To Whom It May Concern (The Pasadenas)

The Pasadenas' 1988 album To Whom It May Concern is the UK soul group's debut. It contains one of their major hits, "Tribute (Right On)." It's a pretty neat album that draws from diverse influences, including doo wop, Motown, and 70s funk-influenced R&B. I wouldn't say that I adore it, but it's still a solid effort that makes for a pleasant listen. The highlight is a version of "Living in the Footsteps of Another Man," originally performed by The Chi-Lites. The Pasadenas do a great job with the song, though I can't claim to have heard the original for comparative purposes. "Justice for the World" also stands out here. Fans of retro-inspired late 80s soul may want to consider this one.
