Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Lionel's decision to release a second hits compilation within a decade may have had something to do with the fact that sales of the first were overshadowed by a spousal abuse charge; unsurprisingly then, there isn't too much to distinguish this from the other one. Certain critics have commended Lionel for having spurned the whims of fashion and persisted with sentimental love songs like "Say You Say Me" and "Penny Lover", whatever the weather, and, listening to the tacky 1980s synths of the more upbeat "Running With The Night", it's hard to disagree. Lionel's obviously at his most comfortable with the power ballad--so much so that he has no idea when to exercise a little restraint. For all its baggage--the sickly video with that blind girl and its terrible lyrics--there's the chord structure to a good Charles Aznavour song trying to get out of "Hello", but it's drowning in syrup. Perhaps it's time for a reunion of the old band: the inclusion of "Sail On", "Three Times A Lady" and "Easy" (all Commodores songs) suggests as much. --Peter Paphides

5.0 out of 5 stars Eassssy, 17 Jun 2004
By V. Ryan (London Uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Back To Front (Audio CD)
There is no denying that Lionel Richie is a superstar in the soul music genre.
A lot of soul fans will disagree with this statement as Richie has become very middle of the road with his more recent music. Even some of the songs on this set will have soul boys turning up there noses.

"Back To Front" has tracks on it which will be forever marked as "Classic". Some of the tracks are no doubt on the slushy side. "Hello" the most notable one with the annoying video. But its vintage Richie. Its beautiful, corny and beautiful again.
"My Destiny" is another classic. Its of course catchy but one which showcases the voice that he possess.
"All Night Long" again is classic and one of the many many Richie songs that gets so much radio play. Everyone knows this song. Its typical accessable Lionel Richie - a song for all.
"Easy" is perhaps the best ever song written by the man. Sung while still with the Commadores, "Easy" is a track you can't hate.

Ballads have always been his forte. And all the classics are here in the bucket loads.
One of the best duets of all time, "Endless Love" with Diana Ross is here, with the heart wrenching "Stuck On You" the soulful "Penny Lover and the anthem "Say You Say Me".
Its all here on this excellent and now so cheap history of a superstar - Lionel Richie.

His music may not be "black" enough for some, and yes true he does attract a more middle of the road radio 2 listener - but that doesn't detract from the fact that Lionel Richie has had hit after hit and has made classic after classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lional Ritchies at his best, 25 Oct 2002
This review is from: Back To Front (Audio CD)
You either like Lional Ritchie or you don't. However, this album is one that will delight his fans and will probably gain him a few more after listening to it. The album features Still, three times a lady and Hello as well as more up tempo numbers such as all night long. This is definately a gift item for mum and dads
friends and lovers. Guaranteed sing alongability

5.0 out of 5 stars classic., 15 Nov 2000
This review is from: Back To Front (Audio CD)
Without fear of exaggeration, I reckon this is undoubtedly a classic, and how anyone can say otherwise is beyond me. I don't know anyone who doesn't love at least one Lionel song, and if they listen to this, they'd love a lot more. "One More Time," "My Destiny," "All Night Long," "Hello" and "Stuck On You" are some of the truly great songs of our generation. Sure, its a little syrupy and romantic at times, but the sheer quality of the songwriting jumps out at you. Possibly an album responsible for more marriages than any other, and one of those that quite simply, everyone should own.
