Greatest Hits

From the early days in the seventies as lead singer with Flyte Tyme, through the headiest days of his solo career in the eighties, Alexander O'Neal showed ceaseless ability and talent. This comprehensive Best Of collection includes the tracks famous for their synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines that were used on his Tabu/Epic albums of the '80s and early '90s, plus the best of his later R&B and soul-tinged material. But the standouts here are his finest uptempo and ballad singles, on such cuts as "Fake" and "Criticise", plus his range and passion on those such as "Never Knew Love Like This".
