VA - Art Laboe's Dedicated to You, Vol. 5
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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 William DeVaughn's "Be
Thankful for What You Got," the Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me,"
the Manhattans "Kiss and Say Goodbye," and Etta James' "At Last." Just that
brief list of songs should give you an idea of how broad the scope of the
series is. It is certainly a wild ride that takes you from Etta James to the Gap
Band, credit goes to Laboe for making it a ride worth taking.
