Soul is not really my kind of music. Maybe it should be. I discovered this album back in the Eighties when I heard it playing in a shop.<\/p>\n

The title track, a cover of Sam Cooke\u2019s song, is astonishing. The pace is slower than the original. The song builds from a quiet, haunting opening into a heartfelt, almost prayerful appeal. Burke\u2019s effortless vocals are melodic yet powerful; it sounds real, even to the voiceover at the end.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long long long time comin\u2019, but a change is gonna come, a change has got to come.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is nothing quite like it elsewhere on the album, but plenty to enjoy, from the soulful Love buys Love<\/em> to fun tracks like Don\u2019t Tell me what a man won\u2019t do for a woman<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The sound is immaculate, and the accompaniment, including the \u201cWindfall Horns\u201d (Bill Samuels, Terry Tullos and Ernie Gautreau), is nearly perfect.<\/p>\n

It is the sound of New Orleans and was recorded at Studio Solo in Slidell, Louisiana.<\/p>\n
