One of the most consistently enjoyable and successful of '80s dance-pop acts, Shalamar still sounds fabulous on this hour-plus set of classic singles. From the late-disco era "Take That to the Bank" and "Second Time Around" to the New Wave-like "Dead Giveaway,"Greatest Hitsis a stellar listen and a reminder of the days whenSolar Recordswas in the forefront of modern R&B.; Only the empty-caloriesMotownmedley "Uptown Festival" and themovietheme "Don't Get Stopped in Beverly Hills" slow the flow.--Rickey Wright
