Free Music Review: A Strong Debut For A Real Talent
Hit: 4 Stars
First of all, in the context of the time that this was recorded, it was a pleasant departure from what was dominating the airwaves. At that time most of the record chart hits had a disco beat and were heavily produced. Then comes this recording heralded by the tender R&B influenced "What You Won't Do For Love" which instantly became etched in just about everyone's memory. The song had a directness, a tenderness, with a simple horn chart and spare accompaniment. The song is timeless.
Bobby has very clear tenor voice with an excellent range and he knows how to use it. This simplicity and directness carries through the whole of this recording. They songs all have the "heart on the sleeve" feeling. There's a bit of heartbreak with all the sentimentality. So much so that it's almost borne of that early sixties innocence.
The songs are diverse in influence. Jazzy, with Carribean, World, Pop and in one case Disco influences. Although the Disco tune is not as heavy handed as that genre could be. That being the first cut on this recording.
Throughout Bobby delivers with a grace and maturity, if a little tortured in the lost-love or scenarios of some of the songs.
It's good simple pop music, which as I said was a refreshing departure from the heavy production values and arena rock recordings of the time. Bobby has since had a good career both as a songwriter, session singer and headliner in his own right. He has tackled some diverse material and has even outdone the Michael Bubles and Harry Connicks of the world with two popular standard recordings.
It all begins here.
