A masterclass in shifting from pretty poor soul to cutting social commentary. The opening bass of Papa alone set the scene for what is to come. This is such an ambitious album. I was going to give it four stars. The First Time I Ever Saw tipped it over to five. Run Charlie Run doesn't get played on the radio today. Fancy that.

Love this - the harmonies, the funk. The best ever version of 'Papa...', no contest. The space and pauses in it work so well. It does sound like a bit of a compilation, the sound not really pulling the tracks together as an cohesive album, but as collection of songs and performances, it's brilliant.
