Keith Sweat Live
At once a greatest-hits package and snapshot of a damn-near perfect concert captured at Washington, D.C.'s Constitution Hall, Keith Sweat'sLivehelps explain why the stylish, slick, exuberant R&B; singer-songwriter and producer has for years moved albums by the millions. His biggest hits are represented, including four from '87's chart-toppingMake It Last Foreverdisc: the title track, "I Want Her," "Something Just Ain't Right," and "Don't Stop Your Love." "Merry Go Round" and the title track from '90'sI'll Give All My Love to Youare also among the disc's 15 tracks. AndLivevisits Sweat's work withGerald LevertandJohnny GillinLSG; both stop by to guest on "My Body," whileAthena Cagecoos seductively through "Nobody." This is an album for lovers, and Sweat makes sure the point is made verbally during the concert, not that he really needs to. Heads up, hopeless romantics--your next purchase awaits you.--Kim Hughes
