VA - Art Laboe's Dedicated to You, Vol. 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the Dells' "Stay in My Corner,"
Blue Magic's "Sideshow," El Chicano's "Sabor a Mi," and Otis Redding's "These
Arms of Mine." 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
Johnny Ace to the Mary Jane Girls, credit goes to Laboe for making it a ride
worth taking.
