1	The Definitive Collection (2003) more music like this by Lionel Richie It's hard to believe, but prior to the 2003 release of The Definitive Collection, there wasn't a proper hits collection in Lionel Richie's catalog. A decade earlier, Motown dipped their toe in the water with the jumbled Back to Front, which tried desperately to camouflage its nature as a comp with three new songs, which, at 14 tracks, hurt the hit ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $9.92!
2	Truly: The Love Songs (1997) more music like this by Lionel Richie see all copies from $2.98! new only from $10.96!

4	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Commodores (1999) more music like this by The Commodores The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Commodores collects 11 of their Motown hits, including their first hit, the instrumental "Machine Gun," as well as classics like "Brick House," "Three Times a Lady," "Easy," and "Nightshift." A concise journey through the group's brand of Southern funk and romantic ballads. Heather Phares, All Music ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $4.24!
5	Body + Soul: Sweet Seduction (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Body & Soul: Sweet Seduction isn't much different from the other volumes in Time/Life's Body & Soul series: It's a collection of smooth, romantic soul and urban contemporary from the '70s and '80s. But even if there isn't much rhyme or reason as to which songs were chosen for which volumes, this is still a pretty strong double-disc set. It's ... see all copies from $3.58! new only from $17.24!
6	The Ultimate Collection (1997) more music like this by The Commodores Widely acknowledged as the top band during their tenure at Motown, the Commodores were one of the bands that kept Berry Gordy's mythical hit machine on top of the commercial R&B game. Especially during a tumultuous period in Motown's history, where artists were changing creative direction (much to Gordy's chagrin) and others were fleeing for other ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
7	Soul Classics: Best of the 70's (1998) more music like this by Various Artists All the songs on this set are from the '70s,which is a big improvement from Rebound's 60's collection, which contained two songs from the '50s. These selections run the gamut, everything from Marvin Gaye's ecology warning "Mercy, Mercy Me," to Parliarment's relentless "Up for the Downstroke," where the bass player rides the beat into the sunset. ... see all copies from $2.62! new only from $3.28!
8	The Very Best of the Commodores [Motown] (1995) more music like this by The Commodores For a spell during the '80s, it seemed like many forgot that Lionel Richie wasn't always a solo artist, but began as a member of the Commodores. The group of six Alabama college chums would go on to become one of the world's leading funk and R&B artists of the '70s, and their penchant for heartwarming ballads only broadened their fan base. With ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $8.37!
9	Gold (2006) more music like this by Lionel Richie/Commodores It's inarguable that Lionel Richie's presence in the Commodores was the lifeblood of their creative and commercial success during their prime years. Not only the group's unofficial captain, he was also one of the most successful producers and songwriters for Motown during their second golden age. The proof is certainly more than one disc would ... see all copies from $16.72! new only from $16.72!
10	The Definitive Collection [Australia 2 CD] (2004) more music like this by Lionel Richie & the Commodores It's hard to believe, but prior to the 2003 release of The Definitive Collection, there wasn't a proper hits collection in Lionel Richie's catalog. A decade earlier, Motown dipped their toe in the water with the jumbled Back to Front, which tried desperately to camouflage its nature as a comp with three new songs, which, at 14 tracks, hurt the hit ... see all copies from $26.46! new only from $26.46!

12 view cover	Commodores Live! [Remastered] (2002) more music like this by The Commodores Hot on the heels of their 1977 self-titled LP -- which included studio versions of the classics "Brick House" and "Easy" -- Commodores Live! was issued as a seasonal offering the same year. The band wisely included extended readings of not only its most recent hits, but also a healthy sampling from its previous four studio albums, as well as the ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!
13	Classic Soul Ballads [Time Life Box Set] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $103.20! new only from $103.20!
14 view cover	Greatest Hits (1978) more music like this by The Commodores A very representative anthology gathering The Commodores' prime up-tempo and ballad material. It shows that they were quite versatile in their heyday, capable of being humorous or romantic with equal ease. They never topped "Brick House" for explosiveness, while "Easy" was arguably their finest slow song. The Commodores dominated the R&B charts in ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $15.00!
15 view cover	Midnight Soul: Late Night Love (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Nobody could make a case for Midnight Soul: Late Night Love containing music that's anything less than stunning. However, condensing the Commodores, the Whispers, the Delfonics, the O'Jays, Maze, and Earth, Wind & Fire onto one disc does everyone a disservice. Only the most casual of casual soul fans will be fulfilled by this compilation, which ... see all copies from $7.85! new only from $14.84!
16 view cover	Gold [UK Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this by The Commodores see all copies from $9.98! new only from $9.98!
17 view cover	Commodores Live! (1977) more music like this by The Commodores Hot on the heels of their 1977 self-titled LP -- which included studio versions of the classics "Brick House" and "Easy" -- Commodores Live! was issued as a seasonal offering the same year. The band wisely included extended readings of not only its most recent hits, but also a healthy sampling from its previous four studio albums, as well as the ... see all copies from $11.86!
18 view cover	Hot on the Tracks (1976) more music like this by The Commodores 1976's Hot on the Tracks was the Commodores' fourth album, and it was also the last album they recorded before becoming a major crossover act. From 1977 on, the Commodores were as big among pop and adult contemporary audiences as they were with R&B audiences. That isn't to say that pop fans ignored them before 1977; "Just to Be Close to You," the ... see all copies from $8.97!
19 view cover	The Composer: Great Loves Songs With the Commodores and Diana Ross (1985) more music like this by Lionel Richie If you enjoyed the run of sentimental weepers that Lionel Richie made famous in the '70s and early '80s, they're all here on this anthology. "Easy" and "Zoom" weren't bad slow tunes, but then Richie began to overdo the maudlin lyrics and the results became predictable and pretentious, although he certainly didn't have any problems landing chart ... see all copies from $1.99!
20 view cover	Between the Sheets, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Sony's first installment in its budget-priced Between the Sheets series collects ten sexy R&B/soul numbers from giants of the genre like the O'Jays ("Let Me Make Love to You"), Luther Vandross ("There's Nothing Better Than Love"), and, of course, the Isley Brothers, who provide the compilation's namesake. Comprised of primarily late-'70s and early ... see all copies from $5.27! new only from $5.27!
21 view cover	The Commodores Hits, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this by The Commodores Commodores Hits, Vol. 1 is a budget-priced collection of some of the soul group's biggest hits. Neither the presentation nor the sound is impressive -- it can even border on horrible, in fact -- making the Motown collections preferable. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
22 view cover	Heart of Soul Classics (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Heart of Soul Classics spotlights romantic, vintage R&B from Jeffrey Osborne, Stephanie Mills, Billy Preston & Syreeta, and other soul artists from the '70s and '80s. The Four Tops' "I Believe in You and Me," Kool & the Gang's "Cherish," Barry White's "You Turned My Whole World Around," and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" are among the time-tested ... see all copies from $8.78! new only from $8.78!
