 oranjuice jones and music from 86 August 25, 2007
since this was the year i graduated from high school i was curious to remember the big radio hits that year. i mainly got this compilation because i was impressed RFTW Love You Down was on it, followed by Do Me Baby by Melissa Morgan and Rain by Juice Jones. All in all it doesn't represent the 1986 i remember, but it was part of it.
I bought it for 3 songs August 23, 2005
It's pretty good. I specifically bought it for only 3 songs - 'Rumors,' 'I can't wait,' and 'The rain.' The whole CD could've used a lot more bass in the recording. I don't know if that's a manufacturing thing or what. But I'm a "basshead" too. I have to have the beats!
Great songs August 3, 2005
These are some great songs on this CD. The 80's were great and this CD takes me back.
Good, if slim, compilation of 80's R&B March 9, 2005

I also provided a review for the 1985 CD in this series put out by Rhino back in 1995. As with that one, this CD contains some good R&B tunes from 1986. However, as is the problem with most Rhino releases, it only contains 10 tracks. They could have certainly included a few more tracks to beef it up a little. The versions here are all original recordings by the original artists. This CD is superior to the 1985 edition in that 9 of the 10 songs went to #1 on the Billboard R&B chart in 1986. Two gripes I have:
#1 The inclusion of "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott which seems to be on every 80's compilation CD that I own. I must have this song on 20 different CD's. If anything, why not include his other hit, "I Got the Feelin'(It's Over)".
#2 The inclusion of Nu Shooz "I Can't Wait". Yes, I know, it did hit the R&B chart. But to me, it is more of an example of 80's New Wave Dance Music than 80's R&B. There are many, many other obscure 80's R&B songs out there that I wish would have been represented here.
Other than the slim amount of music provided, it is a good CD and the songs here are good.
