AMG Review of Let Me Belong to You
Jason Ankeny
All Music GuideCompiling highlights from the seven singles issued by LaVern Baker during her three-year tenure with the Brunswick label, Let Me Belong to You couches the legendary R&B diva in the polished Chicago soul sound of the mid-'60s. One can't help but miss the raw vitality of her classic Atlantic R&B sides, but producers Carl Davis and Eugene Record nevertheless showcase her potent vocals to vivid effect. Songs like "Born to Lose" and "Love Is Ending" capture a maturity and melancholy unique within the Baker oeuvre, posing an intriguing question of how her career may have evolved if she hadn't spent the next two decades in self-imposed exile.
