Late 70s Stax from Shirley Brown -- a set that's quite different than her previous Woman To Woman album -- with a well-rounded groove, and a somewhat sophisticated soul feel overall! Given the date, there's some obvious nods to the dancefloor at points -- but overall, the record's more of a modern soul effort than a disco one -- similar to classy female soul of the sort you might hear from Marlena Shaw or Jean Carn at the time, which is quite a change for Shirley! David Porter produced along with Lester Snell -- who plays keyboards on the set -- and Shirley's voice has matured wonderfully by the time of this set, very much up to the challenge of the change. Titles include "After A Night Like This", "When, Where, & What Time", "Eyes Can't See", and "Move Me Move Me".
