Album Review
Containing 18 singles that topped the Black Singles/R&B chart during the '70s, this disc within Universal's attractive but cheaply packaged (if biodegradable) "Number 1's" series features a handful of songs that have appeared on countless sets -- such as Parliament's "Flash Light," Ohio Players' "Fire," the Brothers Johnson's "Strawberry Letter 23," and Diana Ross' "Love Hangover" -- along with others that have somehow not received nearly as much attention throughout the years -- such as Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" and (especially) the Pointer Sisters' "How Long (Betcha Got A Chick On The Side)." If you were to throw this very light package into a stiff wind, it would likely smack you in the face before you got a chance to say "float on." ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide
