Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0078221897921 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Arista Manufacturer: Arista MPN: 18979 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Arista Release Date: August 26, 1997 Studio: Arista Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Among the originators of the Philly soul sound of the late '60s and pre-disco '70s, the Delfonics fashioned hit after hit with the same basic formula of ultra-romantic crooning, three-part harmonies, and a supremely mellow accompaniment that came with a pillow of lush string orchestrations. The 20 Delfonics hits collected on La-La Means I Love You--including their best-known songs, "La-La Means I Love You" and "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)"--amount to R&B easy-listening, often soothing to the degree they become aural wallpaper.

That Philly sound is timeless and priceless... Rating: - Soul Music At its BestThe Delfonics are a classic Philly soul group from the late 60's and 70's. Primarily a rap fan, I was not even close to being born when these guys were doing their thing, but I feel that these times were the best for R&B. Lead singer William Hart has such a dope tenor voice, and his group drop some of the best choruses I have ever heard. The choruses complement Hart's solos so well. The music is slower to mid-tempo, my favorite style in R&B. This collection is perfect for anyone reminiscing ...

If you like classic soul, and you like songs with substance, please pick up this cd. You won't be disappointed. Rating: - La La Means Great Music InsideDelfonics fans-take a listen. Every track is here, excellent recordings, and still the lush group blend that takes you there and back. It's a smooth ride! Rating: - Soul HeavenA great soul album. I missed out on the Delfonics in the 70's, but was alerted to what they were by the Quentin Tarantino film "Jackie Brown". Great songs, performed with true conviction and musicality. |
