Elementary Spelling Bee songs
$16.65
2 LPs on 1 CD; BREAD & BUTTER/BIG BEAT SOUNDS BY THE NEWBEATS.
This two-fer CD reissue combines the Newbeats' first two albums onto one disc, adding both sides of a non-LP 1966 single. Although each included a few big and small hit singles, the rest of the material was filler, most of the tracks being subpar rock & roll oldies covers or contemporary songs from other sources. Bread and Butter, the first of the pair, was issued hot on the heels of their huge smash "Bread and Butter" in late 1964, with nothing else on the album matching the big hit (which led off side one, of course). Padding out the record were inferior covers of oldies ("Bye Bye Love," "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby," "So Fine") and then-recent hits ("The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in Her Kiss)," "I'm Blue (The Gong Gong Song)") that added nothing of note to the originals, save Larry Henley's distinctively hair-raising falsetto vocals. Not that the rest of the album was much better, with a derivative stomper, "Pink Dally Rue," in the mold of "I'm Blue (The Gong Gong Song)" (a problem considering that the latter song was also included on the LP); a John D. Loudermilk tune, "Everything's Alright," that sounded like little more than a knockoff of "Bread and Butter" (though it did manage to make the Top 20); and a crappy hot rod number, "Tough Little Buggy" (actually the original A-side of "Bread and Butter," oddly enough). The one track of note other than "Bread and Butter" is the original version of Loudermilk's "Thou Shalt Not Steal," which Dick & Dee Dee quickly covered for a Top 20 hit in a similar arrangement. Though the Newbeats' second album, 1965's Big Beat, did have three minor hit singles ("Break Away (From That Boy)," "Hey-O Daddy-O," and "(The Bees Are for the Birds) The Birds Are for the Bees"), it didn't have anything on the scale of their huge previous hit "Bread and Butter." Otherwise, however, it was about on the same level as the debut LP, again surrounding the hits with some pretty desultory rock & roll oldies covers and album filler (much of it co-penned by Jay Turnbow and Larry Parks, the same songwriters responsible for "Bread and Butter"). As for the non-hits here, the best of the lot is their respectable cover of Carole King and Gerry Goffin's "I Can't Hear You No More" (though this was done better by Betty Everett, Lulu, and Dusty Springfield), while Nancie Mantz (later to co-write the Electric Prunes' "I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)") co-authored the doo wop-styled "Human Kindness." You've got to be a real diehard to sit through ...
| | Dee Dee Bridgewater Just Family/Bad For Me CD (1977)
Elementary Spelling Bee album
$10.49
Even though Just Family was produced by Stanley Clarke and employs a lot of musicians who had jazz backgrounds -- including Chick Corea, George Duke, Airto Moreira, and Bobby Lyle -- this is an R&B album first and foremost. Dee Dee Bridgewater would return to jazz in a major way in the 1980s, but in the late 1970s, she was emphasizing adult-oriented R&B and going after fans of artists like Phyllis Hyman and Minnie Riperton. The strongest tracks on this LP, which was recorded when Bridgewater was 27, range from the playful title song and the Earth, Wind & Fire-ish "Children Are the Spirit (Of the World)" to the dreamy "Sweet Rain" and an emotional cover of Elton John's "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word." Also noteworthy is the Brazilian-influenced "Night Moves," a Michael Franks tune. Those who know Bridgewater for her hard-swinging jazz CDs of the 1980s and 1990s should be warned that Just Family isn't a jazz album at all. It must be judged by R&B standards, not jazz standards -- and from an R&B standpoint, Just Family is generally decent, if unspectacular and uneven. ~ Alex Henderson
Neither 1977's Just Family nor 1979's Bad for Me, the two albums combined for this Collectables release, can be considered Dee Dee Bridgewater's best work, but fans of mature, mid- to late-'70s R&B should find them moderately appealing. Though Bridgewater wouldn't really hit her stride until her return to jazz in the '90s, she was more than competent when it came to fitting in with the likes of Phyllis Hyman, Patrice Rushen, ...
