Clyde McPhatter's high, gentle tenor gave both the Dominoes and the Drifters some of their greatest hits, and his solo work found him melding R&B and pop into something resembling early soul.

Clyde McPhatter's high, gentle tenor gave both the Dominoes and the Drifters some of their greatest hits, and his solo work found him melding R&B and pop into something resembling early soul. Like both Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke, the two singers he most resembles, McPhatter worked toward a middle ground that would combine both black and white audiences, but although he scored several huge R&B hits, he never crossed over regularly to the pop charts. This brief collection features his late-'50s solo work for Atlantic Records, including the Brook Benton-penned "A Lover's Question" and the elegant "Since You've Been Gone." Atlantic's Deep Sea Ball anthology assembles all ten of these tracks plus nine more, and may be a better place to start, but for the budget conscious, Treasure of Love & Other Favorites hits most of the high points. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
