The perfect CD for those one-to-one sessions. Smooth urban with more dramatic performances than you'll find on or off Broadway.
Keith Sweat and
Jacci McGhee are inseparable on "Make It Last Forever," and
Sweat's protégés,
Kut Klose, get bed-roomy on "I Like."
Simply Red's heart-rending recital of
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "If You Don't Know Me by Know" singes like the original. Add selections by
Gerald and
Eddie Levert, Mikki Howard,
Chaka Khan, and others, including
Shirley Murdock's seducing (she never holds back) "As We Lay," and you have a potent package of red-light specials. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
