....in the rough. One of the post disco albums that was slept on. This band released their follow up to the disco classic "IM CAUGHT UP (IN ONE NIGHT LOVE AFFAIRS)" in 1981. The exuberant ballad "ITS WONDERFUL" showcases lead singer (The great JOCELYN BROWN's) earthy vocals. The power and tenderness in which she sings of a great love shows you she was in peak form and was definitely one the great voices of disco and r&b at the time. She penned that tune as well. Another winner is the slow jam "MAKE IT LAST FOREVER" (Not to be confused with Keith Sweat's version)

The dance jams are hear of course "PAY GIRL" and the funky remake of "AINT NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH" in which BROWN delivers an intense performance on a funky beat. The undeniable "KNOCK OUT (LETS GO ANOTHER ROUND)" will have you singing the chorus for days! This is a sleeper of a album for late 70's/early 80's r&b buffs. All the cuts are well produced and crafted. This group always delivers consistent efforts and the listen is not a bore with just 7 tracks. It is actually too short and leaves you wanting more. With JOCELYN BROWN singing on all the songs you just cant go wrong. Groove on!

The Cd packaging does not give the original year of release, and elsewhere there has been some confusion whether this was Inner Life's second or third album. It is, however, their best release. Lead singer Jocelyn Brown is in the forefront of the mix, strong and recognizable in each track and even author of one track ("Pay Girl"). The original album starts and ends with ballads, the first being an especially good torch song, and contains three good dance tunes ("Ain't No Mountain," "Let's Go Another Round," "Let's Get This Thing Together," with the latter being a previously unreleased bonus track.) While I never thought that this version of the Ashford and Simpson classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was a definitive one, it and the other tracks grow more memorable with repeated listening. As an album, the whole holds together well and is more than a home to a good extended track padded with filler material. It is one of the better disco era long plays.
