Not a fan of pop/soul, so this was definitely NOT in my wheelhouse... That said, for a 1963-64 album, it was fairly well done... Solomon can clearly sing, and does a good job on every track, and I liked the diversity of sound throughout the album - even though every song was a 3-minute ditty on a similar topics - but I guess that's what songs were like back then... I guess this is on the list because I read that there were like 7 number 1 hits on this album - which is hard to fathom, but okay... Compared to most other albums, this one is going to fall well short, as it is clearly dated... However, for it's time, it was exceptionally well-done compared to most...
