"This album deserves 5 stars and more. This is one of the greatest hits cds I have ever heard. This album contains every hit Confunkshun had made. It contains all of my favorite songs by them. Every single song on here is solid. Alot of these songs are so good and a lot of songs on here I heard for the first time when I bought this cd. I'm Juicy, California 1, Ms. Got the body, Let me put love on your mind a very beautiful love ballad I don't know why I never heard this song on the radio this is a beautiful love ballad. It contains some of my favorites "I'm leaving baby and hooked right into your love, Love's from the train. This album contains so many good songs. I didn't know that they had sung so many beautiful love songs. I love this whole album it is great and I would recommend anyone who likes Confunkshun check out some of Michael Cooper's solo work; Songs such as Shoop! Shoop! never stop giving good love, Prove my love to you, and dinner for two these are some nice solid songs by Michael. THIS IS A GREAT ALBUM IT IS A MUST-HAVE FOR ANY CONFUNKSHUN FAN!!!!!!"

"The first ever greatest hits package from one of the best and most underrated R&B groups ever. Hailing from Vallejo, California, the seven man band known as Con Funk Shun racked up an impressive run of R&B hits during the late 70's and early 80's, yet for some reason have not been accorded the kind of acclaim and record sales of their contemporaries like Earth Wind & Fire, or The Isley Brothers. Their biggest hits "Ffun", "Too Tight", and "Shake And Dance With Me" are included here, as well as great album cuts like "Love's Train" and "California 1". Creative differences and record company pressure to be more like their label mates Kool & The Gang, caused Con Funk Shun to split in the mid 80's, but fortunately a resurgence in popularity of their music has brought them back together. Currently commercials for the new Nicolas Cage/Angelina Jolie movie "Gone In Sixty Seconds" use the groups' 1979 jam "Chase Me". Blistering funk and beautiful ballads with their own unique touch is what makes Con Funk Shun great. I urge anyone who reads this to pick this package up. It will become an essential part of your life."

"ConFunkShun is truly a talented band. Up-tempo funky dance tunes (FFUN, Shake and Dance with me), power ballads (Let me put love on your mind, Straight from the Heart), mellow tunes (BY Your Side, California 1). Everything you need. I recommend this CD! But it!"
