• Dee Clark was one of the best R&B singers of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and enjoyed a spate of chart hits, but is seldom mentioned today. This edition includes Clark’s two first albums (both released in 1959) in their entirety, ‘Dee Clark’ and ‘How About That’. These LPs offer a solid introduction into this man's special brand of soul – his charm, passionate delivery, musical feeling, sentimental mood renderings and R&B innovation.

• In addition, there are 4 bonus tracks, consisting of hard to find sides from the same period. This whole CD is a treasure trove of excellent R&B recordings that should have made Dee Clark an international star.

• Clark's singing talents can also be recognized in his treatment of some ballads and jazz-flavoured tunes. He had a full, resonant voice and truly enjoyed singing. His abilities went far beyond the moderate pop success he enjoyed in the early rock and roll years.

• “One of the most adaptable R&B vocalists of the '50s and early '60s....He could do it all, whatever was expected of a top R&B singer circa 1960, and on this album he pretty much did it and a little more, too” - (All Music Guide)

• Total Time: 74:10 mins - 28 tracks - Also includes: 16-page booklet, rare photos, vintage visual memorabilia & detailed liner notes.

Reviews

Blues & Rhythm - Byron Foulger

Dee Clark should have been a bigger star than he was; his voice was really top class.
