Eddie Holland's first and only Motown LP has the future Hall-of-Fame songwriter doing his best Jackie Wilson imitation. Most of the songs were co-written by brother Brian Holland, except his hit &Jamie& and the lackluster &It's Not Too Late.& Written by Barrett &Money& Strong and William &Mickey& Stevenson, &Jamie& featured swirling strings, the Rayber Singers, percolating rhythms, and a sterling vocal from Holland. Ironically, the condemning &You Deserved What You Get& followed &Jamie& as a single, but was omitted from this collection. Most of the material sounds dated, even for 1962, the biggest culprits being &Take a Chance on Me,& &Last Night I Had a Vision,& and &It's Too Late.& &If It's Love It's Alright& attempts to clone &Jamie,& but failed to generate the same interest. Unfortunately, Eddie Holland's best Motown singles -- &Just Ain't Enough Love,& &Leaving Here,& and &Candy to Me& -- were released after this album, but Motown never saw fit to release another Holland album.
