Description

Dee Clark was one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from the Chicago R&B scene, blending gospel-rooted passion with a smooth pop sensibility that brought him a string of hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s. This CD brings together 25 recordings that showcase the full range of his talent, from the uptempo charm of ‘Just Keep It Up’ and ‘Hey Little Girl’ to the yearning, falsetto-drenched emotion of his signature ‘Rain Drops’ — one of the most atmospheric ballads of the era. Tracks like ‘At My Front Door’ and ‘Nobody But You’ further illustrate his effortless ability to move between dance-floor energy and tender, aching soul. An essential collection for any fan of classic Chicago R&B and early rock and roll…
