Best of Peabo Bryson [EMI]

Performer: Peabo Bryson
Artist: Roberta Flack; Natalie Cole
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: Personnel: Peabo Bryson (vocals); Roberta Flack, Natalie Cole (vocals). Photographer: E.J. Camp. Peabo Bryson helped pioneer the smooth urban contemporary soul sound of the late '70s and '80s, and his velvet voice was perfectly suited to slow-burning duets with female partners. There are several of them on this short collection, including three with Roberta Flack ("Tonight I Celebrate My Love," "You're Looking Like Love to Me," "I Just Came Here to Dance") and two with Natalie Cole ("What You Won't Do for Love," "Gimme Some Time"). This is hardly a proper best-of, and is missing his 1978 hit "Reaching for the Gold," for instance, and at an extremely short running time, can't be recommended as the place to start to sample this urbane singer. This issue reproduces the same set list and sequence as Collectables' 2003 release of the same title, although with different graphics and artwork. ~ Steve Leggett

Peabo Bryson's smooth, sweet, seemingly effortless singing voice is the epitome of contemporary soul, easy-listening division. The Grammy Award-winning singer and producer has appeared regularly on the pop and R&B charts since the late 1970s, perhaps most notably as the vocalist of the 1984 soft-rock classic "If Ever You're In My Arms Again." Bryson has also mastered the art of the romantic duet, intertwining his voice with those of such superstars as Natalie Cole, Roberta Flack, and Celine Dion.
