5.0 out of 5 stars My FAVE LP From Angie!, May 27, 2003

{{I've Learned to Respect (The Power of Love)}}

That song have a very spiritual meaning, really moving too!

Angela Winbush wrote that song in 1976 for Alton McClain & Destiny and then it was topped in the charts in 1986 by Stephanie Mills. Finaly, Angie sang it in her 1989 release Its The Real Thing.

Personaly, I can't figure out which one is the betta version! Stephanie or Angela? I saw both ladies on the Apollo back in 2000 and they broke down while pre4ming that #. They tore the roof and people of all ages were crying after they finished the song.

I heard Angela's version last night and I noticed that while singing that tune at the end she hollered "Stephanie, let me tell ya about that power!" like both ladies have witnessed the same pain and only BOTH know what went down in their struggles.

Very Well produced LP and the lyrics are jawdropping! "Precious" is my FAVE jame from there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lost Treasure Deserving of Discovery, December 2, 2001

I have yet to understand why the wife of superstar Ronald Isley has not received her due recognition. As a songwriter, she is in a class by herself and her distinctive voice is easily recognizable to all familiar with it. This late 80's gem is worth the purchase. The exemplary cuts are "Lay Your Troubles Down," performed with husband Isley, "Ménage a Trois," and the hit "I've Learned to Respect (the Power of Love)."

C'mon, folks, the title says it all. Y'can't get "realer" than this.
