Dee Dee Bridgewater's final Elektra effort represents her most concentrated attempt at a crossover hita collaboration with Philly soul architect Thom Bell, this selftitled set bears all the hallmarks of the postdisco Philadelphia International sound, couching Bridegwater's potent vocals in a series of lush, sophisticated settings. The record's far from unlistenable, but Bridgewater never seems comfortable in this slick, poporiented contexta handful of jazzy ballads allow her to stretch out, but the more uptempo numbers feel strained, and cuts like "Lonely Disco Dancer" have aged no better than such a title would suggest.

Cuestión curiosa:
Corría el año 1980. Tienda de discos de importación "Raf Import" en la Av. de Roma, cerca de la confluencia con Aragó. En una de esas incursiones que hacía, a menudo sólo para curiosear (era un estudiante-proletario siempre en números rojos, no como ahora, siempre en números infra-rojos!), me compré el "Here To create Music" de Leon Huff (estaba seguro, como así fue, que CBS española no lo publicaría e hice el esfuerzo de pagar el precio "import" (bastante superior). Ese mismo día, en la misma cubeta dos novedades más: "Dee Dee" de Dee Dee Sharp (PIR) y otor también titulado "Dee Dee" de Dee Dee Bridgewater (no recuerdo el sello pero sí, leyendo los créditos, Sigma Sound, las Sweethearts y Thom Bell de productor). El caso es que estoy seguro que el título era "Dee Dee", con fotos en poses como de balet clásico o de gimnástica, con mallas negras y color dominante de la cubierta negro. No sé si se tratará de dos elepés distintos o del mismo reeditado con diferentes título y carátula.
De todo el track-list sólo tengo el "That's The Way Love Should Feel", que salió en el CD recopilatorio "Crème de la crème, vol. 2" (Atco)
Perdona tanta disgresión, "em faig yayu".
Salu2

This has been released on cd also!
He subido a mi blog el Cd de harold melvin&Bluenotes- Black & Blue. Os dejo el enlace por aqui, porque aunque imagino que ya habra sido posteado anteriormente, no es un cd facil de encontrar. Es ripeo de Cd, no de LP, el cd lo consegui en ebay de una edicion japonesa de 1994, creo. Un saludo a todos, y gracias por el blog.
