This song reminds me of my first Love.
It takes me back, to a time of innocence and pure delight.
The words and the beat may be alittle old fashion for forks who are twenty and under.
Yet, my era {the seventy's}and our style seems to satisfy a verity of palate's.
Please listen and enjoy as I do.
While driving down a stretch of highway ,my hair blowing in the wind, singing the words thinking of what I will be getting into next.
I'm certain that you to will be Magically transported
to a erotic, place of undiniable satisfacion.
The Womack's have always been favorites of mine.
If they are singing as a group or solo I am forever a Fan.
The wife of this particular brother is the daughter of the late great Sam Cook.
How could they make anything but, good music together.
I also herad that all the children these two have where born at home with Daddy Womack at the side of his Beloved.
Maybe this is't a factor for those who make musical purchases.
The point for myself was that when this couple first started out,
I followed there career to the letter.
You can imagine how Happy I was to find all my oldies but Goodies
with Amazon.
Be delighted and Enjoy All!

5.0 out of 5 stars The story of Love!, July 21, 2005

This review is from: Conscience (Audio CD)

Great soul music from 1988 which hasn't dated one bit.

Husband and wife team Womack & Womack (he, brother to soul legend Bobby Womack; She, daughter to soul legend Sam Cooke) had a massive UK top 3 hit with the upbeat, catchy, clap-a-long `Teardrops', and it's similar sounding follow up `Celebrate the world' was also a UK top 20 hit.

The theme of the CD is love in its various ramifications and stages.

Opening track `Conscience of my conscience' is a funky ditty about learning from yesterday's class.

Track 2 is a funky dance number about a lover who plays around so much, she's been reported to the `Missin' persons bureau'. Great song!

`Friends (so called)' is about being let down by friends, with great lyrics like a man needs to know who will shine the light for him/when his way is dark and dim. Great percussion.

My favourite song has got to be the tender and sober lament of `Slave (just for love)' about a man so in love, he gave everything up for his lady. Featuring some haunting backing vocals, and a delicate delivery from Linda in the last 2 minutes. Brilliant!

`Good man monologue' is a retro sounding number with Cecil sounding a bit like Macy Gray, and Linda like a young Aretha.

`Life is just a ballgame' is a sunny, bouncy song, comparing life to a game. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. I love the delicate percussion and soothing bass line.

`I am love' is a beautiful tender ode to love. The CD notes preceeding this song declare `Love is the most powerful force in the universe..', so true.

Tight musicianship, excellent production, great songwriting, and passionate soulful vocals make this a fantastic CD, still giving soul music of today a good run for its money...

Deep, spiritual soul music.
