5.0 out of 5 stars A True Classic!, December 1, 2007

By	S. Moore (Redwood City, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some of the songs here reflect the "message soul" that was popular in the early 70's, namely Brown Baby, I'm Just A Prisoner & Am I Black Enough for You. These songs are a great trip back to the past, however the rest of the CD marries a great jazz singer with some beautiful R&B stylings that will leave you speechless! Billy is more than a singer...he's an amazing interpretor. He uses his voice like Miles Davis used a trumpet. His vocal sounds just seem to flow out of him. He turns a simple ballad like Elton's Your Song into a soulful, breath-taking, uptempo masterpiece. He makes Let's Stay Together & It's Too Late his own also. This is an amazing album from an artist who should have been as big as any R&B superstar of the 70's.

Excellent reproduction; I am an avid collector of 60's, 70's R&B sounds. I am happy to be able to order albums like this.
