专辑介绍
by Bruce Eder
If you overlook the title track, a pop hit in the manner of &Stay Awhile& et al, this is Springfield's best R&B album of her early career. &Won't Be Long& shows Springfield as a soul-shouter par excellence, now with the backing to match, a reasonable fascimile of an authentic American sound, and she alternates with her softer ballad singing. But whether she's covering songs by Goffin-King (&Oh No! Not My Baby,& &I Can't Hear You&), Burt Bacharach (&Long After Tonight Is Over&), Randy Newman (&I've Been Wrong Before&), or Ragavoy and Russell (&It Was Easier to Hurt Him&), she makes it come out in her most alluring R&B style. There are a few breaks in the mood, like a less than compelling &La Bamba& and a rendition of &Who Can I Turn To& that's close in spirit to Dionne Warwick at her poppiest, but generally Springfield is consistently superb here, even elevating Rod Argent's &If It Don't Work Out& in an achingly soulful rendition. The 1999 Mercury reissue contains a trio of tracks never before issued in the U.S. &Doodlin'& and &Packin' Up& are lively enough, and the latter features an uncredited guitar solo, a first on a Springfield record and a fine counterpoint to her lusty, shouted performance, but the real jewel is her poignant, lyrical rendition of &That's How Heartaches Are Made.&
