Johnnie Taylor departed Beverly Glenn and made an immediate and welcome impact with his debut at Malaco. They continued having him do evocative ballads like the title cut, mixed in a few uptempo wailers, and were close to putting Taylor back in the ball game. They weren't able to duplicate their Z.Z. Hill success, but Taylor was making music and singing tunes that he felt and believed in, and the results were obvious.
