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".

Thank you also for that! Your introduction made me even more curious to listen to this late 70s Shirley Brown's album.
