Edition features the previously unreleased track "If Ever."
Collecting some of the most remarkable R&B released by any artist in the second half of the 20th century, let alone some of the greatest pop ballads, this down-tempo set concentrates chiefly on Stevie Wonder's early-'70s albums, including the heartfelt "Never Dreamed You'd Leave," from 1971's innovative WHERE I'M COMING FROM, the shimmering keyboards of the classic "You Are the Sunshine of My Life," from TALKING BOOK, and INNERVISIONS' "All in Love Is Fair."
The U.K. disc Ballad Collection contains 17 ballads, largely from Stevie Wonder's '70s peak, but also containing a fair amount of songs cut in the '80s, including such soundtrack-only oddities as "Kiss Lonely Good-Bye" (from Pinnochio) and "Stay Gold" (from The Outsiders). Wonder, of course, had a lot of hits with ballads, but this shouldn't be taken as a hits collection, and while many of these songs are excellent, there are so many album tracks that it's hard not to look at the collection and wonder why personal favorite ballads are missing. Nevertheless, as a sampler it's enjoyable and it does unearth a couple of fairly hard-to-find cuts, so it's worthwhile for the casual fan while providing some nice bait for collectors. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Includes 'My Cherie Amour', 'You Are The Sunshine Of My Life', 'You And I', 'Stay Gold' and 'Overjoyed'. 1999 release. Universal. 1999.

| | DJ Screw Legend CDs (2001)
Ballad Collection
$15.05
After spending most of the 1990s as an infamous local phenomenon in Houston, TX, DJ Screw suddenly found himself gaining sudden notoriety before his unfortunate death in late 2000. The Houston DJ made a name for himself primarily because of his uncanny mixing style, which found him pitching down his records to a lumbering and quite eerie pace. Over the course of the '90s, what began as novelty actually became a rather lucrative venture for Screw, who produced hundreds of mix tapes, with some estimates projecting his total number of tapes topping over a thousand; furthermore, he sold the tapes at his Houston-based record store, Screwed Up Records and Tapes. Oddly enough, he preferred to release his mixes almost exclusively on cassette, though fans often recorded the mixes and traded them via the Internet; in addition, countless "screwed" remixes of popular rap anthems were widely available on Napster thanks to his cultish following.Yet it's hard to imagine Screw's legacy being what it is if not for his role as an adamant advocate of "syrup sippin'," a Southern rap phenomenon involving codeine-infused cough syrup -- the resulting intoxication induces a hallucinatory state where everything slows down and becomes the senses swirl. As marijuana was to early-'90s gangsta rap, LSD was to late-'60s psychedelic rock, ecstasy was to late-'80s rave -- and so on -- the syrup sippin' advocated by Screw's trippy hip-hop mixes led to a small drug movement within the late-'90s Dirty South genre, reaching its zenith with Three 6 Mafia's hit "Sippin' on Some Syrup" in 2000. It's hard to deny ...
