Editorial Reviews

There have been scads of Patti LaBelle compilations throughout the years. If you take a glance at the lower left-hand corner of Anthology's cover, you can get some idea of where it stands in relation to all the others. The Philadelphia International logo, located in that spot, indicates that the set will be reliant upon LaBelle's few years spent at that label, which weren't -- astonishingly enough -- all that successful from a commercial standpoint. It can't be denied that Anthology covers a lot of ground (despite all the late-'70s/early-'80s material for PI, it begins with 1977's "Joy to Have Your Love" and concludes with 1986's "On My Own," her number one hit duet with Michael McDonald) and differs from most of the other career overviews. -All Music Guide

This review is from: Anthology (Audio CD)

And it's the compilers with whom I have a problem. I own a number of anthologies and while they all don't necessarily present a singer's songs in the order in which they appeared, they are anthologies! ALL of the artist's work is presented with occasional exceptions for lesser hits, favored album cuts and the like. Patti soars on the songs here but where is "I Don't Go Shopping", "Little Girls" and "Down the Aisle" from the days when Cindy Birdsong, a future Supreme, was a backup singer? The former Patricia Holt does not let you down, but where do the packagers of "Anthology" get off representing this as a complete compilation of the great lady's work? Greedmerchants.
