Did the swim, then sunk
Zub | Forks Twp., PA | 06/21/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Bobby Freeman first hit the pop music world in 1958 with his top-5 "Do You Want To Dance". For years after, he made a few appearances on the pop charts with some mediocre tunes but after moving to the Autumn label and hooking up with a developing Sly Stone, he hit big again with "C'mon and Swim". While "...Swim" achieved the same chart success as "...Dance", Freeman will probably always be remembered for the often-remade bouncy classic "...Dance". This compilation collects his output for the Autumn label featuring his comeback hit "C'mon and Swim". Unfortunately, the momentum could not be maintained and with just one other minor capitalization on the "Swim" theme ("S-W-I-M"), Freeman again disappeared for good from the pop charts. There are 25 tracks here including non-charting singles, lp sides and a few previously unissued songs and alternate versions. The sound quality is generally good to excellent, however all tracks appear in mono. As this collection is limited in scope to his Autumn records era, this piece is of more interest to the collector or completist."
