Patti LaBelle's 1989 album, Be Yourself, boasts a bevy of the day's brightest songwriters and producers, including the ubiquitous Diane Warren, who penned the album's lead single, "If You Asked Me To," which several years later became a massive hit for Celine Dion. Despite LaBelle's masterful, tear-inducing performance, the real gems on this set are two tunes written and produced by Prince: "Yo Mister," the set's second single (and a Top Ten R&B hit amazingly omitted from her 1996 Greatest Hits album), and "Love 89," which was co-written by Sheena Easton. These two songs find LaBelle at her funkiest -- they each have unstoppable beats, and despite the late-'80s production, still manage to sound fresh and undated, which is not entirely the case with the Full Force production "I Got It Like That." Other standouts include the funky title track, the melodic, Narada Michael Walden-produced "Still in Love," and the ballad "I Can't Complain." Most of the album's other ballads are toward the end, with the Bacharach-Sager-penned "Need a Little Faith" rising above the others. Despite a couple of unmemorable moments, Be Yourself doesn't disappoint by any means and is definitely worth having if only for the forgotten gems "Yo Mister" and "Love 89," which rank as some of Prince's better songs as well. ~ Jose F.

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Patti at her best
Pattis does a great job considering the artist who lend a hand writing her sonegs for this album. Being a die hard Prince fan that's why I bought this. Yo mister is awesome and gives me goose bumps when she sings it.

5 stars I got it like that!
This album was a hit in its time and I still enjoy it today. Ms Patti executive-produced this collection and she hand-picked some of the greatest talent around at the time for this outing. My favourites are "If you asked me to", "Yo Mister" and of course "I got it like that". If you're a fan and you can dig some 80s pop/soul/r'n'b, then get this CD and you too will "get it like that!".

This excellent two-disc collection captures Poco's finest moments from the days when they were laying down the template for all the country-rock music that was to follow. It's hard to remember, but when the Eagles first hit the scene, they were thought by many to be a Poco-wannabe band. Listen ...
