This is a VERY generous selection of songs, and epecially considering the limited amount of "hits" she's had throughout her scattered recording career. So, why is Patti LaBelle considered a legend? She's hasn't had the hits of Aretha Franklin or Dionne Warwick, nor has she accomplished anything in particular; so, why is she a legend? Her voice. It's that simple. She's got a terrific voice. A very powerful voice, and that is what her legend is based on. So, "The Definitive Collection" is a fine overview of her hits, but if you are only just getting into Patti LaBelle, or just curious, you are not likely to know half of the songs included, as many of them only charted in America (and in the lower regions of the r'n'b charts), but with an open mind, you will learn to love many of these songs.
Highlights: "Over The Rainbow", "New Attitude", "On My Own" and "Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)".

Another New Day
22 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
There are often times where I've seen and heard a very good artist, but not actually deliver a definitive greatest hits record. Nevertheless, it is definitely a very sad situation for so many acts within the past several years. From Luther Vandross, to Natalie Cole, they've each had several hits records that were good, but not good enough. That also is the case with a true leend like Patti LaBelle. Her career has span a mind-blowing 45 years, and remains one of the very few perfomers that shows that her voice is still as unique and special as it was the day it started. Now that her 45th anniversary is here, another hits record is out from her universal catalog of delights. The question is, does this collection deliver like the other ones did.
Patti LaBelle's 2006 Definitive collection is a single disc comprehensive collection that tries to showcase Patti's longtime highs and lows as a singer. The album features 19 of her tracks reflecting her eras with The Bluebelles, LaBelle, and Patti's solo efforts. The record does show some of her best tracks like On My Own with Michael McDonald, Kiss Away The Pain, The Best Is Yet To Come with the late Grover Washington Jr., the upbeat When You Talk About Love, and her 2004 hit New Day. Although the album does highlight a lot of her great tracks, the also isn't really as definitive as it claims to be. The album really overlooks a lot of great songs such as the fiesty and soulful classic Lady Marmalade, If Only You Knew, the seductive Love, Need & Want You, When A Woman Loves, and many other great tracks.
All in all, Patti LaBelle's Definitive Collection feels more like it is a re-introduction to her longtime career to new fans, rather than displaying a definitive reflection for die hard longtime fans of this legendary diva. Still, if you haven't heard any of these great songs Patti LaBelle has made famous throughout the years, than this record is still worth listening to.

the sorta ultimate patti labelle
8 Sep 2006
Format:Audio CD
this cd could have been indeed been the definitive collection but anyone who is a fan of miss patti knows her signature song is You Are My Friend, it's not included here on this cd. the sound of what is on the cd is great, but alas like i said it's lacking the big gun
