Pure Vocal Genius

"A classic collection of SWEET SOUL from an underrated genius. The first five tracks are R&B classics from the late 70's & early 80's... who can forget the smooth passion of "I'm So Into You" or the joyful, celebratory "Reaching For the Sky" ? And what about that souful "quiet storm" classic, "Let The Feeling Flow" ?Often compared to Luther and Jeffrey Osborne, Peabo Bryson posseses a vocal talent capable of more RANGE & SUBTLETY than either of those more well-known artists. And he's no slouch as a composer either; the first five tracks on this collection are credited to him as a writer.The rest of the CD is ok; a few well-known duets with frequent co-colaborator Roberta Flack, and a passable cover version of Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love."Of the three Peabo Bryson hits compilations, this CD is the best for me. But those seeking his more recent '90s material (duets, movie theme to "Aladdin" etc...) should try his "Super Hits" collection. "Anthology" is a nice retrospective of his early work... but with TWO CDs worth of material it might seem excessive to some casual fans. For me at least, "Collection" is the BEST Peabo Bryson collection"
