This entry doesn't have quite the chart muscle of many of the prior ones in the Rebound label series, with two of the songs, the Hooters' reggae-inflected "All You Zombies" and Roger Daltrey's Pete Townshend-penned "After the Fire," failing to even crack the American Top 40.

Pop superstar Lionel Richie's number one "Say You, Say Me" and his former band the Commodores only major post-Richie hit, the Jackie Wilson/Marvin Gaye tribute "Nightshift," are also featured. ~ Tom Demalon, Rovi
