2 out of 5 stars If you want to have a single "Greatest hits" of Laura Branigan, this one should not be the one to have   March 26, 2008
If you want a "Greatest hits" compilation of Laura Branigan, you should look somewhere else. This compilation lacks "All Night With Me"," Satisfaction", "Shattered Glass", "Moonlight on Water", "I Found Someone", "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", "Never in a million years", "Shadow of Love", and several more.

This compilation opted to add new tracks("Show Me Heaven", "Dim all The Lights"), which should not be qualified as her Best/Great hits, the compilation should have opted to add more hits from her career instead of something new and untested as "Best/Greatest" hits. May be the new songs could have been added as Bonus tacks at the end of the CD, but they were scattered in the middle of the other hits songs.

If you want to have a "Greatest hits" compilation, I recommend "Laura Branigan Platinum Collection" or "Very Best of Laura Branigan".




5 out of 5 stars The Best of Branigan   November 23, 2007
Yes, I have a few CD's of hers, but this one is my most favorite. What a voice this lovely lady has. You will enjoy this CD and will play it over and over many times. Thanks Laura for giving me enjoyable music... Rowdy Yates

5 out of 5 stars This Project Is Proof Why Laura Branigan Is My Favorite Secular Female Vocalist   March 28, 2007
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

From about '79 to '85, I've had a hit and miss exposure to secular music, mostly miss. As a result, I missed most of Branigan's career. The only songs I knew were hers was "Self Control" (and like a reviewer, I remember the controversy of the video, though I never saw it) and "Gloria". I really enjoyed both of those songs, which was why I listened to this project.

Actually, I like the fact that this collection ends with the two songs I know and love (unlike the Platinum Collection, which starts with them). I could have had the experience of being unimpressed with anything except those two songs, but if that was true I would not have given this five stars. Obviously, I learned that those two songs were just the tip of the iceberg.

Besides "Self Control" and "Gloria", I also enjoyed "Solitaire", "Ti Amo", "Spanish Eddie", and "The Lucky One." The song that blew me away lyrically was "How Can I Help You Say Goodbye?", an excellent tear-jerker dealing with the various types of separation we endure in life. (Pardon me as I wipe my eyes, just thinking about that song.)
