Sicko? Maybe. R&B Legend? Definitely.

Maybe it's just contributing to the "Keep-R.-Kelly-Out-of-Jail" fund, but the R. in R&B Collection, Volume 1 is a must-have for anyone who's ever lived a memory to an R. Kelly song. And who hasn't danced to an R. Kelly song at a junior high dance or raised their voice at every party last spring when the remix to "Ignition" came on?\nThis album has all the R. Kelly originals like "Bump N' Grind" and "Down Low," just to name a few. \nThe amazing thing about the Chicago producer, writer and singer is the fact that he can come out with songs like "Bump N' Grind" and then turn around and sing the most heartfelt and encouraging of songs like "The World's Greatest." Who would ever imagine that the same guy who sang "Sex Me" in 1993 would go on to sing "I'm Your Angel" with Celine Dion in 1999? \nThe talent he exhibits gives him the bragging rights to walk the earth and say he is the R&B king of our generation. This album reminds us of why we fell in love with the sexy singer in the first place. He can make listeners feel hot, emotional, sad and religious all in one album.
