Johnnie Taylor is one of the our favourite Soul Singers of all time, and during the 70’s he was at his prime.These two albums from ’77 and ’78 were produced by Don Davis and are quality 70’s soul throughout.’Your Love Is Rated X’ is a classic mid tempo stepper, ‘Here I Go’ a modern soul mid tempo, ‘Hey Mister Melody Maker’ and ‘Ever Ready’ uptempo dancers. ‘Love Is Better In the A.M’ and ‘Give Me My Baby’ are mid tempo funky soul groovers. Johnnie excels on the ballads and ‘Stormy’, ‘Soul Fillet’ , ‘I’m Just A Shoulder To Cry On’ and the string laden ‘I Love To Make Love When It’s Raining’ are stunning examples. Two great timeless albums which sound even fresher now. Classic 70’s Soul.
