|  | Sometimes When We Touch...touches me... |  |
If you are a child of the 60's or 70's, prepare your soul for a trip back home. His music and his lyrics are as simple as rain yet as deep as the sea. What's not to love about "sometimes when we touch, the honesty's too much and I have to close my eyes and cry." A sweet melancholy awaits you...light the candles.

If you like Dan Hill's typical mellow, bordering-on-cheesy, ballads, then this is a good album for you. Hill is known for his love-themed, practically-cheesy, mellow ballads, and this album is full of them. His popular tracks, "Sometimes When We Touch" and "Can't We Try", are on this compilation, along with several other ballads. Although his duets are recorded with Ricque Franks, who isn't the original duet partner, the songs still sound fairly comparable to the originals. "In Your Eyes" is another nice ballad with his typical love-theme, but slightly different than his other hits. There are about six nice ballads in this compilation, but I just about skipped through his non-ballads. Some artists are strictly balladeers and Dan Hill is about as "balladeer" as you can get. Dan Hill's music is somewhere between Barry Manilow and Joe Cocker, so if you're into the mellow/raspy voice ballads, you definitely will enjoy this one.
March 2, 2007I was disappointed that Dan Hill Hit Song the Dance of Love was NOT included in this collection of his hits i thought this was a little misleadung, This CD should have had all of his hits on it. Again i was disappointed

I wonder how many people have a song that by the 2nd time they hear it, they can't change the station on the radio fast enough. "Sometimes When We Touch" is that song for me.
February 4, 2006Dan Hill had two top 40 hits and ten hits on the adult contemporary chart from 1977 to 1994. Of the tracks on this album, only three are in either category "Sometimes When We Touch", "All I See Is Your Face", and one of his two duets with Rique Franks that charted, "In Your Eyes". The rest of the CD contains an alternate version of "Sometimes When We Touch", two new versions of 80's hits, and six non-charted songs. If you're looking for a good collection of Dan Hill's charted hits, this is NOT it!
