Review by Another_Swede Mar 10, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Respect - Watford have released so many classics that he now deserves to be called a LEGEND! The combination of his great voice and tight productions make the tracks timeless. Check out - "For You", "Happy Man", "Holdin' On", "Love Change Over", "Love To The World", "Luv 4-2", "Michael's Prayer" and "So Into You" for strong US Garage. Also worth check out is his "Brotherhood Of Soul" project together with the Colonel Abrams and Jay Williams. Highly recommended - Good music never dies and people will always like to dance to true House music = Michael Watford!
