Various Artists - Ultimate Love Songs: Vision Of Love / Various (CD)

All Music Guide

Ideal for casual music fans who listen to lite FM stations and don't purchase many CDs, Time Life's Ultimate Love Songs: Visions of Love compilation contains 18 love sons, most of which are ballads. The range of artists is rather diverse, factoring ‘80s hardrock balladeers, country legends, ‘80s onehit pop wonders, contemporary RB, and adult contemporary. Some of the more notable selections include Willie Nelson's “Always on My Mind," Marvin Gaye's “Sexual Healing," Gregory Abbott's “Shake You Down," Harold Melvin the Blue Notes' “If You Don't Know Me by Now," and Luther Vandross' “Here and Now." Most of these songs have been included on dozens of other likethemed discs, but this is a quick way to swoop up a lot of major hits from the past few decades.
