Included are the classic party cuts "If I Had No Loot," "The Blues," and "Feels Good." Songs like "Let's Get Down" and "My Ex-Girlfiend" demonstrate the group's seamless appropriation of hip-hop. Also included is the trio's most identifiable track, "It Never Rains (In Southern California)." No Tony Toni Tone hits package would be complete without the million-dollar ballads, songs like "Anniversary" and "What Ever You Want," which served as the sonic backdrops for countless bedroom rendezvous throughout the late '80s and early '90s.

Editorial Reviews
...Their blend of contemporary grooves and retro-vintage soul paved the way for soul stirrers like D'Angelo and Maxwell....TTT pays homage to everyone from Sly Stone to Al Green, yet they imbue their sunshiny funk with a distinctive whimsy... - Rating: A-
