CD Reviews

A few hits short of being all of the best of Lulu
Lawrance M. Bernabo | The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota | 02/04/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I checked out this collection of "The Best of Lulu" because I was interested in what was the last name of this "English" pop singer and what other hits she had besides "To Sir, With Love." Well, I discovered that she was a Scottish lass born Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie (at least until she married Maurice Gibb), and that she had been on the British charts for three years before the movie "To Sir, With Love" came out and the title song became a hit. The problem is that this collection of hits does not go back to 1964 when she had her first Top 10 hit in Britain with "Shout." Nor does it include "Here Comes the Night," which means that this collection misses out on the R&B influences that made Lulu a star in the first place. This album does have the other songs that made it over to this side of the pond, such as "The Boat That I Row," "Best of Both Worlds," "Morning Dew." The rest is okay. You will notice that her cover of "Daytripper" is nothing special, but you might be impressed by "You and I," which was written by Mark London, who penned "To Sir, With Love." It always comes back to that song with Lulu, but there was a decent music career beyond that mega-hit."
