VA - Art Laboe's Dedicated to You, Vol. 6
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Mtume's "Juicy Fruit,"
the Four Tops' "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)," Barbara Lewis' "Hello
Stranger," and Rick James' "Superfreak." 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 Santo & Johnny to the Sister Sledge, credit goes to
Laboe for making it a ride worth taking.
