This 1970 debut under his own name features singer/lyricist
Paul Williams working with songwriter
Roger Nichols, resulting in a set of bright, upbeat pop -- highlighted by the sparkling title track (also recorded by
the Monkees on their
Instant Replay LP of the previous year).
Williams' amiable,
Elton John-like vocals carry the tunes here, most notably the anthemic title track. With its buoyant '70s horn-and-string arrangements, the record sounds charmingly dated, making it ideal for aficionados of that era. ~ Eric Schneider
