Music reviews of Essential Patti Labelle
Music Review: The Good, The Bad & The ...Eh
Rating: 3 Stars
Okay, I am one of the more hardcore Patti Labelle fans, despite my age of 25. Over the years, her voice has gotten stronger and stronger and nobody can throw down like her live on stage, even now.
Now when I saw this collection, I was excited because it's more formal than the "Gold" series, just by looking at the covers and etc. So that was at the top of my list, certainly after my "Patti Labelle: Gold" was stolen last year along with other CDs.
Now i looked over the tracklisting here and i looked over it again today before I brought the CD. Now I brought home and here I am. Now where do I start?
Well here it goes.
The Good: First of all this is Ms. Patti Labelle, that's the first reason. This has all the important cuts of her solo career to include "If Only You Knew" which is a great way to open any cd that you have LOL. It has the live version of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" which is in a class of its own and it is one of the best live performances by her, even better than "Over the Rainbow". It has her group cuts and earlier hard-to-find songs on here from her 60s heyday. Cool
The Bad: The order is out of whack, although they did put her earlier stuff all on one CD and her more recent stuff on another; the same goes for solo and group cuts.
There are some more than deserving cuts missing from this for it to be called Essential, to include "We Ain't Finished Yet" from the 5 Heartbeats, "Love Has Finally Come At Last" with Bobby Womack (That version that's on the CD pissed me off), her duet with Luther from her One Night Only "Is It Still Good To You", her live versions of "Here & Now", "Stand By You", "Wind Beneath My Wings", & "Stand" with Donnie McClurkin. Then there's "If You Asked Me To", "Superwoman" with Gladys Knight & Dionne Warwick, "Go Solo" with Ron Isley, "Walk Around Heaven", "One Of Those Mornings" with Moby, "Right Kinda Lover", "I'm Gone", "Stir It Up", "Ain't No Way", her very hard to find version of "Black Butterfly", now that's Essential.
The Eh: While it's nice to see some unreleased stuff, a majority of the stuff on the second CD came from her least successful time; from the Philadelphia International Label and some of the other songs on here aren't even close to her best. her GOLD collection was way more better than this one. I thought they would've got it together by now but they missed more this go around.
