-05-09

i use to listen to Lillo Thomas back in the day&He worked with the same Producer that Freddie Jackson did."Sexy Girl" was the cut. there are some smooth cuts here&there.He is a Cat that is kinda forgotten.very talented Artist.

5 out of 5 stars missing his best cut.......2003-06-01

This collection is missing his best slow jam ever "Show Me". Otherwise it is the perfect collection . If you like the production sounds of Kashif, Paul Laurence, and Timmy Allen, then you absolutely have to add this to your collection. Lillo is a good singing talent. It's too bad the record industry is too focused on signing and promoting young boy band groups and doesn't put out quality anymore.

5 out of 5 stars Pure listening pleasure.......1998-11-30

Like Freddy Jackson and Paul Laurence, Lillo Thomas emerged in the early '80's with a distinct vocal style. Steeped in R & B tradition, this album pulls together some of Lillo more popular works and is a must buy for all soul fans. Lillo had an illustrious career spanning 10 years with such hits as Sweet Surrender, Down Town, Who Do Think You Are? Settle Down and many others. Lillo also participated in several collaborations with established artists like Melba Moore and Freddy Jackson. He collaborated with his erstwhile producer and friend Paul Laurence over several albums with Paul himself featuring both Lillo and Freddy on his album "Underexposed."
