I just added "Jesus is Lord" from this release on my internet web show and looking at the 1st review by C. Loos, I TOTALLY AGREE! Young folks, at first, may not want to hear this because this is their parents contemporary gospel music. But my 15yr old daughter can't help herself from enjoying the Eternal Grooves from back in the day like Andrae! "...bow down, bow down, b---ow down!"

This album takes me back to my youth when I first became a Chrisitan. The lyrics have so much meaning to me that it is diffucut to express my feelings about this album. It is just a wonderful album. The music and lyrics just inspire me and are a great blessing. I am proud to share this with my children and hope they receive the blessings that I had with these songs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Filled with my Favorite '70's Musical Styles, June 6, 2010

This review is from: I'll Be Thinking of You (Audio CD)

My favorite musical artists in the '70s were Earth, Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder and Steely Dan. Andrae Crouch's "I'll Be Thinking of You" is filled with contributions frome EWF's Philip Bailey, and contributions from Larry Carlton and Joe Sample (from the legendary Jazz Fusion combo "The Crusaders"), who also worked within the framework of the Steely Dan sound. And of course, Stevie makes a contribution on "I'll Be Thinking of You".

The result is a record that would have uses it's Gospel roots to assimilate into the pop sound of it's day. The most obvious example of this is "I've Got the Best", which to me is the only "disco-gospel" song I've every heard- I find it hard to imagine a disco ball shining over the choir stand:)

At the time the LP was release, many felt that Andrae had crossed the line and made an album that was too pop. That might have been the case, as "Jesus Is Lord" was the only song to get airplay on gospel radio. And it has since become a gospel standard itself. That's no surprise since its also the only song on the album with a more traditional gospel sound.
