Genre: Pop
Places I remember: Second hand store in Turakina
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: I Wanna Roo You
Gear costume: Paradise
Active compensatory factors: Jackie DeShannon has a nice soulful vocal style. The material on this album allows her to shine, and although it wasn't commercially successful in 1972 it's a good album that makes her sound relaxed. It helps that the musical settings are complimentary.

A Rolling Stone reviewer at the time described her singing thus: what is so satisfying about her singing is the tension she accumulates by always just holding back the full wallop.
Although it's tough for her to shake that 60's image thanks to those hit love songs (Put A Little Love In Your Heart, What The World Needs Now for example), this album is a successful early seventies repositioning of her talent. It's definitely worth a listen.
Where do they all belong? Next up in the pop rock category - are we not men? No, we are...Devo!
