Reviews
Edited 7 years agoThis is a fantastic soul album. Merry's voice is absolutely amazing to listen to, I haven't stopped listening to this album since discovering it only a few weeks ago.- I am a 21 year old college student, so I was not very familiar with Merry Clayton until I did a contemporary dance piece to her version of "A Song For You". She quickly became one of my favorite artists. I love dancing to her music and I can always find a song on her albums to fit whatever mood I am in. Dancing to her music helps me creatively and I really admire her talent.
