"As a big fan of 80s R&B supergroup STARPOINT, it was very frustating to have most of their classic 80s albums OOP on CD for years, what with their 1985 smash RESTLESS selling for upwards of $80-100 on ebay...well, now the folks at RHINO aka FLASHBACK have seen fit to compile ALL of Starpoint's most-loved hits and key LP cuts on one CD - and all for around $5 bucks! Really, this is all you'll ever need - all the cuts you loved "back in the day" are present and accounted for: especially OBJECT OF MY DESIRE, WHAT YOU BEEN MISSIN, RESTLESS, HE WANTS MY BODY, and more - get it now! Sure it would be nice to have the original LPs on CD for posterity, but this'll have to do until then. Nice stuff. RIP Renee Diggs, you will be missed!"

"Starpoint was one of my favorite groups from the '80's. When I first heard, "Until The End of Time" I stopped in my tracks. Renee Diggs was so talented. She was just beginning to shine when she passed away. Fortunately, she left us with beautiful music to be enjoyed for generations to come. RIP."
Starpoint - Object of My Desire and Other Hits

"I'm so happy to have this CD. As an 80's kid, I loved many R&B musical bands and Starpoint was one of the hot R&B musical bands of this decade. It saddens me that in today's musical environment there aren't many R&B musical bands together and actively recording (e.g. Mint Condition, Kool & The Gang, and Earth, Wind & Fire).
After recently recylcing my Starpoint cassettes (covering their first 4 albums), I was elated to find this compilation CD because I cannot find their 4 albums (as CDs) anywhere in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Thank you amazon.com for making my continued listening to Starpoint's music possible."
A CD that I have been looking for a long time

"Like many, I am a fan of Starpoint since their 1985 album "Restless," but I was always frustrated that I could not find any of their CD's since their music was out of print. This dollar-cheap compilation is excellent as it comprises most of their easily recognizable songs (He Wants My Body, Restless, Object of My Desire, The More We Love and Till the End of Time). The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the CD is too short (only 10 songs) and therefore they omitted some memorable songs (I would have loved to see "Wanting You" included).
Anyway, listening to lead singer, Renee Diggs, with her dynamic and full-bodied vocals, is always a great experience. The keyboards and guitar riffs deserve close attention also. It's a pity that Renee's and Ernesto Phillips' early deaths prevent any further music from this group that had real talent and potential. Check out some of their videos on YouTube."
