These recordings brought back pleasant memories of a Ronnie Milsap concert in Arkansas about 30 years ago. I like the pure sound of his voice and the lyrics of his songs. I wish he were still entertaining - much missed. Thankfully, we have his recordings to lift us up once again.

I purchased this cd in replacement to a greatest hits cassette tape my husband had from the 1980's which was completely worn from playing. Only knowing the music from that old tape, and liking those songs, I was not sure of how the other music would be and am very pleased that this entire cd has really good songs. I am very happy at my purchase of this cd of such great hits by Ronny Milsap.
This is a good compilation of Ronnie Milsap's hit making days, as it includes most of his hits while he was at RCA Records - however, the out of print '40 #1 Hits' has a better selection of songs, and it also has the hit 'Don't You Know How Much I Love You' (from 'Keyed Up') that this release doesn't have. Other hits missing are 'Old Folks' (duet with Mike Reid0, and 'Button Off Of My Shirt' (from 'Heart And Soul'), 'All Is Fair In Love And War', and 'Turn That Radio On' (from 'Back In The Grindstone), 'She Loves My Car' (from 'One More Try For Love'), and 'L.A. To The Moon' (from 'Greatest Hits, Vol. 3') Also, be sure not to get this release confused with the 20 track 1995 release also called 'The Essential Ronnie Milsap' that is now out of print. Overall, a good retrospective of Ronnie's hit making days at RCA Records for a good price.Read full review

I love this album. A two disc greatest hits with 40 tracks. It can be a bit pricey so take your time on your searches. It has all his hits that you love "Pure Love" "I wouldn't have missed it (for the world)" and "Smokey Mountain Rain" A personal favorite. Ronnie has a lot of albums out, many of which are availabe here on eBay, but for me, this sees to be THE ONE that's worth your money.
