"It would be nice to get a complete greatest hits of hers but this is pretty close. I've said it before & I'll say it again,
this woman is very underrated. I don't know if it's because she always sang about taking someone else's man or if it's because most of her songs are slow but this woman should have got way more radio play then she did. She sings her heart out in songs like "You can be with the one you don't love", "From his woman to you", "Shackin' up", "So he's yours now", & many more. It is missing the original "Yes I'm ready" & "Oh how it hurts" but it is still classic soul at it's finest."

"LIKE LEROY HUTSON I HAVE MS. BARBARA ON ALBUM AS WELL. I AM AN OLD SCHOOL BUFF AND I'M TRYING TO GET ALL MY OLD SCHOOL ON CD. WITH THE RECENT PURCHASE OF BARBARA MASON AND LEROY HUTSON I CAN'T BE HAPPIER. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW MS. MASON IS THE WOMAN WHO SUNG THE ANSWERS TO MS. BETTY WRIGHT'S WOMAN TO WOMAN WHICH WAS FROM HIS WOMAN TO YOU. THIS IS A MUST HAVE CD, THE LADY TAKES YOU BACK TO THE OLD SCHOOL DAYS. WITH CUTS LIKE YES, I'M READY, BED AND BOARD AND GIVE ME YOUR LOVE.LET'S KEEP IT GOINGPEACE"

"Very disappointed as I particularly bought this CD for the song "Are You Ready". Instead of finding the original version, there is a long, tedious "New School" interpretation of the song. At least, the CD reviewer could have mentioned that in his or her review....then I would have chosed a CD with the original version and not have to look one more time for the song I love and remember."
