The Very Best of Glenn Frey, is chock-full of major chart hits, including the Beverly Hills Cop smash “The Heat Is On,” the gritty, slide-guitar-driven gutbucket groove of “Smuggler’s Blues,” the epicMiami Vice ballad “You Belong to the City,” the inward-looking poignancy of “Soul Searchin’,” and much more. The Very Best of Glenn Frey is available here as a stand-alone disc as well as part of the box set. And while Glenn clearly embraced the burgeoning video age, nabbing a vaunted 1985 MTV Music Video Award with the cinematically dramatic clip for “Smuggler’s Blues,” it’s the enduring essence of the man’s songwriting skills on display here that truly sealed his legacy as a solo artist.

Brilliant Compilation!
I only bought this CD for one song and that was for Part Of Me, Part Of You. What a brilliant song. It's been being played on the radio quite a bit lately and is one that I completely forgot about. I have to say this is one brilliant compilation of his hits. I had forgotten about some of them but what memories some of these songs have brought back. This CD has all his hits from his solo career, i.e. The Heat Is On from Beverly Hills Cop and You Belong To The City from Miami Vice. Part Of Me, Part Of You from Thelma & Louise and on the album Strange Weather. Every song on here is a gem. As a final track he included a live Eagles medley, Lyin' Eyes/Take It Easy, from a concert in Dublin, Ireland. Fantastic close to a fantasic compilation. If you're a Glen Frey or Eagles fan, this is the one for you. I highly recomment it.

Enjoyable 80's commercial californian collection.
Great collection of Glenn Frey tracks from his solo career. There is still a strong Eagles feel on many tracks, perhaps not unsurprisingly but many of these tracks would stand comparison to Some Eagles tracks. Also a few more 'poppy' tracks that are very listenable slso. The whole album stands up and is great value for money . Recommended not just for Eagles fans but those who enjoy a more commercial, West coast song from the 80's.

GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY
i ordered this CD as 1 ... i like the eagles & 2 ... i love the track "part of me, part of you" which is featured in the movie thelma & louise, not many of the other tracks id heard before except " the heat is on " which is featured in the movie "beverly hills cop" but not only were the other tracks really good but there was so many of them that i did like so overall i was very satisfied with this purchase.

First class compilation
A really great collection of the best of Glenn Frey, highlighting the songs that marked the pinnacles of his career. I have not enjoyed a disk this much in a long time. It is now the standard CD to accompany me on every journey, made even better because I can belt out along with every song, without disturbing anyone. I must look really weird at traffic lights!RIP, Glenn. You are dearly missed.
