Last album on Salsoul Records for the talented trio ; and they went with a bang.
Featuring 6 dynamite disco tracks out of the 8 songs featured here.
The title song is one of their best (that infectious guitar riff is a highlight !!!),SITTIN' PRETTY is what I like to call a ballad with a disco beat,A HAPPY LOVE AFFAIR is mellow and danceable (great strings & horns) and Rochelle Fleming gets her point across.She truly excels at this.
Side B opens with PRESSURE POINT,a midtempo dance track - great song.I CAN SHOW YOU (BETTER THAN I CAN TELL YOU) is another winner but my all-time favorite First Choice track is CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU.You can feel the pain in Rochelle's voice as she tells her man to slow down and enjoy the moment.
A very solid album.
