Synopsis

Album Details
Camille Yarbrough is Perhaps Best Known for 'take Yo' Praise', which Fatboy Slim Remixed as 'praise You' in 1998. 'take Yo Praise' was Originally Recorded in 1975 for Camille Yarbrough's First and Only Album "The Iron Pot Cooker". The Album was Based on the Very Successful 1971 Stage Dramatization of Yarbrough's One-woman/Spoken Word Show: Tales and Tunes of an African American Griot (Which She Toured Nationally During the 70s and 80s). When it was First Released in 1975, "The Iron Pot Cooker" Received High Reviews from Local and National Media, Including this One from Billboard Magazine: "Yarbrough Has Stylish Traces of Nina Simone and Gil Scott-heron but her Own Style of Singing and Recitation Are Outstanding. Her Songs Are all Thought Provoking". We Are Releasing this CD in Its Original Form, Without the Fatboy Slim Remix, and with Its Original Sleeve.
 

CD Reviews

There Would Be No Lauryn Hill Without Camille Yarbrough
Tyler Suchman | Ojai, CA USA | 02/27/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Iron Pot Cooker is a landmark historical album that has been reissued by Vanguard Records. The centerpiece is "Take Yo' Praise," a song that was sampled and made hugely famous by Fatboy Slim. The original version bubbles and smolders, haunting in its passion. Shades of Stevie Wonder support a woman who at times is proud, angry and insightful. A couple of tracks show their age and are a challenge to listen to, but by and large, the album is an important precursor to hip-hop and R&B."
