VA - Art Laboe's Dedicated to You, Vol. 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AllMusic Review by Tim Sendra
Art Laboe is a legendary DJ who came to prominence in the '50s in Los
Angeles playing doo wop and R&B. He became a promoter, club owner, and
syndicated radio star; his Killer Oldies show is still going strong. He is also a
label proprietor with Original Sounds. The label's Dedicated to You series is
made up of ballads, dance tracks, and classic sides from the '50s to the '80s.
The wide range of songs makes for a sometimes disjointed listening
experience as not all the segues between eras make sense. Still there is a lot
of fine R&B, soul, girl group sounds, and funk that will make you want to
dance and reminisce. The highlights of this volume are Bloodstone's "Natural
High," the Moonglows' "Ten Commandments of Love," the Originals' "Baby, I'm
Real" and Three Degrees' "When Will I See You Again." Just that brief list of
songs should give you an idea of how broad the scope of the series is. This is
actually one of the more unified collections and for that reason; it is also one
of the most successful artistically.
