This short set is from her latter period, reflecting such triumphs as "On My Own," her duet with Doobie Brother Michael McDonald that was a No. 1 pop hit, and the touchingly compassionate "Oh People."

This set is not quite the equal of 1996's Greatest Hits, but it has a lot to recommend it nonetheless. --Daniel Durchholz Product Description The gifted singer who scored early hits in the mold of Motown's girl groups of the '60's, struck chart gold as a disco star in the '70's and achieved full fledged stardom in the '80's with several pop crossover hits ("New Attitude" included here).
