Amazon.com Possessed of one of pop music's great voices, Patti Labelle has done the girl-group thing with the Bluebells, and thrown down the full-on funk with LaBelle. Her solo career found LaBelle trying on both up-tempo dance hits and classy soul ballads. This short set is from her latter period, reflecting such triumphs as "On My Own," her duet with Doobie Brother Michael McDonald that was a No. 1 pop hit, and the touchingly compassionate "Oh People." "New Attitude" and "Stir It Up," her R&B hits from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack now sound dated because of the '80s-specific production touches, but other songs--"When You Talk About Love" and "When You've Been Blessed"--show off her dynamic voice to good advantage. This set is not quite the equal of 1996's Greatest Hits, but it has a lot to recommend it nonetheless. --Daniel Durchholz Product Description The gifted singer who scored early hits in the mold of Motown's girl groups of the '60's, struck chart gold as a disco star in the '70's and achieved full fledged stardom in the '80's with several pop crossover hits ("New Attitude" included here). MCA celebrates Patti's stellar career with this hit-packed set highlighted by her #1 pop/R&B duet with Michael McDonald, "On My Own," as well as Prince's "Yo Mister," which makes it's 1st appearance on a compilation.
