Customer Reviews
brilliant album
Saw Kenny Thomas last night in Stoke on Trent. What an amazing voice this guy has - couldn't believe I was actually seeing him live. I've enjoyed Kenny's music for the last 20+ years and to see him singing my favourite songs was amazing. Love his new tracks and bought the album last night - hope he get back to where he belongs top of the charts !
Brilliant
This album shows what a great talent Kenny is... He should still be out there making records.. why isnt he?
What KT did.
This Best Of compilation serves as a timely reminder to fans of why Kenny was such a musical force and gives non-devotees a chance to sample his gloriously soulful vocal talents.
Of the 16 tracks here only 11 sound the same and KT still manages to infuse each one with passion, wit and meaning ( and dare I suggest magic as well? ) He is by turns smooth balladeer, playful seducter and even raucous groove-meister.
"Tender Love" sees our Kenny at his most visionary. I wonder just how many couples have fallen in or out of love to this haunting number? I'm sure I'm not the only one for whom this song holds precious memories. Kenny's touching delivery will always remind me of that special weekend in Runcorn.
In the hands of a lesser talent ( Michael Bolton, Marvin Gaye etc ) "Trippin' on your love" could be bland and forgettable drivel but Kenny lifts the song (and our spirits) with his stirring performance. As my parents generation used to say he truly does have "the groove" going on.
KT answers any suggestion that his sound is nothing more than watered down imagination-free pap with the sublime "Stay", the delightful "Best of You" and the club party within a song that is "De Grooveski".
All this plus the opening track- "Outstanding"- the hit that first brought KT to the attention of a grateful public. How many superlatives can be hurled at this great number? Any description I could think of would barely do it justice - suffice it to say it simply remains the glittering crown in Kenny's family jewels, the creme de menthe of his blistering career.
I urge everyone to buy this CD or one quite like it. Let's hope "Best Of" returns Kenny Thomas to the forefront of pop/soul/disco/karaoke - where he rightly belongs.
