16 Most Requested Songs is a midline-priced collection that spotlights many of Lombardo's best-known and most popular performances for Columbia Records, including Stormy Weather, I'll Never Be the Same, How Deep is the Ocean, Too Many Tears, I'm Playing With Fire, My Old Flame and We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye. Although it's far from a perfect retrospective of his career, it's still a nice sampler of familiar items, and it may satisfy the needs of some casual fans who only want the hits.
