The album is just great, but i give 3 stars because of the sound quality is a little dissapointing (taken from vinyl and sounds like a cd from the mid-eighties), the original masters are gone??.
Every serious soul fan should have the song "what about my love" in his collection though.

This is definitely one of Johnnie's best recordings ever in his 40 something music career. "I'm so Proud" was an underrated ballad. This man is truly one of the greatest soul singers of all time.
