Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Among the originators of the Philly soul sound of the late '60s and pre-disco '70s, the Delfonics fashioned hit after hit with the same basic formula of ultra-romantic crooning, three-part harmonies, and a supremely mellow accompaniment that came with a pillow of lush string orchestrations. The 20 Delfonics hits collected on La-La Means I Love You--including their best-known songs, "La-La Means I Love You" and "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)"--amount to R&B easy-listening, often soothing to the degree they become aural wallpaper. At times, though, this stuff can transcend its own schmaltz. --Roni Sarig

Nobody loves the harmonies, melodies and memories that these guys evoke like me...BUT, there is one glaring ommision...'I Gave to You', the Ultimate Slow Jam when I was in Jr. High School, yeah, knit just out of the cleaners, BRUT, 'Fro picked out to the max and that blue light in the basement at Felicia's house (she gave the BEST house parties). That Philly sound is timeless and priceless...

The Delfonics are a classic Philly soul group from the late 60's and 70's. Primarily a rap fan, I was not even close to being born when these guys were doing their thing, but I feel that these times were the best for R&B. Lead singer William Hart has such a dope tenor voice, and his group drop some of the best choruses I have ever heard. The choruses complement Hart's solos so well.

This collection is perfect for anyone reminiscing on the good old days, or for any novices like myself who want a history lesson on the legacy of soul. "Trying To Make A Fool Of Me" (1970) has to be one of my favorite soul jams of all time, or should say, favorite song of any genre of all time. I ... Read More:

A great soul album. I missed out on the Delfonics in the 70's, but was alerted to what they were by the Quentin Tarantino film "Jackie Brown". Great songs, performed with true conviction and musicality.
