"Klyamxx's Greatest Hits was just what the doctor ordered, being that I had destroyed mostly all of my old 'maxx cassettes! Klymaxx, as many of us 80s children remembered, were the forerunners in all-girl groups who spoke freely about self-affirmation and confidence--I called them the female version of "The Time". Klymaxx had tons of attitude, compliments of Bernadette Cooper, and a wide cross-over appeal as evidenced in songs like "Men All Pause", "Meeting in the Ladies Room", "I Miss You", "Mansize Love", "Divas Need Love Too" and "I'd Still Say Yes". Klymaxx's Greatest Hits even has the quirky single "I Look Good" taken from Cooper's solo album, "Drama According to Bernadette Cooper"--consequently it did have moderate airplay and breached the top 20 R&B charts--which argumentatively constitutes it as a hit. ***And to the reviewer who said that he/she couldn't believe Klymaxx was a real group based on a parody of them on SNL, you're obviously one of those Generation X'ers that listens to mindless rap and this new popcorn R&B music that's taken over. Let's see if 20 years from now you can call them classics!!!
Open your mind...not your mouth!!!!!!"
THA KLYMAXX !

"This was one of the best girl groups ever. It's really too bad
that they no longer perform. If you feel like dancing, listen to "Meeting In the Ladies Room". You can't help moving to the rhythm while you sing along.
"I Miss You" which was also one of their best love songs is included in this collection."
