This 1986 album -- on the Rounder label, which picked up other greats who were dropped by major labels -- shows one of the great soul singers of all time in prime form. From the sweetness of the opening track, "Love Buys Love" to the uptempo shouting of Burke's own "Got to Get Myself Some Money" to the wistfully hopeful (and brilliant) cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come," this album is a triumph. It grows on you, and then grows some more. Soul at its best.

Have to agree with the previous reviewer , this is a superb effort from Solomon , recorded in the 80's when his stock was not at it's highest .He also put out a magnificent live effort round about then "Soul Alive' which is well worth seeking out.
This one is a very consistent album indeed , almost ever track is killer , indeed it may well be his best album (given that much of his best work was singles based) , it's certainly on a par with "Proud Mary" and "Dont Give Up On Me" so if you know and love either of those then i'd urge you to give this one a try , i don't think you'll be disappointed !
