King & Queen
(1967)

by
Otis Redding & Carla Thomas
Otis Redding never recorded a lighter, more purely entertaining record than King & Queen, a collection of duets with Stax labelmate Carla Thomas. In all likelihood inspired by a series of popular duets recorded by Marvin Gaye -- indeed, "It Takes Two," Gaye's sublime collaboration with Kim Weston, is covered here -- the record serves no greater ...

Otis Redding

Also included are Redding's near-definitive version of Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and the gorgeous (and ...

Otis Redding
Dreams to Remember: The Otis Redding Anthology presents an interesting dilemma. Certainly, the music on the double-disc set is superb -- all of his hits are here, along with a wealth of great album tracks and five live cuts from the Monterey International Pop Festival. The question is, was the collection necessary ? Casual listeners who just want ...

Let Them Talk

by
Davell Crawford
Although hard bop/soul-jazz was the main focus of Davell Crawford's sophomore effort, The B-3 and Me, it would be a mistake to think that he plays jazz exclusively. In fact, gospel and classic New Orleans R&B were the main focus of his enjoyable debut album, Let Them Talk, which was recorded when Crawford was only 19. While Crawford was heard ...

Jimmy Witherspoon
One of the many unfairly overlooked albums from Witherspoon's early career, Hey Mrs. Jones is a marvelous discovery, although its lack of stylistic unity, whilst showing Witherspoon's versatility, also accounts for a occasionally confusing listening experience. The best cuts on the album are priceless Witherspoon -- "The Masquerade Is Over" ...

The Clovers
The pride and joy of Washington, D.C., this smooth R&B/doo wop group ranks as the genres' most successful messengers, enjoying a string of hits -- from 1951 to 1958 -- for Atlantic Records. Ahmet Ertegun, Atlantic's owner, wrote eight of their first nine singles. This is not a definitive collection; some hits are included (i.e., "Lovey Dovey," ...

The R&B Box: 30 Years of Rhythm & Blues
(1994)

by
Various Artists
Encapsulating the history of R&B in a box set, even one that spans six discs, is a ridiculous task. Inevitably, there will be important artists and songs that are missing, no matter how comprehensive the set is. Rhino's R&B Box -- 30 Years of Rhythm and Blues suffers from that very problem. While it contains some of the classic tracks, it lacks ...

Delbert McClinton
Far from a comprehensive overview of Delbert McClinton's four decade career, this is an enjoyable yet relatively brief disc focusing entirely on covers of classic R&B material. Compiled from the rugged Texas singer's four early solo albums recorded from 1974 through 1979, it shines a light onto McClinton's varied influences as well as being a ...

Georgie Fame was just beginning to settle down into a more comfortable, and certainly less hell-raisingly energetic mood as he hit his fourth album, and Sound Venture -- his second successive British Top Tenner -- does slow down accordingly.
