Performer: Ronnie Milsap
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. PLAYLIST: THE BEST OF RONNIE MILSAP surveys nearly two decades worth of the singer/pianist's extensive catalog of hits. Beginning with 1974's "Pure Love" the collection outlines the development of Milsap's distinctively smooth, mellow brand of pop-influenced country, which showcases his easygoing, unaffected vocal style. Interestingly, PLAYLIST reveals that although the former Elvis sideman's style has changed very little over the years, the quality of the performances and song choices assures that Milsap's music never sounds dated.
Born blind, pianist Ronnie Milsap played a soulful, bluesy brand of country music that made him a superstar by the end of the '70s. Milsap was a former sessionman for Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwick and Petula Clark (among others). Milsap's passionate ballads, live shows and reworkings of pop and R&B standards brought him a record number of awards (including six Grammys) and multiplatinum sales. He continued to record and perform into the 2000s.
