VA - Art Laboe's Dedicated to You, Vol. 11
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
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. He also is 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 '90s. 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 En Vogue's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)," Patti Drew's "Workin'
On a Groovy Thing," the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You," and Timmy
T.'s "One More Try." 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 the doo wop of the Flamingos to the contemporary sounds of En Vogue,
and credit goes to Laboe for making it a ride worth taking.
