Our Take

In the vast sea of doo-wop crooners from the 1950s and 60s, Dee Clark stands out as a true gem. His velvety smooth voice and infectious energy shine brightly on his latest compilation album "A History - 1952 - 1960."

Clark's ability to transition seamlessly from heartfelt ballads to toe-tapping up-tempo tracks is truly impressive. Tracks like "Just Keep It Up" and "Your Friends" highlight his versatility as a performer, showcasing his soulful vocal range and dynamic delivery.

The production on this album is top-notch, with lush orchestration and tight arrangements that perfectly complement Clark's vocals. The crisp percussion and shimmering guitar work add depth and texture to each track, creating a rich sonic tapestry that is a joy to listen to.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the infectious "Hey Little Girl," which features Clark's distinctive falsetto soaring over a lively horn section and bouncy rhythm section. It's impossible not to tap your feet and sing along to this catchy tune.

Overall, "A History - 1952 - 1960" is a delightful romp through the early career of Dee Clark, showcasing his immense talent and infectious charm. Whether you're a die-hard doo-wop fan or just looking for some feel-good music to groove to, this album is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Highly recommended.
