Hit: 5 Stars
A great collection of songs by a great artist. It is so nice to see a greatest hits collection that features all the original full length album versions. I am a big music fan and I hate when greatest hits collections are released with the "watered down" radio versions. It would have been nice if Universal could have tracked down the 12" version of Brickhouse, But hey, I'm not complaining. The sound quality is fantastic as well.
Let's hope Universal releases more greatest hits packages with more full length album versions.
Free Music Review: Finally a collection with all the major hits
Hit: 5 Stars
Universal's recent "Gold" collection has been wonderful, providing artists like Olivia Newton-John, Donna Summer and Cher with the best US collections they have ever seen, the recent Lionel Richie/Commodores "Gold" provides no exception.
Unlike "Back To Front" and "The Definitive Collection", Gold provides some of Lionel's big hits that were inexplicitly missing before, such as "My Love" (top 5 hit), "Lady You Bring Me Up" (top 10), "Oh No" (top 5), "Love Will Conquer All" (top 10), "Don't Wanna Lose You" (top 10 AC hit and top 40 pop hit) and "Brick House", possibly Lionel's most famous composition. It's great to get the album versions of these songs.
There are a few missing hits, like "Just For You" and "Se La", but beggers can't be choosers. It would've been nice to have the huge Commodores hit "Nightshift" here as well, but since that song was after Lionel had left, the exclusion is understandable. All in all, this is finally the definitive Lionel hits collection
You can get this cd for only a couple bucks more than Back To Front and The Definitive Collection, and the few $$ more is totally worth it.

I'm definitely getting this double CD! All of Lionel Richie and the Commodores' hits are on here! And after seeing another review, full length songs,5, 6 to 7 minutes long in some cases, not the cut it down to 3:46 to 4 minutes on the single 79-minute CDs! I love longer songs and this collection proves that. Richie had a lot of hits from 1974-1982 with the Commodores and continued after 1982-1983 and afterwards with his solo career having over a dozen No. 1 hits. I thought the Commodores made some good albums after Lionel left, but not with the sales momentum as his. The Commodores were heavy on the funk with hits like Brickhouse, Machine Gun, Lady (You Bring Me Up) and others. The ballads like Still, Easy, Three Times and others are still classics. Lionel's own songs like All Night Long, Running With The Night, Dancing On the Ceiling, Say You Say Me, Penny Lover, Do It To Me the country flavored Stuck On You and others are still wonderful. I Still like Angel and that he had a hit with "Believe" hitmakers Mark Taylor and Brian Rawling after many hits with James Anthony Carmichael. I also liked his Don't Wanna Lose You with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. At one point in summer 1984, I heard no less than 3 Lionel Richie songs on the radio. I heard Stuck on You more than the others. That's how huge a pop star he was that year with the hits from late-'83's Can't Slow Down. He is such a master of well crafted love songs with pop edges. I liked his last album Just for You two years ago, so he's still doing it.
This collection fully covers his success as a pop star both solo and with a group. I hope he thinks about doing another album with the Commodores soon and making it funky!

What a great cd. Almost every song you could want is all in the one collection. I would have had a coniption if Brick House wasn't here. Thankfully it is, along with so many other cool songs, you almost forgot that these few guys had so many up their sleeves. My other favourites are Still, Stuck On You, My Destiny and Ballerina Girl. Lionels voice is still the standout, and to have had such longevity, he has to be as talented as his fans know he is. This is such a great cd. I recommend it so that you can have all these amazing songs together.
