专辑介绍

by Andrew Hamilton

There's an old saying &You can take a person out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the person.& Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff surrounded Joe Simon with M.F.S.B., hot songs, and Bobby Martin's arrangements, and Simon still comes off sounding country, but in a positive vein. &Drowning in the Sea of Love& shot up the charts, settling at number three R&B and number 11 pop, and was a certified million-seller. This album is the most successful of Simon's career. &Pool of Bad Luck& nearly duplicated the success of &Drowning&; both songs were similar to productions Gamble & Huff were doing with Jerry Butler. Simon's thick Southern drawl didn't discourage record buyers at all; &I Found My Dad& is the most country-based song on the album, with the same flavor as his past R&B number one hit &The Choking Kind.& The ballads are as effective as the up-tempo numbers; &If& and a remake of the Stylistics' &You Are Everything& demonstrate Simon's versatility. Though an unusual marriage at first glance (similar to when Holland-Dozier-Holland announced they were going to produce Junior Walker), it worked extremely well, producing some of the best songs of Simon's career.
