(4 out of 5 stars)

"Yet another of those mid 70's R&B highlights that are out of print or astronomically prized. There are no weak tracks and five marvels, namely:

Love's on the Menu, The devil in Mrs Jones, Thank you early bird

(my favorite), as well as the first and third track. These compete with the best of Ashford&Simpson or Barry White. The female choir does a terrific job throughout, akin to Johnny Bristol's all time great "Hang on in there Baby". If you like this one, get the Jerry Butler&Thelma Houston collaboration as well!"
