This is how the work gets done, on the Eternal Groove for this final installment of Philips three Gospel releases, culminating on the Best of CD. The previous review gives no propers to the Gospel work, but they just hadn't caught up with the Eternal Groove! Philip's singing for the Lord is GREAT stuff!

I used to be an absolute fan of Philip Bailey's, and this is the first record that actually put me off him. Starting with this one album, Philip's career, singing and choice of material went downslope.

His best Christian album was also the first one "The Wonders Of His Love" (1984), followed by "Triumph" (1986), which was almost as good. This doesn't live up to the other two, unfortunately. As for his secular, mainstream albums, "Chinese Wall" (1984)and even "Inside Out" (1986) are great albums, and even the 1983 debut album "Continuation" (never made available on CD) had its moments, but these go back quite a bit now!

Nowadays, Philip Bailey has lost the brilliancy of his early performances. Even his work with Earth Wind & Fire doesn't live up to his early days with the band. Yet, anything is better than this record, so if you want to buy it, buy it only for the sake of completion (and pray that his rarer albums be made available on CD at last!)
