5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album Since Her Debut!, July 15, 2004

By	Andre' S Grindle "Funk Meister" (Bangor,ME.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The title song of 'Winner In You' is pleasantly theatrical and I have plenty of fond childhood memories of "On My Own" but,once again Patti cooks best on her uptempo dance songs and there are some great ones here!"Something Special (Is Gonna Happen Tonight" and "Twisted" both shine in the same,brassy
synth-soul vein of "New Attitude" whitch is something this lady
has plenty of.Patti's "Greatest Hits" collections are recommended
highly but as albums go this and her 1977 Epic debut are the only
available full-lengh Patti Labelle albums you'll ever need!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous! Patti at her best during the '80s!!!, September 6, 2004

By	Preston (nc) - See all my reviews

This album still is a favorite to me! I like how the message-driven Oh People weaves into On My Own and then to the funky Something Special and to the bridge-heavy Kiss Away...,and to the no-nonsense Twisted. Patti sings in diva like fashion with her soulful voice on here. Only the last two songs don't grab me as much since there's so much solid material on here. But this album from 1986 is Patti at her best during that decade and solidified her as a well received singer to this day! Richard Perry, even after producing several successful Pointer Sisters albums and other artists, should be commmended for producing this album for Patti. I'd get that album or CD version of it again if I wanted to hear it! It's so very well done--she makes us a winner in us by having us hear it!

5.0 out of 5 stars miss patti- a winner in herself, June 28, 2001

By	J. Fulghum (Beeville, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In my opinion, Miss Patti, is one of the best female rhythm & blues singer of our time. With this album, she has created a base of loyal fans. With Winner In You, she has indeed a musical identity of her own. The most beautiful song in this album, On My Own, a marvelous duet with Michael McDonald, proves that she simply is'nt just another female singer. She starts the song in her lower vocal range and ends it literally soaring, reaching the very top of her range. One of her best. A winning diva all the way!
