Free Music Review: One Of Two Excellent Dee Clark Compilations
Hit: 5 Stars
There's not too much to choose between this offering from Neon of Sweden and the one titled Hey Little Girl from Charly of the U.K. Both have excellent sound reproduction and liner notes (two pages here by an unknown author) and both provide all eight of his hits with the Abner and Vee-Jay labels from 1958 to 1962.
Since Amazon only shows two of the 20 tracks above, I have listed them here for your information: 1) Raindrops; 2) Hey Little Girl; 3) Nobody But You; 4) Just Keep It Up; 5) How About That; 6) At My Front Door; 7) You're Looking Good; 8) Your Friends (with The Dells); 9) I'm Going Back To School; 10) Because I Love You; 11) (Don't) Walk Away From Me; 12) Shook Up Over You; 13) I'm A Soldier Boy; 14) Blues Get Off My Shoulder; 15) Seven Nights; 16) Just Can't Help Myself (with The Kool Gents); 17) When I Call On You (with The Kool Gents); 18) Just Like A Fool (with The Kool Gents); 19) Oh Little Girl (with The Upsetters); 20) Wondering (with The Upsetters).
With Abner Records his hits were: Nobody But You (# 3 R&B/# 21 Billboard Hot 100 in late 1958/early 1959 b/w When I Call On You); Just Keep It Up (# 9 R&B/# 18 Hot 100 in June 1959 b/w Whispering Grass); Hey Little Girl (# 1 R&B/# 20 Hot 100 October 1959 b/w If It Wasn't For Love); How About That (# 10 R&B/# 33 Hot 100 January 1960 b/w Blues Get Off My Shoulder which reached # 105 Hot 100 "bubble under"), and At My Front Door (# 56 Hot 100 in April 1960 b/w Cling A Ling). Three of the foregoing B-sides are omitted here.
With Vee-Jay he scored with: You're Looking Good (# 43 Hot 100 in September 1960 b/w Gloria); Your Friends (# 30 R&B/# 34 Hot 100 in 1961 b/w Because I Love You, which reached # 105 on the Hot 100 "bubble under"); Raindrops (# 2 Hot 100/# 3 R&B in June 1961 b/w I Want To Love You); and I'm Going Back To School (# 18 R&B/# 52 Hot 100 in November 1962 b/w Nobody But You). All the foregoing hits were backed by the Riley Hampton orchestra.
Neither CD provides his last hit, scored in late 1963 for the Constellation label (Crossfire Time - # 92 Hot 100/R&B b/w I'm Going Home).
But of additional interest here are three cuts at tracks 16 to 18 while with The Kool Gents under his real name Delecta Clark. Originally calling themselves The Goldentones, they renamed the group after DJ Hal "Kool Gent" Kent, who was instrumental in linking them with Vee-Jay Records. This group would also record as The Delegates, doing a humerous "break-in" cut called The Convention, along the lines of Buchanan & Goodman on Flying Saucer in 1956, only in this instance the focus was on politics. In 1972 another group calling themselves The Delegates would resurrect the idea for a # 8 Hot 100 called Delegation '72.
Either this one or the Charly release is recommended.
