Ronnie Milsap ruled the country charts in the '70's and '80s, thanks to a soulful style and modern approach, which also admitted him to the pop world. 40 #1 HITS documents Milsap's staggering track record in a two CD digitally remastered set. The hits are arranged chronologically, showing Milsap's musical evolution.
Disc One collects his early, traditional material; gems here include "Daydreams About Night Things," "Only One Love in My Life" and Milsap's first pop success, "It Was Almost Like a Song." Milsap's style soon metamorphosed into a mix of R&B, country, and pop, represented here by the crossover trifecta of "There's No Getting Over Me," "I Wouldn't Have Missed it For the World" and "Any Day Now." Disc Two collects the string of Mike Reid-penned Milsap hits, including "Stranger in My House" (the only non-Number One hit here), "She Keeps the Home Fires Burning," and "How Do I Turn You On." Also featured are the doo-wop tribute, "Lost in the Fifties Tonight," and Milsap's duet with Kenny Rogers, "Make No Mistake She's Mine." Two great new tracks--"Time, Love & Money" and "Livin' On Love"--round out this excellent collection, a must for any Ronnie Milsap fan. minimize
